A beautiful route despite the heat, with stunning views. The uninteresting section through the town is quickly forgotten by the end of the route, which is truly beautiful

thank you for your kind comments. I did this route before GPS was available and when the Belbriette pond still existed. Enjoy your walks!

Thanks to the author for this beautiful, easy route, mostly through a magnificent forest that sheltered me from the rain

Some useful information to help you enjoy the walk:

• From points 1 to 3, do not rely on the GPS track, which is more than 100 m off to the west: the Gorge des Roitelets actually starts just opposite a hydraulic structure ("les Vannes" on the map). According to a sign at the entrance, this path is dangerous in winter.
• At point 3, there is no need to go back up the D8; just follow the green rectangle and cross it at a right angle to join the GR opposite, at the top of a small staircase.
• There is no Belbriette pond, but there is a peat bog, which can be seen through a gap in the vegetation where a beautiful information panel has been installed. This is where you should turn back to return to point 13.
• For the return journey, rather than walking along the D67a, which is very busy in summer, I preferred to follow the cycle path that branches off to the north and joins a very pleasant route for cyclists and pedestrians, which runs alongside the Vologne river and then winds its way between the houses to rejoin the circuit at the church. This alternative route extends the walk slightly (18.6 km according to GPS).

A beautiful route accessible via two paths, one suitable for pushchairs and the other steeper but more attractive and scenic. Maximum duration: 1 hour return

I hiked in the opposite direction, the GPS route was sometimes approximate, there was far too much tarmac and above all too many passages on the roads. It's rare to be so disappointed by a Visorando tour.
I'd advise against it

A superb walk, very well explained and very easy to follow, with some magnificent spots and sublime views.
Only one technical section at the beginning.
Thank you!!!

Hello,
you are the first not to have found the starting point, which is a shame as it is the prettiest part of the route.this circuit was made many years ago, there was no GPS, it is possible that some signs are no longer visible.other hikers are luckier than you and have found it very correct.cordialement daniel ROGER__

The start of the route wasn't quite right, so we had to find our own way around.
Only one of the 3 viewpoints was there, and the others were dead ends.
Just under half the walk was on concrete, which was very unpleasant.
