lots of tracks that had been badly damaged (impassable on 1 April) by forestry and agricultural work, and 8 km along a greenway (a straight stretch running alongside the road)

A pleasant and easy ride, contrary to the rating (no real climb)
It’s worth noting that half the walk follows a greenway which passes through villages and runs close to the road (which has little traffic). However, you’ll be out in the sun; it’s flat but less enjoyable if you’re looking to explore the heart of nature

Two points where we got a bit lost
The start: take Rue de l’Église (if you’re standing in front of the church facing the street); at the end of this short, uphill street, turn right and you’ll see a sign for ‘Bratte’ – you’ve arrived

4. The sign for the speed camera is misleading – ignore it. Carry on straight ahead along the track; do not take the small path on the left which leads to the speed camera and a rather tedious mini motocross route. Just in case, get back onto the tarmac track on the right and you’ll reach number 5 without any trouble

It's all in the title. The views along the route are breathtaking. When you reach the Sivry valley, you'll find yourself in a truly enchanting landscape. This hike is full of discoveries, including animals (llamas, mouflons, etc.) whose presence is unexpected at the site of the former microlight flying club. What's more, there is great variety, with part of the route in the forest and the other in open fields. Remember to bring a pair of binoculars, as they will come in handy.
