From point 3, we followed the signs for a recently organised mountain bike trail leading to La Mournière, the waste collection centre and point 6. This shortens the hike a little but is still enjoyable.

A short, family-friendly route that is easy on the eye. It is still advisable to take a small IGN map with you, as the grolle can be a little unreliable at times...

A beautiful hike, but thankfully we had a map because some of the markings have been erased or are non-existent.

Good route. It's a shame that the markings on the outside are either faded or non-existent. A map is essential. Otherwise, you pass through some beautiful places.
