This route is lovely because it’s so varied: streams, little bridges, narrow paths through the countryside, very peaceful, with a few quiet roads.
Please note that the car park is small. We followed the yellow markings as closely as possible and the printed route to some extent. I think some areas have been damaged by this winter’s floods and a few fallen trees haven’t been cleared away. Unless we made a mistake, but we passed through a difficult stretch with rocks and a bit of water (perhaps a river in winter or damaged by the floods…). There’s a viewpoint and a picnic table at the Refuge de la Colle.
I recommend this hike.

A really enjoyable hike.
The path was covered in muddy patches that had turned into small streams, but it was still passable.
I enjoyed it very much because there was a trail along almost the entire route.
We'll do it again in the spring. I think it must be splendid with the flowers and leaves coming out.

A very beautiful hike. Rather than following the GPX route, we relied on the markings (red and white lines, I think) and had no trouble at all!
The walk is perfectly suitable for dogs (although we were surrounded by hunters during our walk). We let our dog off the leash for most of the hike without any worries.
The hike is really worth it, it's sublime.

There are many inaccuracies in the description, which is a shame as it is a beautiful hike.
In the description, there are several instances where "path" is used instead of "road" and "road" is used instead of "path".
It also says "turn right off the path" instead of "turn right at the crossroads".
"Cross a village" is not specific, as it depends on the direction taken: without changing direction, with a change of direction to the right, to the left, etc.
It is indicated that you join the GR33, but it is not indicated when you leave it.
The references to the yellow markings are inconsistent: either these markings are mentioned, and when you follow them, this is stated, as is the case when you leave them. Or they are not mentioned at all in order to focus attention on the description.

A pleasant stroll through a tree-lined park, accompanied by birdsong.
