Notes

Bring a packed lunch and water for the dogs as there is no water on the hills.

Please note, this walk takes you along meadows and fields, so there is little shade: make sure you bring a sun hat and sun cream on sunny days.

Three spots to stop for a break or a picnic. In Grignoncourt, you’ll find the Grandieu family’s orchard, which sells a variety of fruit (depending on the season) and local organic produce!

A lovely walk, though there’s quite a bit of walking along the road to point 2. A beautiful return stretch between points 3 and 5. Watch out for sunburn.

A lovely walk, best avoided in hot weather as there’s no shade; stunning scenery all along the route, with sweeping 360° views, shaded picnic tables at every stone cross, and another at the next crossroads. Roads and dirt tracks.
We had a lovely time that day with partly cloudy skies and a refreshing breeze

Beautiful views. A perfect walk in the autumn sunshine. Although there was a hunt taking place, it wasn’t a problem at all and the hunters were very courteous. On the way back, we were able to stock up on organic apples at Vergers Grandir. We received a very warm welcome.

⚑Departure from Passavant-la-Rochère (Haute-Saône)
From Étang Neuf, a natural area featuring chalets and huts for hikers who have retained their childlike spirit, the route reveals the industrial past of Passavant-la-Rochère as it passes close to six former tile works, three of which were still in operation in the 1950s. However, the advent of cement tiles hastened the closure of the last remaining tile works, causing the village’s population to halve over the same period.

⚑Departure from Claudon (Vosges)
La randonnée débute sur le plateau du Verbamont. Vous traverserez les chênaies puis descendrez dans une première vallée d'un ruisseau sauvage, en saison quelques petites cascades et un paysage de mousses verte. Découverte d'un bel étang à Senennes, puis votre parcours se poursuit surplombant la rivière Ourche toujours sur des petits sentiers forestiers. La majeure partie de cette boucle se fait sur des chemins forestiers, parfois difficiles d'accès, et hors des sentiers.
