Chemin de la Grande Muraille

For several months now, I have been unable to record routes without straight lines, even though the battery is positioned without restriction. I don't know what else to do, so please help me solve this problem.
Kind regards

Done on 6 March 2025; to avoid the asphalt, we started from the cemetery car park, walked alongside the stadium and cut across a field towards Font Vieille. Then we took a small footpath that leads to the castle square and resumed the normal route. On the way back, at the wash houses, we descended via the wash house path that leads to the bottom of the village and back to the car park. 9.5 km in total.

Too bad about the road section
Otherwise, it's quite nice

Far too much tarmac road; only the beautiful weather saved the day.
No interest whatsoever.

Unfortunately, many sections are on tarmac roads.
On the other hand, the trail section is very pleasant.

I completely agree with your analysis of the route.

There is nothing of interest on this route, except between points 4 and 5, on a pleasant unpaved path filled with birdsong (it's springtime!).
Otherwise, the route is paved throughout, and you just walk past uninteresting detached houses. Not to mention all the dogs charged with "protecting" them, who can't help but bark as you pass by.
This part of the municipality is being haphazardly developed (thanks, council!), the whole landscape is being destroyed by bulldozers, and the heterogeneity of the houses being built there really does not enhance the area. Everything is gradually being concreted over, and the access roads to the houses (concreted or under construction) are cutting the landscape to shreds. Hello urban sprawl (= uncontrolled urban expansion, construction of housing in rural or peri-urban areas)!
On the quiet little road back, everything has just been subdivided or is under construction; the whole area is a building site.
A place to avoid.

An easy hike, suitable for almost everyone. Pleasant because you don't encounter many people. The surprise comes from the number of houses (some more beautiful than others, cluttered with wreckage or not) scattered across the hills.

Very good family route. The only drawbacks:
The tarmac road does not end at "4" but 400 metres further on.
From "5" to "6", we were treated to a concert of dogs barking at us as we passed by,
which was very unpleasant when you're enjoying such a peaceful environment.
Of the 8.43 km of the route, 7 km are on tarmac. A shame.

A very pleasant and easy parish specific to Brittany walk through residential areas and small woods, on dirt or tarmac paths, with virtually no elevation gain.

A walk after two months of lockdown, 8 km of almost flat terrain – perfect (we're not particularly sporty and we're not young anymore).
The starting village of Néoules is very pretty.
The walk then continues along very passable roads and paths. It's rural and pretty; you don't really venture into the wilderness, but it's peaceful.
The route description is perfect, with clear directions when and where you need them, so it's impossible to get lost.

A short, easy hike to stretch your legs or for days when the trails are impassable.
No problem with signposting as I tracked the hike in real time on my iPhone using the Visorando app.

Hello,

the lack of markings,

Indeed, with Visorando, we often venture off the beaten track, so there are no markings

This disadvantage is largely offset by a good description.

That's the advantage of Visorando.

See you soon

The only difficulty with this hike/walk is the lack of markings, but this is more than compensated for by a good description. It is an ideal outing after rainy weather, as it avoids muddy sections.
A pleasant hike in spring, with lots of birdsong and flowers.

Thank you, lapinmalin
I'm glad you were able to take that little trip last Sunday!
...many sections of which are indeed on asphalted communal roads.
