Path through the planted field in Venansault

Path starting from the Îlot des Arts. The route is largely shaded. You will follow a path that seems timeless; the origins of this route are certainly very ancient. A special feature of this route is the tranquillity and the feeling of being in a wild place amidst areas shaped by human activity.
