Nice route

This was my first proper hike after two years of injuries that prevented me from going out, so I was very happy with this route. A good part of it is in the shade of the forest. The first part is in the middle of fields. It's a nice route, even with children, but be careful with your shoes because the stones are sometimes quite large.

As I was on holiday, the aim was to keep fit. It was a pleasant walk, with plenty of shade along much of the route.

A easy route, but not particularly interesting. The first section is on stony ground and runs alongside fields, with little shade. The second section, on the other hand, is more interesting as it passes through a larger wooded area.

One downside, as I mentioned, is that the path runs alongside fields, and we found ourselves facing a field on fire, which forced us to turn back, so do take care during the burning season to avoid any difficulties.

⚑Departure from Ravières (Yonne)
Fairly simple walk, mainly on gravel paths. The third kilometre climbs reasonably, but it is in the forest in the shade. On the plateau the path undulates between the fields. After the Chapelle Sainte-Anne, you leave the plateau via a reasonably steep little asphalt road to reach Ravières again.

A short walk across the plain and through the fields between Avallon and Annay-la-Côte. This route has very few inclines, with just one notable one right at the very end. It mainly follows paths through the fields and takes an old Roman road that is no longer used by vehicles.
