A pleasant hike with lots of variety in the landscape. There are quite a few roads, but they are not very busy
you are often exposed to the sun, so avoid periods of intense heat
in short, a good morning

Hello Jay74, the statue and table are located in the championship. Follow the hedge at the edge of the field and you'll find them in two or three minutes. Have a good day.

A lovely, easily accessible route with relatively varied landscapes. The description is very good overall. Thank you very much!
I just couldn't find the statue of the Virgin Mary and the orientation table at point 7. I came across a cultivated field at the end of the path.

Hike completed after a very rainy week: lots of mud in the forest at the start, but then very passable paths. Very pleasant and varied hike.

There are a few minor inaccuracies in the description.
A pleasant hike passing through three rather charming little villages. Along the way, you'll see castles, churches and wash houses, which can be found in almost every village. Outside these cute villages, you can discover the flora and fauna (which is coming to life at this time of year) as you pass through fields and woods.
