part of it has been damaged by logging, so don't go hiking if it has rained beforehand, which is a shame

A lovely walk that we were lucky enough to enjoy in lovely weather at the end of October. We had no real trouble matching the description to the actual terrain, and the moderate difficulty was just right – a point we’d like to thank the route planner for.
A walk just the way we like them, with varied scenery: woods, meadows, vineyards, villages (as residents of Champagne, we enjoy finding more to the surrounding area than just vineyards), beautiful landscapes and sweeping views. A real treat for contemplative walkers like us!
Perhaps best avoided in the event of excessive heat in summer, as a good portion of the route is exposed.
There’s no doubt it will now become part of the collection of walks we like to return to fairly regularly.

Hello Thierry-Marie,

I did this route about a fortnight ago, and I didn’t encounter any of the issues you’ve raised. I used the app, and my route is identical in every respect to the hiking map. The route on the map is therefore completely reliable.

In particular, between points 3 and 4, the planned route goes to the left of the stream, which is perfectly clear on the map and on the ground.

This isn’t my route, and I don’t know the author. But I can imagine how your criticism must be demoralising him...

I recommend using the app; it’s much easier than reading a map.

Between 3 and 4, you have to go down to the stream via "la fosse" and follow the stream to the right.
Between 5 and 6, there is a sharp fork to the left; not shown on the map...
At point 7, turn left then right (or left then right; the paths join up): signposted clearly, nothing more to add...
At point 10, take the path on the left in the hamlet known as “Les Rosiers” and not at the exit as indicated.

I haven't seen any today, Monday.

During the hunting season, it’s a good idea to check with the local council for any scheduled driven hunts. This walk takes us through the areas of Sainte-Gemme, Passy-Grigny, Champvoisy and Verneuil. Not to mention that private woodlands may be used for hunting by their owners as they see fit. Wearing an orange vest isn’t a suit of armour, but at least it makes you visible.
Thank you for your interest in this hike.

Done today, under a faint sun. A really lovely walk, with some lovely views. Plenty to nibble on along the way: forgotten grapes, apples, pears, fallen walnuts. Very pleasant paths through the woods.

Quite a few climbs, though.

Thanks for suggesting it.

Hello,

Are there any hunters in these woods?
