Description of the walk

(S/F) The car park in the street ahead, turn left in an easterly direction. At the first intersection, turn right onto Impasse du Lunain. Head along the fence to cross the bridge over the Lunain.

(1) After the bridge, take the left path that follows the Lunain and along the river.

(2) At the 3rd bridge, turn left to cross the Lunain. After the bridge, go up the alley to the left. At the first intersection, turn right onto Avenue du General de Gaulle and continue. At the first intersection, turn left on Avenue de la Gare and turn right into Rue Emile Bru.

(3) Take the first road to the left, Rue Creuse. Continue on this path that runs on to a small road and turn right. Cross the hamlet of Géfontaine, continue on the road and at the end, turn left.

(4) After the grove, take the right path. Continue this path down to the D69, Route de Villenouette. Follow this road to the right.

(5) At the first intersection, turn left. Cross the Lunain again, go straight and cross the hamlet of Villenouette. The road climbs a fair amount and when it ends, continue straight on the road.

(6) Take the road on the left then take the first right. At the T-junction at the end of the road, turn right.

(7) At the junction of four roads, continue across the path along the edge of the wood. Continue on the path that again returns to the banks of Lunain.

This is a pleasant little walk with no difficulties and very little traffic.

From point 4 onwards, the paths are not very well maintained and the further you go, the worse they become.
At times, it's better to walk along the edge of the fields, to avoid having vegetation up to mid-calf height or, in places, brambles. After that, it's not insurmountable; I made it through despite everything, and so did my dogs.

There's a small mistake on the route. After point 6, we have to turn off the road onto a dirt track. On the route, this road arrives far too early. The track is 200 to 300 metres further on.

How is the duration of the route calculated? It took us 45 minutes less than indicated, despite the detours due to some little-used passages, which made us think of the "end of the road".
