A very easy and pleasant walk.
Apart from the pond at the start and Morel Pond, which are actually on the route, you have to look for the others.

A very picturesque and romantic little walk. Unfortunately, at the beginning of June, all but one of the ponds were dry and the mill looked very sad in front of its lake, which had been transformed into a cracked glacis.

Lovely walk in the Bresse bocage; the Morel pond is really very beautiful.

An easy walk, accessible to all.
As we did this walk on a Sunday afternoon, we parked in the Carrefour Market car park.
We walked briskly and completed the walk in just under 2? hours.
In terms of interest, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Compared to the distance covered, there weren't many "wild" passages. (Oh yes, 3 roe deer!!) A few old farms and 1 or 2 Saracen chimneys.

Nice walk for the start of the season, unfortunately for a Wednesday I didn't expect to come across any hunters who had their guns out, so we had to turn back to avoid risking our lives to be done again in different conditions.

A nice little walk around some beautiful ponds, in particular a large one that must be called "Morel" where there are quite a few birds.

Very pleasant, follow the map and all goes well, few changes in altitude, accessible to all.

The beginning is a little monotonous. Then the forest sections make the walk more pleasant. Finally, the Moret pond is very pretty and the old mill was home to kingfishers on the day we passed.
An easy walk, but it could be used as part of a mountain bike trail.

I think there's a discrepancy between the difference in altitude indicated on the site: +229-269 and the actual difference indicated in your document. In any case, your site is great: we've tested it several times. We're going to use it for a week at the end of August in the Jura. We're looking for routes with very low gradients: we're just over 80 !!!!!! Many thanks for your excellent work. Best regards Xavier

We did this walk in very hot weather, with a few passages in the woods.
Which were welcome.
No difficulty the ten kms are done very well, follow the plant and explanations.
Do not take too much account of the markings on the ground.

We set off as a family with the map and the directions. The children listened to the directions and observed the landmarks. We got back to the starting point in 3 hours, which was the main thing. Twice we found ourselves on a track with no path, so we turned around to find the right path. It didn't take very long and we soon found where we'd gone wrong. It's a shame the weather didn't cooperate. The weather was so nice that I wanted to go walking and visit Romenay, but I didn't think about the weather at all, it rained on the way, we were soaked, and the paths were muddy but that didn't stop us from going ahead, none of us got sick. We'll do it again when the weather's better. The corners are so pretty.

It was a very pleasant walk in very hot weather, but fortunately we passed through several shady woods.
There were no difficulties with the terrain, and we swallowed the 10 km of the route without realising it.

We would, however, advise you to take your hiking GPS with the GPS track for greater safety, as there is plenty of room for hesitation on the paths to follow with the sketchy signs, and therefore the possibility of getting lost.
If you check with the gpx track, however, it becomes clearer.

This is an interesting route through varied landscapes (ponds, forests, cornfields, hamlets) and complements well the official Romenay Tourist Office circuits.

Thank you for this discovery!

Good country walk.
Didn't see a sign indicating the "fitness trail" at the start.
And we got a bit lost on the way back through the woods, which meant that we came back a bit earlier on the outward route.
Very greasy ground at this time of year.
Thanks for your website.

Congratulations on your first solo hike, and for your repeated insistence on getting back on track. All the best.
