A lovely route through the Gros Chêne forest.
The starting point is the same as for many other walks. We took a wrong turn at the start at a crossroads but quickly got back on the original route.
A pleasant walk; the path is very easy to navigate with a pushchair (provided it has good wheels, mind you!).
Depending on the season, you can see the greenery coming through as winter gives way to spring. It’s very beautiful and peaceful.
