A very beautiful hike, without any difficulties.
Be careful when crossing the bog, which can be slippery when wet or frozen.

Interesting – the barriers are easy to get through, though it can sometimes be tricky to find the right way (crossing meadows)

I only did part of the walk, which was lovely, especially in such glorious weather.
Between points 1 and 2, the ‘postman’s’ path has been filled in with large stones, which are hard on the ankles.
Unfortunately, the road leading to Les Fontenelles, Puits du Glaçon and La Lavogne is entirely tarmac and is particularly long and uninteresting.
From La Lavogne, we opted for an alternative route, taking the path through the forest towards Bonnétage; then, on leaving the forest, we turned right onto a road running alongside two cemeteries to cross the D437 and continue straight on along the D41. Very soon we took a path on the right leading to a pasture and running alongside some houses (La Pâture aux Brebis). Then we headed towards Longe Seigne and, at the very top of the village, we found a path leading either directly to the mill pond, or via the ridges to the start of the peat bog trail and back.

A very easy and pleasant walk, alternating between shade and sunshine.
As recommended by “Iguyard”, we followed the yellow-and-blue markings, which were clearly visible throughout the route.
From (1) to the start of the postman’s trail (2), it’s very muddy following the storms of the previous days and due to deep ruts. Otherwise, the trails are superb.

A pleasant walk, but be careful as the signposting can be a bit sparse in places. Always follow the yellow and blue markings.
Crossing the field after point 2 can be confusing.

A lovely walk in glorious weather
We set off from Frambouans Town Hall, heading towards Seigne Grosjean, to avoid the return trip via Etang du Moulin.
The route is very well signposted, but at point 2 (“turn right onto the postman’s path”), this section is signposted with gates to pass through. Be careful: a sign indicating to turn right is misleading as it is placed too early, causing us to cross two barbed-wire fences unnecessarily.
Ignore this sign and continue along the edge of the meadow. At the edge of the forest, there is a gap in the fence.

A lovely walk through woods and meadows. You need to keep a close eye on the map, as there are a few sections – particularly after Frambouhans – where it can sometimes be tricky to know which way to go.
But overall, it’s a very pleasant setting. There’s just one slightly steep section around the 3-kilometre mark, but it doesn’t last very long, and after that the route is mainly flat or gently uphill.
