A very nice, varied walk. Perhaps in summer, do the walk in the other direction to get the least shaded section at the start of the route.
The picnic table before el Perchay, mentioned in a previous comment, is not visible from the path.

A very nice walk, and at that time there were a lot of moorhens being born on the lake at Moulin de Vallieres.

Take advantage of the bakery in Commeny before setting off!
Very pretty walk with 2 ponds, picnic just before the entrance to Le Perchay, near the wash-house, calm and restful.
Semi-shaded route with no difficulties.
We made a diversion to visit the village of Gouzangrez just before returning to Commeny.
Many thanks to Visorando.

A very nice walk, with pretty landscapes and sites such as the Gouline wash-house and mill, and the Vallière pond. Very pleasant paths in the undergrowth, all the more enjoyable as it was very hot. The last part was less pleasant, namely the last 3 km on the chaussée Jules César, which had no shade! There were also some nice hazelnut pickings along the way. Otherwise, the 14 km were completed without any difficulty.

Nice crossing of the fields via the Chaussée Jules César.

I live in LE PERCHAY, and I can confirm that the section leading to the Silo and onto the Chaussée Jules César is dangerous.

Great walk, very pleasant with plenty of places to stop. However, beware of the sections that cross the road, especially the section near the silo before you reach the Roman road. There's no space at the side of the road and the cars go very fast! Be careful, especially with children!
