Notes

Important: this circuit is off the beaten track. All the landmarks mentioned in the description (place names, castle names, but also high-voltage power lines, bridges, etc.) are shown on the corresponding IGN 1/25,000 map but are not always shown on the reduced map.
We strongly recommend that you either purchase the map or use the app on a smartphone, which will also allow you to be geolocated at all times so you can track your movements accurately.
The route may cross or follow other marked routes. It is tempting to follow the markings! Unless otherwise specified, do not stray from the route.
The use of walking sticks can be very useful and reassuring. In addition to providing stability, they improve the distribution of effort.
Reminder: cyclists have priority on the Lapébie Trail! Be very careful, as some cyclists ride fast and are very quiet...

A lovely ride combining cycle paths, forest trails and a few quiet roads. The variety of paths and landscapes is enjoyable. Be careful in rainy weather, as two stream crossings can be tricky!

Hello, we found the route very pleasant, with beautiful sections through forests and woodlands, fairly hilly but not muddy apart from two small streams, very well marked and easy to follow.

We started from the Bel Air industrial estate (a somewhat isolated location, I admit), but we found Créon even more enjoyable, and after Créon we took a detour to the left onto the La Pébie trail. Very pleasant

A very good hike.

The route description needs to be revised because in several places (P2 and P5) the path no longer exists, so you have to improvise.
But there's no need to worry about getting lost.

a pleasant, peaceful walk with plenty of wooded areas and no difficulties.
at point 7, ignore the description of the place called "Richard"; simply turn right onto the Créon road, then, as indicated, turn left at the Y junction.

hello,
on Sunday at 2 p.m., I set off on this route, which I found pleasant and varied, with perfect weather for walking. I extended my walk at the end by taking the cycle path, but in the opposite direction. There were cyclists on the path, but by walking on the grassy side, no one was inconvenienced.
the paths were very passable.
as I did the Pout loop twice, I will do it again. Thank you.

Lovely little loop
Sharing the greenway with cyclists is not very pleasant

A very pleasant hike, but not to be done in rainy weather or at weekends, as the Lapébie cycle path is very busy.
Best done in spring.
Thank you for this beautiful and easy hike.

We did this hike in very wet weather, so the undergrowth and vineyards were waterlogged.
Nevertheless, the circuit is very interesting and the description is accurate.
We'll do it again in the spring.
Thank you, Brino

hello,
This was my first hike with the details on paper around Creon. The map and waypoints were perfect.
It was a short but very pleasant hike in the heart of nature, with parish specific to Brittany, very clean and easy-to-follow paths. For a first hike, it was perfect. Thank you, Bruno.
the next one will be a little longer because I love walking and I will download the app.
Happy hiking, everyone.

Thank you for these comments. It is indeed quite muddy at the moment, but there are still a few walks along very quiet minor roads that can avoid these problems.
I noticed that you didn't use a map, if I may say so: when you're off the beaten track, you're never safe from the unexpected: flooded paths, fallen trees, etc. Without a map, it's very difficult to improvise a plan B...

The walk is very muddy at this time of year, but still very pleasant.
