Not a very interesting route as more than 90% of it is on small roads.
It's a shame because the view is quite nice.
Another big problem is that the route is not signposted, so the app was really useful.

99% of the time on tarmac, with no recreational interest other than walking. On the other hand, the church is beautiful 😉

Mainly asphalt route to be taken in rainy weather. Beautiful rolling countryside.
On the way back, pass through the village centre.

Hello,
It's true that there's a lot of road, so it's a route for rainy periods when the paths are impassable and the sun is shy.

Magnificent landscapes that give you a great sense of space. I didn't enjoy the route quite as much, as it was almost exclusively on tarmac roads (with the exception of a few hundred metres just before the finish).
Overall, a nice and easy hike.

Thank you for your comment. You didn't dare join us for tea, but the invitation was genuine. You can see us again on video by requesting the "Rando Castelfondaise". All the best, and perhaps we'll see you soon.

Hiking mainly on small, quiet roads.
We met the author of this hike completely by chance and it was with great pleasure that we hiked with his group of very friendly hikers.
