The trail was very poorly marked, if at all. At one point, we followed red and white markings that turned out to be for the 14 km Peyrelevade hike. Even at the bottom of Mont Audouze, there is a wooden post with the watershed symbol, but no indication of Mont Audouze... Strange!
Luckily, there were written directions and some comments from other hikers.
We did it for sentimental reasons, as Audouze is my husband's great-grandmother's surname.

At Mont Audouze, there is a small sign missing in the bend to indicate the orientation table.
Apparently, since 2021, there is no longer a path on the way back after climbing Mont Audouze (second point 2, the path in the woods has disappeared). Fortunately, in the previous comments, someone had indicated that you had to return via the main road to a path that leads directly to point 5. After that, everything was OK and quite nice.

At No. 7, in the village of Chassaing, take the Vieilles Maisons road as there is no path after the water reservoir (No. 8), especially in June when the vegetation is very dense!

From point 8 (water tower), there are barriers to cross and cornfields. Difficult for my daughter. It seems easier to me to go from the village of Chassaing to "Vieille Maison" via the D174 and take the path on the left to reach point 9.

Hello
We did this route on Saturday and half of it was covered in snow
We did part of this route on the road and the end is not well signposted
Otherwise, it was a good walk, but the scenery was average.

Once you reach point 3 without any problems
then back to point 2, do not enter the woods. There is no longer a path
It is strongly recommended that you return via the main road to the path that leads directly to point 5.
This hike must be redocumented
From point 5 onwards, everything is fine.

Eight-day route extended to include a visit to the source of the Vienne river. Any ideas for possible extensions?

Hello,

Very beautiful trails and magnificent panoramas, but some long (too long!) connecting routes on roads or wide, uninteresting gravel paths make this hike almost disappointing.
No signposting (=> smartphone + GPS essential)
Thank you for the information sheet.

A varied route, but with a few difficulties in terms of the layout, unclear around the military site, no path between points 3 and 5 (we had to cut through the woods) to find the path again, and then lots of cuts and unclear explanations. We took a nice little detour before returning to the original path. Apart from these minor setbacks, it was a very nice hike, very pleasant, varied, with a beautiful view from Mont Audouze.

To be amended at (1) after approximately 200 metres, take a path on the left; this path is on the right.
Beautiful view of Mount Audouze.

Very pretty route through the woods between 1 and 2.
Lovely view at the Audouze sign.
Between 3 and 5, where it is marked "indicative route" (represented by long straight lines!!), there is a lot of vegetation and fallen trees, no trace of a path or even a trail: we preferred to follow the road to reach point 5, not wanting to fight our way through the tall grass and bushes.
Especially since a little further on, we came across a pretty viper.

Apart from that, we didn't meet any other hikers except at the end, after the pretty fountain.
