Hello,
A pleasant route with plenty of shade overall. It's a shame that the walk ends on a fairly dangerous road when there is a good path that avoids it and leads to the wash house, which is already marked on the website.
When you reach the main road between points 7 and 8, instead of taking the road on the right, turn left and follow the road for 20 metres, then turn onto the path on the right. Go down to the stream and follow it on the right. This will take you to the road opposite the wash house. Cross the road and take the small road on the left above the wash house.

Pleasant and well signposted. Ideal when it's hot because it's very wooded.

Mainly forest routes and very few roads, very pleasant.

A lovely hike with no difficulty, but you need to pay attention to the markings, which are sometimes a little far away or off the path.
As other comments have mentioned, the start is not very well marked, so you need to start with your back to the sign.
To avoid the last part on the road, we followed the small stream that winds its way downhill (marked in blue).

A lovely walk through the forest with beautiful paths and avenues. Easy to follow signposting. Beautiful discoveries of the church and the lantern.
It's a shame that the mill and its outbuildings are abandoned and that the communal wash house is not well maintained

No difficulty on the route, no elevation gain, very passable paths, trail through pine forests, between farms and clearings
Very pleasant route
Encounter with hunters, very friendly exchanges with mutual respect...

A very pretty route, entirely through woodland and natural areas. Very little tarmac and wide, well-maintained paths, with easy-to-follow signposting, except (perhaps) at the start, where the indicated location is behind the town hall.
Beautiful architecture along the way (churches, mills, manor houses) and beautiful farm buildings, too often appearing abandoned or neglected.
Encounters with numerous hunters along the way, a greeting, a few words exchanged and no problems sharing the space.

Wonderful walks in the forest and hamlets.
A little hesitation at the start about which path to take to get to the church, then relative direction of the path, so more hesitation with the mix of crosses at the intersections. A little apprehension too when arriving near the farms and hamlets and hearing the dogs, but they are all tied up.
I highly recommend this well-marked hike.

Great hike. I just have one small criticism about the description of the starting point: it says to start at the end of the square, turning right... except that a square has two ends, and you end up taking the wrong street (which still leads to the church, though). I would clearly indicate to start from the town hall, going up Rue du Val.
