A pleasant hike.
We just missed point no. 9 (we continued straight on until we left the woods) , but after turning back we found the GRP again.
Beautiful views.

A beautiful hike along the ridges of the lovely hills of the Pays d'Othe. Not too much forest, so there are beautiful views and vistas. Note that this walk can easily be completed in 2½ hours.

Good evening,

Be careful during hunting season, as the hike passes through woods where hunting takes place.

We left Vauchassis and headed towards Bercenay, as it was closer to where we live.
Nice hike.

Three wrong turns.
The journey takes a maximum of 2 hours and 45 minutes.

At the crossroads, turn left (instead of right) to go back up towards La Halte, following the red and white markings of the Pays d'Othe GRP. At the Halte (instead of Halte), turn right (instead of left) onto the path along the woods until the second fork, then turn left and continue straight ahead to return to the GRP. Follow it until it joins the yellow and white marked trail (PR Tour de Bercenay en Othe).
At the junction, turn right (instead of left)...
