The route is mainly through woodland and is very pleasant. We would almost suggest doing it in the opposite direction to the description, as the last kilometre is uphill on the road with greater exposure to the sun.
Thank you for the walk.

It's a very nice area, but we couldn't find the start of the hike, the hunting car park. The GPS coordinates listed on the information sheet took us to private property.
We still had a lovely walk starting from Béceleuf.

A very pleasant hike, even in the rain, but we couldn't find the car park at the start and ended up parking in the hamlet of Le Plet.
At the end of the route, we had to walk back up the road, which wasn't very pleasant.

BUCOLIC! A very beautiful hike, best done in spring: running water, flowering meadows, hills covered with tall trees, delightful sunken paths.
This applies to the sections along the Saumort and Autize rivers, but the loop along the road is completely uninteresting: we preferred to go there and back to avoid it.
Hurry up and go!

Hello,
We really enjoyed this hike because of its vegetation, its beautiful little footbridges, and its beautiful landscapes.
However, we did have a few minor problems finding our way. Between the start (D) and point 1, you should not go down to the river... but on the descent, quickly take the second path on the right (which was not very passable, even in good weather).
We didn't see what "Le Roc Cervelle" is.
When you reach point 3 and come to a road, it's not very clear whether it's the D126 you need to follow or whether you should continue on the GR. I think it should be specified that the first road is indeed the D126.
There you go, I hope this little bit of information will help other hikers...

We saw two hunting car parks: one on the D 126, the other at the actual starting point.

It might be better to write:

Departure from the hunting car park, in the bend, after crossing Le Plet (municipality of Béceleuf) and leaving the Bel Air road on the left.

A very beautiful hike; 1 hour in total (which was what we expected); slightly difficult at the start as you go down a path inside a stream; as it had rained the week before, you had to jump from stone to stone in places to avoid getting your feet wet...Other than that, the terrain is hilly, dotted with streams and footbridges, as the name suggests, with some wooded areas; it's a shame that the path is accessible to motorised vehicles, which leave deep, muddy ruts. The end is a little less interesting as you walk along a country road, but it's only for 10 minutes;
We didn't have any cameras or mobile phones with us, which was a shame because the photos would undoubtedly have been very beautiful.
