The whole of the first section through the fields is monotonous and in full sun; the return journey is much more pleasant, following the Burgundy Canal, then the Brenne Canal, and finally the Nid à la Caille lake.
Best avoided in the summer heat.

By ‘map alignment’, we mean assessing how closely the alignment shown on the map matches the actual terrain.

This route has been redeveloped and made safer. It allows you to bypass the Douix river and walk through a pleasant boxwood forest before reaching the village of Darcey and then the cave. It is not listed on IGN maps, which is why I used the Visorando app to track my route and highlight it.
