a very beautiful route alternating between sunken lanes and wooded paths, then opening out onto the Vallières lake. A lovely, peaceful and relatively easy walk

A lovely walk with not much road. The path along the lake is really nice. Be careful, though, as there are quite a few sections with a lot of slush in winter. Very well signposted.
