A short walk around Bény with no particular difficulties.
Be careful in the Bois de Marmont, as the path running parallel to the motorway can be muddy.

No street name given for the motorway crossing in the description. Otherwise, not much to see, short walk to explore the village (beautiful church).

A pleasant, easy route. Close to the motorway, you can hear it but you can't see it.

A pleasant walk around BENY. In this rainy weather, we appreciated the clean, quiet road. There was little elevation change and the route met our expectations.
