Hello,

Actually, the aim of this route is more about brisk walking, not far from Épernay.

It wasn't a great start, apart from the view from the dam.
After crossing the road instead of following the route, and as it was hot, we went up into the woods where we found a lovely path and saw two little raccoons.
