It's more of a walk than a hike and it's quite quick; I did it at a leisurely pace in 55 minutes.

One of the short circular loops I love to do with my dog, alternating between woods, clear paths, sand pits and a small shaded tarmac road to finish... best avoided in wet weather, or bring wellies! Mostly in the shade, with ascents and descents, not accessible to pushchairs.

A very beautiful, easy hike with children in dry weather. It's true that if you do it in wet weather, you'll need boots because there are a lot of ruts at the start of the hike.
However, the trail markings are missing in places and/or unclear. We got lost at one point because of the lack of markings, but it was fine. We turned back and found our way again, but once again the markings were missing.
If this is of any use
Best regards

A pleasant route for a family walk in the forest.
Half of the route is on a concrete path
the other half is on forest tracks, which can be very muddy, especially after rain.

A lovely walk through the woods.
I hesitated at the start about which path to take, and again at a crossroads.
As I couldn't see the sandpit (below), I took the wrong path but quickly realised my mistake.
I missed the junction where I should have turned left and continued along the main path.
When I reached the end, I realised my mistake, but as the map was good quality, I was able to find the right route by cutting across the woods.

We got off to a great start, with a lovely walk and a short detour to find the sandpit, but on the way back, after the tower, at the last crossroads, just before reaching the starting point, we couldn't find any directions, so we took a path on the right as indicated, and ended up looking for the football pitch... in Nogent! We had to take the road back to Berru, which added about 45 minutes to our walk. But it was a beautiful walk nonetheless!

Apologies to all the hikers who had problems with this route. I haven't been back since the work was done, but as soon as the mosquitoes calm down, I'll go back and adjust it.

Damn, for this navigational error... hoping that the roadworks will one day put the paths back in order...
Until then, be careful or download the route into the app so you don't get lost.
Best regards

Well... We got lost! Everything was fine until we reached the sandpit, and then... Ouch!
I think the work in the woods led to the creation of new paths. In short, we didn't take the path to the clearing and the horses, we missed the tower and ended up in the vineyards, then in Nogent.
But the walk in the woods is fantastic!

Hello
Nice hike, the signposting is good, except for one spot where they are cutting down trees and the path is completely ruined, otherwise it's very good.

A real forest walk, but currently impassable due to forestry work!
I would advise against it for the time being, but it has real potential.

The road has been rendered impassable for families with young children after just one kilometre due to huge ruts caused by the lorries belonging to the logging and skidding company currently on site. I do not recommend this route at present. Check back in a few months!
