The only difficulty in finding the route (and mistake) was at the Saint Hubert crossroads in the middle of the Lussac forest.
The clearing and the large gap are misleading, with poor signage...

A pleasant route with a gentle incline, this name comes from Clovis during the battle against Allaric in 507.
Clovis and his men waited for the river to recede so they could ford it, and it was upon seeing a doe that Clovis decided to cross the river where the doe had crossed.

The route has far too much road from the start and also returns to the starting point, too much road.

Well-marked route, the only slight downside is that you have to retrace your steps, which is a shame. Otherwise, the Lussac forest is magnificent and very beautiful at this time of year with all the colours of autumn. Thank you for helping us discover this corner of the Vienne region.

We loved this magnificent walk...
Beautiful forest sections, even if the walk is sometimes a little challenging (quite steep climbs).
The only downside: contrary to what the hike description says, at point 5, the path to take on the right is not marked. You have to take what looks like a dry riverbed (so it's not an easy walk) and a little further on (about 50 metres) there is a reassuring sign (phew!).
We didn't really understand the point of the descent to the Vienne after point 1, as it then requires you (from point 2) to climb back up a tarmac road (not very pleasant) to point 4. It seems to us that you could go directly from point 1 in a straight line along the path on the map, which connects the route between point 3 and point 4. It's just a detail...
