The route is rated as easy, even though it involves a significant elevation gain and lots of steps!
Otherwise, lovely views, apart from the finish at the cross-country course

Magnificent waterfall, especially after this year's floods. Difficult to find at first, but well worth the effort. Not a difficult hike, but you do need to be in good physical shape to climb the steps and have a good pair of walking shoes.

The Apple Tree Waterfall Route is a beautiful hike.
However, when you reach the motocross track, there is an earth wall. Presumably private access.
We crossed it, but you would need to find another access point or check with the owner of the motocross track.

The valley is interesting (ecologically), but the trail is not well marked. The path is sometimes narrow and the grass is tall. On either side of the valley, there is a quarry and a motocross track. Meh... The waterfall has almost no flow due to lack of water. Visitors are not following the rules (dogs on leashes, litter, etc.) and are standing in the water next to the waterfall. Meh...

Be careful on rainy days and the days after, as the rocks are slippery. Make sure you wear good shoes with crampons. Many of the climbs are very steep, so this route is not recommended for those who are not experienced walkers/hikers.

As already mentioned, the departure point is "behind the church", and the mistakes continue. Good luck finding your way. Very beautiful hike, especially the Pressoir Valley, which is a bit challenging in places. I would classify it as "moderate". As for the advertised elevation gain, it's more than fanciful. Expect it to be closer to 200 metres.

The route is not correctly marked. We did not complete the hike. There are no signs along the route.

Very interesting hike between points 2 and 6.
However, there is nothing of interest between the starting point and point 2, or between point 2 and the return point, which is mostly on tarmac.
Please note that there is no longer a sign at point 1.
Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful valley with its lovely Pommiers waterfall.
Why this name: Pommiers Waterfall

An original location for the region, but when leaving, do not turn your back on the church, but rather on the rear of the church.
After the first access point to the river, the description lacks precision.

A very beautiful hike with the added bonus of discovering the waterfall. It's a shame that there are a few inaccuracies in the route description and a lack of signposting.

Notice already given on 30/09.
More precise signage would be appreciated. (Where the paths cross, and where you have to turn left to go down to the motocross starting car park.)

A superb, perfect hike, but without a map, it lacks the markings usually found on hiking trails (small yellow marks on trees, for example, at unclear points)... a shame.
A signposted start behind the church instead of behind the church would avoid having to look for Rue du Pressoir, but we did find it in the end.
We were lucky enough to go two days after the rain, so the waterfall was superb, but make sure you wear suitable footwear.
Worth doing again.
Well done for this discovery. Best regards.

Little vegetation at this time of year after a very dry summer, and no water for the waterfall. Hesitation (at the crossroads) when arriving at the motocross track, at the point where you have to descend to the bottom of the valley instead of continuing. This could do with some light signposting.
