A completely uninteresting route.
We did it in January, though, in the sunshine. Yes, there’s mud, and not much shade if you want to do it in summer...but that isn’t the main problem. This route runs alongside large fields, with very little vegetation (we were supposed to go through a small wood, but unfortunately half of it was recently cut down) and so few or no birds (a few crows...) or other wildlife. Also, a large part of it involves a walk through the village... so it’s on tarmac.
This route is a running route (a 10km circular route) for those looking to get some exercise... but certainly not for a leisurely stroll.

A lovely route, though it’s a shame it isn’t signposted. We did it during this rainy spell and some sections are very muddy.
Worth doing again in dry weather, but be careful not to do it during a heatwave either!!! Very little shade

A lovely walk
Not to be done in winter because of the mud, and in summer: not enough shade
These chapels are interesting and the scenery is beautiful

It’s a shame it hasn’t been signposted yet!
We got a bit lost, but it wasn’t a big deal as we found our way back at La Croisette.
Beautiful countryside scenery
