A very good route with magnificent views. It’s ideal in dry weather, as the climbs are steep.
Not recommended in wet weather. Thank you.

This walk offers exceptional views of the Seine Valley and the surrounding area.
We completed it in dry weather.
Given the steep gradient on part of the route, care should be taken when the ground is wet.

Hello,
The hike went well, but the difficulty level described was ‘easy’
yet there were two climbs that were very, very difficult and really took your breath away; the second climb you had to do on all fours,
it’s really very tough.

A lovely walk with stunning views of the Seine
At the very end, you can avoid the final bend (on the road) by following the little path that winds through the cemetery
