Luckily I can follow with the guidance system. They should put up signs for people without phones, but it's a nice walk.

The route description isn't always very clear, especially when you get to Messey.
But it’s a lovely walk.

Too many stretches on busy roads > disappointing in this respect and not recommended for families with children.
I had the IGN map and unfortunately there was no way to avoid this section.
Otherwise, there’s a spot for a picnic by the banks of the Grosne, in the shade. That’s the only nice thing about it.

Done in sweltering heat… not recommended – no shade and the Grosne isn’t at its best. In the meadows, the grass is completely scorched and the Charolais cows look dejected.
A tip for the route planner... twice when you reach a junction... “follow the path”... I would have preferred “turn right or left” – that seems clearer to me... Anyway, I’m grateful to my satnav.

Well, it's flat, an easy 10 km, especially with children who aren't keen on walking

A nice circular loop, particularly the section along the Grosne.
The road section over the last 3 kilometres (roughly 1 kilometre) isn’t great, with 200 metres being a bit dodgy in terms of safety, even though there’s very little traffic.

A pleasant walk, shorter than stated in the description. The final section, which follows the main road, is uninteresting and even dangerous – what a shame!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback,

We couldn’t find the crossroads and the place called Verchere straight away

1. The crossroads is 500 m after the start (A/D) (see IGN map, 50 m zoom)
2. The hamlet of La Verchère is 900 m from the start (A/D) (see IGN map, 50m zoom)

The route description wasn’t precise enough for us.

Is it a lack of practice in reading and following a route description, or perhaps in reading a map or matching the map to the terrain?

In this specific case, it is advisable, in addition to the route description and the route map, to use the GPS app.

This tool, offered free of charge by Visorando, allows you to check waypoints and thus resolve any doubts regarding navigation.

But hey, we covered 10km and had a good breath of fresh air!

That’s what matters most.

See you soon

We couldn’t find the crossroads or the hamlet of Verchere straight away… We managed to get to the mill anyway (a lovely spot), but then we ended up walking along the road for 2 km… We arrived in Messey-sur-Grosne and there, once again, we couldn’t find the path! We ended up walking along the road…It’s a shame because the route is easy, with no significant elevation gain, and the scenery is peaceful. The description wasn’t precise enough for us. But hey, we covered 10 km and had a good breath of fresh air!
