A pleasant, easy and varied walk with no significant elevation gain; currently of interest for its flora and birdsong.
Given the current wet weather, some sections of the path are muddy with no alternative route: make sure your shoes are waterproof if necessary.
There are a few sections of road after Lalande and, unfortunately, particularly from the 14-kilometre mark to the finish.

A walk that can be done in winter provided it isn’t too damp, as there is little shade but plenty of small tarmac roads
The highlight is the section at the Sepfonds Jewish camp, where information boards recount the entire history of the camp
