A lovely route around a pretty lake; the second half through the woods is more pleasant than the first part along the monotonous road. We couldn’t find the containers.

it's lovely, very short (can be done in 45 minutes), and not difficult at all.
but a large part of it is on the road, which is a shame.

Staying at Les Soulins campsite, we went on this hike; admittedly, there aren’t any spectacular views apart from the one of the lake from the higher ground.
However, there’s a steep climb at the start and finish, so you do need to be in decent shape.
Well worth doing for a good walk to keep fit.
A lovely spot at the Maquis Chaumard memorial, a site dedicated to the memory of the Resistance in the Morvan

Between markers 3 and 4, after the footbridge, whilst following the blue marker indicating a right turn, we went through some poorly maintained woodland and lost the path. We rejoined the road by following the contour line and finished the walk correctly. As we drove off, we spotted a blue marker further up indicating the path we should have taken to come out onto the road. I intend to retrace the walk in reverse from this point one day, heading towards the footbridge, to work out exactly where we went wrong.
It is clear that the guide sheet lacks detail in this area.

A lovely circular loop, with a bit of road (though part of it can be avoided by taking a path below that runs alongside the road) and some sections through the woods. Special mention for the pretty bridge over the river.

Hello,

My sister and I went on this hike and were disappointed by how uninteresting it was.
The route involves too many roads and there are no nice views.
At point 3, you’re supposed to take a private path leading to some houses, but no path is visible (perhaps hidden by the vegetation?)
We had to go back to the road and turn right at the end of it.

From the very first signpost, we couldn’t find the fountain and had to go down a path that was clearly private. We couldn’t work out how to get back on the trail. So we headed back to the road to pick up the trail again at the next hamlet. A lovely climb through the woods – no viewpoint was mentioned, but with the summer heat, you can’t see a thing anyway. Then back onto the road. In the end, far too much road for us.
