A quiet and varied route. Lovely ponds and beautiful greenery. We came across a deer and saw several animal tracks.
The Guirandole River isn’t anything to write home about as the water looks quite polluted. There are a few yellow markers along the route, but the description is a great help, especially at the start.
I agree with the comment above: you need to follow the road to the right as it goes downhill (keeping to the left-hand side so you can turn easily towards Seguinaud)
A lovely family walk! I recommend it

Hike completed at the end of December, and well worth the detour! Almost entirely in the woods, with very wide forest tracks at the beginning, followed by a few sections on narrow winding paths through the woods. Splendid.

A beautiful hike in a very pleasant setting on a hot day, as there is plenty of shade!
Just one small comment: the description for stage 3 says: Follow this road to the "left" downhill. For us, this road had to be taken to the RIGHT, as indicated on the map... ?
Otherwise, the route is well signposted except for a few small places (the pidgeon hunting hut, for example) but... with a little common sense and goodwill... you'll get there without any problems!
Note: the bridges in poor condition have been repaired (replaced by cement posts). Thank you.

A beautiful hike that is not very busy at this time of year. As reported by a hiker in June 2024, the bridge on stage 8 is badly damaged and has still not been repaired. We also encountered two sheepdogs guarding sheep along the route. The field was enclosed by an electric fence and the passage was very narrow. They were quite aggressive but they were doing their job. It was impressive. It is best to avoid coming with a pet to avoid any conflict.

A very beautiful hike through woods, undergrowth and fields. We didn't see a single person during the entire 3½ hours, but we did see a vole, a frog, deer and fawns. Around stage 8, the bridge over the stream is completely broken, so you either need to be fairly fit or cross the stream barefoot. This could be difficult for older people.
But overall, it's a very beautiful hike.

We did this hike on 6 March, and we think it would be better in spring!

There is a sign missing at level 8 to turn left and head towards Le Grand Fouillère.
A beautiful route through shaded forest paths.
Ideal in summer during hot weather.

At stage 1, there is a "private property, no entry" sign and a signpost is missing to continue along the path opposite, which descends towards the pond.
There is a signpost missing at the pigeon hunting hut, stage 5, to continue along the path opposite and not enter the pigeon hunting hut on the right. We retraced our steps.

Very pleasant hike.
Completed in 3.5 hours.

Improvements:
At stage 1, a "private property, no trespassing" sign blocks access to the middle of the white path that leads down to the pond.
It would be a good idea to add a signpost at this location.
At the pigeon hunting hut, stage 5, add a signpost to confirm the path opposite and not to enter the pigeon hunting hut on the right.
