Notes

Whilst there are quite a few benches along the route, there are no picnic tables at all!
Those who aren’t keen on tarmac should be warned: there’s quite a lot of it on this countryside route, mainly when passing through or alongside the villages of Chanxhe, Le Fays, Chaply, Flagothier, La Haze, Lincé, Lillé, Presseux and Fraiture towards the end.
