Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. It’s true that the Ste-Foy l’Argentière section is only worth visiting if you want to stock up on supplies. But, well...

A lovely walk, though it’s a shame that the stretch through Sainte-Foy and L’Argentière wasn’t very interesting; still, it was a lovely, peaceful walk that’s well worth doing

A very pleasant walk in the Monts du Lyonnais. I’d also recommend starting in Sainte-Foy so you can tackle the climb right at the start. There’s a slight discrepancy between the description and the route shown on the map before reaching St Laurent, but it’s not really a problem.
Thanks to Visorandonneur, I highly recommend this walk.

A very pleasant walk. The signposting at the start and end of the route was a bit unclear. Using the app on my phone to follow the route was helpful. The climb up to Saint-Laurent-de-Chamousset isn’t too much of a struggle

The hike could start at St Foy l'Argentière, which is at the lowest altitude. This would avoid the steep climb (short but steep) towards the end.
A pleasant hike with beautiful views.
You really do need to follow the route carefully on the map, or better still, download the route onto a GPS device to be on the safe side.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, which has enabled me to complete checkpoint 5.
Indeed, at this point you need to pay particular attention to the route description and the GRP markings, which are rather inconspicuous.
I’m delighted that you enjoyed this hike despite the terrain being difficult to navigate at times (the section through the woods on the way back also requires a great deal of attention) and that it has made you want to return with a group of hikers.
Please do not hesitate to suggest any additions if you think they are necessary.
Kind regards.

Hello,
We went for this walk yesterday; it took us quite a long time.
We got lost at the end of the path that runs alongside the meadows with horses (near Vermont, the signposting is far from the
path), you need to turn left onto the road and at the junction there is a sign for Souzy; turn left and walk 100–200 metres, then turn right (it is not a private road as the letterbox suggests).
After the ‘Les Vignes’ signpost, you walk through the large woods; to find the right path here, you really need a bit of luck as there are many junctions.
But the walk is very pleasant; we’re doing it again on 16 May with a group of walkers

Good evening, this isn’t a signposted walk but a described one. That’s why you should always carry the relevant IGN map with you. I hope, however, that you had a pleasant time, and in any case, thank you for your feedback, which has enabled me to update the description, particularly in point 3. See you soon on the trails of the Mondu Lyonnais.

I got a bit lost following the directions, particularly as I couldn’t find the starting point and the signposting was often missing.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your feedback, which has enabled me to correct the timeline in point 3.
As for the route on the map, it seems fairly accurate to me, and the elevation gain shown is that calculated by the Visiorando software.
In any case, thank you again for your feedback.
Kind regards.

I’m not in the habit of giving the Visorandonneurs a hard time, but in this case, enough is enough…
Everything was fine up to point 3 where, contrary to what is indicated, you have to take the path on the left that goes uphill, then at the next junction, the path on the right... Perhaps Mr Frédéric Roesch suffers from dyslexia.
Furthermore, you only find the Chemin des Cinq Liards after passing the hamlet of Chez Brois, as before that the path is simply called Chez Brois!!!
In short, from there on, I preferred to follow my GPS (indispensable, for once!!!) rather than rely on the directions, without bothering to check whether they remained just as fanciful.
Otherwise, a lovely, easy walk (even if, once again, the elevation gain given is fanciful, as my calibrated altimeter recorded 462 metres of ascent, an error of nearly 20%!!!), with beautiful scenery.
