A very pleasant forest that was quiet when we were there, with lots of different species of trees and flowers. However, the route could do with some tweaking; it’s really rather rough – although if you follow the map itself, it’s not difficult to follow it roughly.

This is my first official hike, and I'm very happy to have started with this route.

Very quiet and very pretty, this place is perfect for rookies like me in this environment.

At a moderate pace, you can finish in less than 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I recommend it, despite a few inconsistencies along the way. Unfortunately, some parts of the forest are uneven, but nothing alarming!

Thanks again.

Very little traffic. The spreading work is disastrous: ruts and various branches strewn across the road for a good kilometre.

A lovely hilly route, surrounded at times by thousands of daffodils, with a rather unpleasant, fairly long muddy section. On the way back to point 1, I took the more pleasant winding path on the left. I didn't find the right armoury in the photo, just one lying on the ground. Overall, a lovely route.

The MONT ALTA POSTM is incorrectly positioned on the IGN map and on the hiking map background: it is located at the next crossroads, at altitude 138.
On the way back, at the Aumont crossroads (altitude 127), take the path on the left, which runs alongside the old Aumont quarry (sand) and leads to the car park at the starting point.

There are few people when it rains.
Part of the path is used by horses, which makes it very muddy.

Forest very poorly maintained, paths disappeared under piles of dead wood. Difficult to follow the GPS track.

The numbers do not always correspond on the map. Otherwise, it is a pleasant but busy hike.

Description is very approximate and sometimes inconsistent with the map provided.
A section of the map has physically disappeared and cannot be found. One wonders whether the map is actually based on an authentic GPS track or was drawn up retrospectively...
That said, it's a beautiful walk... saved by the use of a GPS!
Only one boundary stone with a coat of arms seen...

The specific interest of the hike lies in the armoured stones. The description mentions four or five of them. Personally, we only saw one, the one mentioned in the description. But the walk is still very pleasant, shaded, easy and well described. Thank you.

Thank you for pointing that out. I will clarify it in the description.

Please note: you should not depart from the main car park in Aumont (next to the church) but from the ONF car park (at the end of the village).

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion.

It's a shame, but we had trouble finding our way around the map during this walk.

Finding your way in the forest isn't easy because it's difficult to match the map to the terrain. In this specific case, I recommend using the GPS app in addition to the description and map.

The aim is not to be glued to your smartphone, but to have a tool that allows you to validate waypoints and thus remove any doubts about your location.

See you soon!
