Very pretty, very shady route; easy-to-follow loop;
it's a shame that you can hear the motorway during part of the walk
and that you walk alongside the motorway for 500 metres.

An ideal walk in hot weather as it runs alongside the River Fure.
There is a stretch along the motorway which is not very pleasant, but it is not long.

A pleasant walk along the Fure, relatively flat. Perfect for children and often shaded, which I imagine makes it an ideal route for summer.

A lovely walk, more than a hike. Very pleasant, with the Fure river allowing my dog to play and cool off
Easy, and not many people there that day (on a weekday)
Took less time than indicated

More of a stroll than a hike in a valley along the banks of the Fure. A wide path lined with beautiful trees. A wild valley where the only sounds are birdsong, even though you are in the middle of a city.

Hello, after the poype, take the road on the right and you will come to a small dirt track alongside a large property wall. Follow it to the top, where you will come to a gate leading to some houses. Follow the road to the right, then another track after another gate, and you will arrive at the viewpoint, which is 10 metres from your destination. It's easy with the app.
But your alternative route is also fine
See you soon on the road!

Is it because the indicated path no longer exists (?) but once we arrived at a very pleasant spot called La Poype, it was impossible to follow the directions given. In the end, we followed a road that goes uphill (rather than a path that goes uphill) and found ourselves on a short stretch of road between the motorway and walnut fields! 😢 Once we had gone around the walnut trees, the path was very pleasant again, with yellow signs to guide us. Apart from this mediocre stretch, it was a beautiful, easy walk that anyone can enjoy.

A lovely Sunday morning stroll in pleasant woodland surroundings along the River Fure.
Highly recommended for children as it is very easy, with no steep slopes or difficult ascents or descents!
Thank you for this lovely loop

We did this hike today, but after the Fure Bridge we couldn't find the sign for La Poype. We asked around, but no one could give us any information, so we had to come back the same way. It's a shame we couldn't complete the loop. There are a lot of unnamed Y-junctions after the Fure Bridge. We ended up on the road with a garage and didn't know where to go next
if I could have an explanation for this, I would appreciate it
otherwise, it was very pleasant: easy to walk and very beautiful scenery

a very pleasant walk on 12 March. The woods are still very bright at this time of year. Magnificent play of light and shadow on the Fure river to contemplate while listening to the birds singing.
