There are no markings on the path that runs through the fields, so we ended up back on the path we’d taken on the way there and didn’t complete the circular loop

A route that alternates between varied landscapes and pretty villages. With the exception of the section between points 6 and 7, which is less interesting and less varied, it is a pleasant and fairly easy walk.

I only did the western section (2-3-4-5-6), looping back to 2 using the route (4-3-2) from the “Gueux and Janvry Circular Walk.” This walk (which I did a few days earlier) is almost identical to the eastern section of this one. I parked in front of the church in Janvry. (Route approx. 6.5 km).
I hesitated at times, but thanks to the map I always found the right path.
The scenery is varied, alternating between villages, woods, fields and vineyards.
