An afternoon hike in beautiful winter sunshine. With the ploughed fields, it's true that it's relatively monotonous, but it's a good way to get some fresh air. I was lucky, it was freezing hard and there was no wind.

hike with monotonous landscapes but beautiful panoramic views from the orientation table. At point 3 in Azelot, the hall is closed to the public for safety reasons. In general, religious buildings are also closed due to theft, which is a shame for hikers and visitors. Tip: do this hike in spring when the weather is mild, as it is a windy route in the open countryside with no protective wooded areas. For orientation, it is advisable to download the map onto your smartphone so you can follow it and avoid getting lost and walking extra kilometres.

The signposting is a bit sparse, but no problem with a GPX track.

Hike taken after several days of rain... to get some fresh air!
Hike mainly on dirt roads, very flat, long straight lines, monotonous
One positive point: the plateau overlooks the plain and offers a panoramic view of the rural villages of Vermois and the city of Nancy.

Hike through fields of corn, cereals and cabbages on the Lorraine plateau, which is very exposed to the sun and wind. Do not do this in cold weather.

Thank you, Juliette Laventure
The signposting is not our responsibility, nor that of the author, but the description and map should normally be sufficient to prevent you from getting lost.
Let's wait for a response from the author.

The almost total absence of signposts should be compensated for by a more precise description of the junctions. My husband and I have over 40 years' hiking experience, yet we took four wrong turns. Fortunately, the route is simple, but I would only recommend it to those who have a good sense of direction and are not afraid to walk an extra kilometre or two.
Furthermore, the IGN map is not detailed enough to be very accurate. It is best to take the original IGN map with you to see the details clearly.

A very pleasant hike, but some of the markings were missing... but with the Visorando app and GPS, we managed just fine.
Lovely scenery. My girlfriend and I didn't know the area, but we don't regret it. Very nice.

A hike to be done on a calm autumn day. Markings are sparse in some places, but the advantage is that you can navigate by sight.

I tested this hike on 28 September as a reconnaissance trip and on 2 October with a group.
We took the same amount of time, i.e. 3 hours.
It should be noted that the yellow markings are very poorly placed and often missing where they should be (intersections and changes of direction)
Finally, contrary to what is written in the description, there are two shelters along the route: one in Azelot near the church with a water source and one in Manoncourt-en-Vermois next to the old wash house.

The description helped me a little, but it was more my vague knowledge of the area that guided me, and I know that you are not responsible for the signposting

Thank you, dunan.sandrine@gmail.com.
Would you have got lost even with Visorando's description and map? Please note that the signposting is not our responsibility, nor that of the author.

Very easy hike but very few markings. Luckily, I know a little about the location of the villages to pass through, otherwise I would have got lost

Hello
We did this hike on 12 April 2015 in 3 hours and 5 minutes. There is no shade along the entire route.
The markings are sparse on the way out of Azelot.
Thank you for your information.
