A pleasant short walk with a slight difficulty at the beginning. There are virtually no signposts, so take a map or use GPS. Suitable for children.
Takes about 1 hour 20/30 minutes with a break for a drink.

This is more of a stroll than a hike.
The few viewpoints are worth seeing, and the route as a whole presents no particular difficulties.
A pleasant route.
Signage is generally poor. As it is a circular route, you have to use your common sense and the app to find your way around. Which is a shame. In addition, the starting point (and therefore the finishing point) lacks basic cleaning (particularly litter collection).
All in all, it's a good Sunday outing to take the children on, without any hassle or special organisation.

Sorry to say that you have to "hang on" to find the right path through a dense network of hunters' trails with no visibility.

1. The starting point is the car park at the top of the road. Pass the restaurant entrance and turn right. Continue straight ahead, crossing the railway line. On your left, you will pass two old lime kilns. There is parking available a little further up. Follow the signs along the route, which we found easy to follow. The picnic area is very well laid out, with particular attention paid to landscaping, including flowers and plants. It is a pleasant walk with a more challenging return.

1. If you park in the restaurant car park and go up to the left and walk along the road, a second walk is available. At the upper car park, take the path furthest to the left, continue to the left and take the path that goes down towards Bize. Cross the village and return to the car via the road.

The blue markings are practically non-existent. We waited more than fifteen minutes before seeing the first one.
In the description, there is an error between points 2 and 3: "continue along the forest path at the top, staying on the path on the LEFT (to be added) as there are two possibilities.
Point 3: take the track opposite that GOES UP (not down) and leave the DOWNWARD track (not upward) on your right.
Otherwise, a very nice walk with lovely views.

A very interesting circular hike that we completed in 8 hours with the PR starting from Agel for a hike of about 11 km.
At point 2, just follow the well-marked path uphill without complicating things!
Please note that there is a small error in the text at point 3: "Take the track opposite that goes downhill, leaving the uphill track on your right. After 150 m, turn onto the track on the left below (ignore the blue cross) and go around the barrier on the left." In fact, at the end of the path after the drystone shelter, take the track on the left for about 150 metres and then turn left again, leaving the blue route on your right which goes uphill, going around the barrier on the left.
In any case, you can see it clearly on the map!

A very pleasant walk, especially when the north wind is blowing, as you are sheltered.
We made a mistake after the panoramic view of Bize, probably because we misread the text.
But we'll keep it in mind to do it again one day.

After point 2, scree and fallen trees made it impossible to see the path. After searching for 30 minutes, we turned back... This hike should be done with a GPS, as the map is insufficient... Or else it needs to be updated with changes due to climate change...

Personally, I think the card is essential.

Part of the path has been affected by rockfalls and fallen trees, making some sections difficult and even dangerous to pass.

Very pleasant walk, beautiful views! But the description needs improving: there is no three-way junction, you just need to continue straight on until (2) you reach the "Aigues-Vives" sign. When you arrive at the drystone shelter, it's not clear which way to go. We found the right path by intuition.
