A beautiful hike that is more moderate than easy.
The Rocher des Païens rock formation is very impressive.
Worth doing again.

We did the hike with the occasional help of GPS for validation; a few additional markers would be useful in some places. Although we didn't encounter any problems, we think this route should be classified as "moderate" rather than easy due to the relatively steep and long slopes. For people who are not used to hiking, it may be necessary to catch your breath. Of note are the beautiful view at the white rock and the impressive pagan rock. In autumn, you can admire the colours of the foliage, the tracks left by animals and the many varieties of mushrooms.

Quite a bit of elevation gain
Many people do the hike in the opposite direction

the perfect hike to get your legs moving at the end of winter.
what's more, with the trees still bare, the views are magnificent.

a beautiful walk but not that easy, as you say, quite a lot of elevation gain. The route is poorly marked, luckily we had the app on our phone, because the paper map isn't very clear. Otherwise, very beautiful views. Very pleasant

We did the hike following the GPS route, but I would advise against doing the same because we were never on the route and when we tried to follow it, we ended up off the paths and through the forest.
Several times we were not on the right path, and we ended up walking 7 km in total instead of 5.
If I had to do it again, this is not a hike I would do.
I would classify this hike as moderate rather than easy because the first descent is very steep and there is quite a lot of elevation gain. It is not easy for elderly people or those who are not used to hiking.

a beautiful hike that is not too difficult. We did it in bright sunshine, but much of it was in the shade, which was very pleasant. We hiked on a Sunday afternoon during the jazz festival and encountered few people

Hello, you have classified this hike as easy, but I would classify it as moderate, given that the start is near the Château de la Petite Pierre, which is located on a rocky outcrop. There is a fairly steep descent and then a climb up the opposite slope. For older people, it is quite challenging.

The signpost for the castle: it doesn't say "chemin de ronde" (walkway), but "sentier des remparts" (rampart path). Then, once you're in the forest, there are no more signs for the old town.
This hike is described as 'easy', but it's not really: there's a steep descent on slippery ground when it's rained, and a steep climb up to the white rock, from which we couldn't see the view as access is blocked due to the nesting of certain bird species. That's fine, but it's a shame that hikers aren't warned about this beforehand. We would have chosen a different hike

An extremely peaceful route during the week... we only encountered one person. Very easy to follow, the path is very pleasant with its varied terrain, mostly single track, its views, its rocks and the sunshine that accompanied us.
I recommend it!

A very beautiful hike!!! Be careful not to get lost, though; some additional clues would be welcome, even though we were able to follow the planned route by thinking logically! Highly recommended!!

Beautiful scenery, certainly, but the elevation changes are unpleasant: first all downhill, then all uphill, it spoils the fun a bit!
