A very pleasant walk, with water features (ditches, wash house) where my dog enjoyed splashing around. Be careful, the end of the walk is just tarmac, with few people around, but sometimes cars can drive fast... It's a shame about the end (and, like others before me, I couldn't find the fitness trail either), but that doesn't detract from the fact that the rest was very pleasant!

A lovely walk between two pleasant villages to pass through. Bourg le Roi is a picturesque village. The signage
clear and unambiguous. The only downside was that we missed the entrance to the fitness trail, either because we weren't paying attention or because
poor signage? It was a lovely afternoon immersed in nature.

A pleasant walk between farmland and forest. Some beautiful, well-restored houses. A bit too much tarmac. I'm still looking for the "rare architectural heritage" mentioned in the description!

A breath of fresh air before returning to lockdown in the Yvelines. A very pleasant walk, with no difficulty. Reliable signposting. Just one comment: we couldn't find the sign for the 8-shaped fitness trail, but the route on the app showed no deviation. There is still a bit of mud on some sections, so it's best to wear sturdy footwear. Several nice spots for a picnic or snack.

A beautiful hike, with opportunities to discover the flora and fauna. Very well marked by signposts, which I would say are more fuchsia than pink, apart from a hesitant start.
