Étang la Dame as seen from the Domaine de la Patte d’Oie

A route that crosses farmland before entering the forest and skirting several ponds. There are lovely stretches through a magnificent beech forest, near Étang la Dame, one of the most beautiful ponds in the area. Half the route is on footpaths and half on a small tarmac-surfaced local road; the route presents no difficulty.
