This route is regularly signposted along the entire route. It is marked with the number 73. It was mapped out and signposted by members of the association "À chacun son chemin en Puisaye-Forterre" (To each their own path in Puisaye-Forterre). The signs indicate 12.5 km, but following the removal of a paved section, the route is now 13.5 km long.
If you have any concerns, please fill in this questionnaire (it only takes 1 to 2 minutes).
Please take care when crossing roads.
However, as the route is signposted, you should at least set off with this description and the accompanying IGN map or the Visorando app.
