In my opinion, the walk is not particularly interesting overall. Half of the wooded areas have not been cleared and the bottom of the ravine, for example, is full of nettles and brambles, which makes it very difficult for children to walk through and not particularly pleasant for adults. Trees block the paths at least three times.
The few points of interest (Chapelle Saint-Clément, Croix au Loup, etc.) do not, in my opinion, add to the overall appeal of the walk.

Hello
Nothing to complain about regarding the hike itself.
The problem was the very muddy paths at the end of May!
We came back covered in mud but still happy with the walk!

A very beautiful short hike in the forest
not very busy but with clean paths
and a large car park with easy parking

Hello and thank you for sharing
Dog walking route tracked on GPS
Please note that in early February 2024, forestry work has significantly damaged the path between points 3 and 4, and shortly after that, it is muddy.
In the description, the term "steep" was not an exaggeration!
Alternative route between 7 and 8: after the descent and once on the path, we turned left towards the retirement home. We did not pass in front of this building because we turned right onto a downhill path running along a wall on the left in order to follow a grassy path behind the gardens of the houses on Rue du Général de Gaulle. This leads to the tennis court car park.
Still very nice and varied. Straight line in the forest but allows the dog to sprint within sight.
A walk to be repeated.

We didn't follow the route exactly because we were looking for mushrooms
Then we got back on track

A very pleasant walk, with no difficulty (except for a steep slope after No. 5 between Chapelle St Clément and Croix au Loup, but it's not long...).
I did this hike in December 2019, in rainy weather: be careful at this time of year, as there were hunters in the Graoully forest (between 2 and 3) around midday. I had to make a big detour when I reached the right-hand bend after No. 2, as it was impossible to pass (some hunters I met by chance at their cabin at the bend kindly dissuaded me from continuing, as there was a lot of shooting going on...)

hello,

the route description was too vague. For example, at number 3, we took a path that descended to the left, continuing downhill as indicated in the description.
We crossed and descended through the woods to end up on the path, turning right.
we didn't understand number 4 and returned to the car park.

A lovely, varied walk through wooded countryside. Unfortunately, we missed point 5 (St Clément Chapel) because, in Fond de la Gueule, as we approached St Clément Chapel, at a certain point the narrow path came to an end (or was overgrown) and, 3 metres higher up on the left, there was a passable forest path. This led us to the path that goes to the cemetery (after a detour of 2 km), which wasn't unpleasant.

Many thanks for the map outlines. Very good description of places to visit.

no problems at the start, good directions. Problems then from No. 3 onwards due to unclear descriptions and misplaced signposts; we missed the whole end of the walk from No. 5 onwards and returned to the village to visit the abbey church.
