Chemins des Pâtis

In the middle of the Pâtis, a hike that can be done in all seasons.
The name of this hike came from my imagination as I took the "grand Pâtis" path, which is outside the route. The routes are created by hikers.
A pâtis is an uncultivated meadow or cattle pasture.

In response to Fafou.
The name of this hike came from my imagination when I took the "Grand Pâtis" path, which is outside the Guibretière route. The routes are created by hikers and their names are copyright-free, I believe.
Best regards.
Enjoy your hikes on Visorando.

Hello, I did this hike three times in a row at the beginning of a rainy February. The advantage of this hike is that the path is stony, so it doesn't get muddy at all in rainy weather. You come back with clean shoes!
The only downside is that there are no signs indicating that this path is called the Chemin des Pâtis .

Excellent, this is my usual route when the children are at football in St-André (with the option of doing the route twice).

A pleasant walk in the countryside. Recommended for families, even with pushchairs, as the roadsides (not very busy, didn't see a single car) are wide and flat.

I would like to add a small variation:
At the start, there is a path on the left-hand side of the road, which you take until you reach the bridge.
Cross the bridge and continue to the road.
Turn right and cross the bridge.
After the bridge, turn right, then go under the dual carriageway and you will find yourself back on the route.

It's more of a heart route...
Very good!
