Route that’s manageable even with a walking stick, taking it at your own pace; we spotted a deer; we came back along the water’s edge, with plenty of flowers and a sense of peace and quiet.

We thought the walk back along the towpath was more enjoyable and more scenic.

A short, very easy walk that’s suitable for children. There’s no risk of getting lost: all the paths along the route are at right angles to one another. The start of the GR at point 1 isn’t signposted, but it’s fairly straightforward: there’s no doubt about which way to go.
It’s best to go in the dry season, as we found quite a bit of mud left by tractors on the paths. In summer, given that there are few sections in the forest, bring a hat if it’s hot.
The scenery isn’t spectacular, but that’s just the nature of the region, and it has its charm all the same.
