A beautiful hike that is easy to follow with your phone's geolocation. The villages you pass through are very pretty. Only a few sections are slippery and muddy at this time of year, particularly when crossing paths at the edge of fields.

I have combined this hike with the one called "Boucle de Frouville" (Frouville Circular), as they both pass through Frouville.
Wide paths through fields and few shaded areas.
The coolness of the Menouville wash house is pleasant on this hot day.
