Departure from Saint-Léger-en-Yvelines (Yvelines)
A forest trail featuring several remarkable trees, including the particularly tall Hêtre du CERF and the majestic Chêne de l'Ascension. The route generally follows very well-maintained paths. A section on a poorly maintained path requires a good sense of direction.
