A very pretty route, fairly short, idyllic, with fields, woods, pretty well-maintained bridges to cross the fords, and overall an excellent app for walking! To be continued.

A lovely little walk with a beautiful view of Meslay Castle, which is definitely worth a visit. A very easy route with some lovely stretches along the Réveillon. There aren’t many cultivated fields, but there are some beautiful meadows surrounded by hedgerows that sometimes remind us of Normandy. Highly recommended. 😍
