A very beautiful walk, easy because it is flat all the way, both rural with small towns and villages, and countryside as you pass through woods, forests and plains, and also an ENS area, a sensitive natural area, an old gravel pit I think... In short, relaxation and dreams, while doing yourself some good for very little money!

We were a little disappointed by this hike, at least in the first part of the route, because we didn't really follow the Loir River. After the Pezou bridge, the route became much more enjoyable.

An easy, unpretentious hike.
More beautiful in its second part, where you walk along the Loir river.

Just one comment on point 2: "You can see the tunnel"; in fact, you can see the viaduct.
