Marked route No. 48.A lovely forest walk on this limestone plateau, although at the start you’ll need to follow a short stretch of minor road to reach the Bois de la Faine and the woods beyond. The forest you’ll be walking through is rich in different tree species, including fine specimens of oak and beech, and is every bit as impressive as the nearby Frétoy Forest.

Departure from Andryes (Yonne)
Marked hike n°62.
This site located in the void diagonal, as some like to say, conceals many assets.
If, with the help of agricultural machinery, the search for productivity was the goal in the middle of the 20th century, it has not led to the expected results. Today, it is towards a restoration of biodiversity that we are moving. The fauna and flora are gradually returning.
Discovering this heritage also helps to educate children.
Superb educational walk!
