Very varied and not too difficult. Be careful not to count on a restaurant or bistro on Mondays; everything is closed on Tuesdays. A typical church in Eppe-Sauvage is under construction.

Pretty walk, on the first 2 thirds, a mixture of undergrowth and bocage hedges, with pretty views of the lake.
The last third is in rural areas and on asphalt.
To discover without significant difficulty.

Welcome to the Ch'tits....🤪👍🤣 Superb hike from our accommodation in Valjoly...(Eppe-Sauvage..France.) Start of the walk by "visiting" the nice campsite on the site and after this hook , our walk really begins...All of the lake in part and crossing of the national forest of Abbé-Val-Joly. 🌲👌 Return and well-deserved rest...🤗
Highly recommend....👍👍👍
