The only slight difficulty is the climb at the end before Nus
Picnic tables in Luriecq in the sunshine
Please note: after Nus, the car park on the left is private property.
It is safer to park your vehicle at the carpooling area near the Nus bus shelter in the hamlet.
From there, descend to the railway line.

A beautiful hike in the foothills of the Forez mountains. The route, advertised as taking 3 hours and 10 minutes, can be completed by an average walker in just over 2 hours. Correction regarding the elevation gain: it is 216 metres to be precise.

An interesting route along the old railway line. The circular route could be extended to St Bonnet.

Hello,

An easy and pleasant walk.
However, the meeting point indicated (at the bottom of the descent, after Nus) is actually point 2, not the start/finish point.
This makes for a shorter circular route, or else you have to do a second, not very interesting circular route to get to Nus.

Hello,
An interesting course without any major difficulties.
Clear comments that correspond 90% to the reality on the ground.
The only slight issue is that there is no longer a path running parallel to the main road at the end of the route, which means you have to cross the main road, follow part of the path you took on the way there, then turn left to cross the main road again and rejoin the path described.

Thank you, Berniz.
I have repositioned the starting point to the correct location (it was in the middle of the fields) and, as you suggested, added a small clarification to the description (after a steep descent).

The car park is located after the village, following a steep descent.
That was the hardest part for us to find, but after that it was fine.

Thank you, paspetillants
There does indeed seem to be a problem with the starting point, which is in the middle of a field. I hope the author will be able to tell us more.

The car park provided at the start is private, so you will need to find somewhere else to park, especially if there are several of you travelling together.

After point (3), we went through a tunnel and did not turn off the D498.
At point (4), at the top of the hill, the word is not well chosen, but luckily we had the map.
At point (6) it says "at the cross". We didn't see any cross???
A very nice walk on a sunny day, to be repeated...
Thank you.
