It is a local loop hike but it is not a scenic hike for which one could drive for an hour or so. We passed a few people but not many. I think it is a great rural walk with a pet!
The walk starts from the village into the fields. We saw lots of cows on them, so our son enjoyed it a lot. Once we reached the forest, the pathways were pleasant to follow and varied in width. There are a few Vita Parcours spots with information boards encouraging some physical exercises and stretches; so if you feel like doing some additional work outs, it is a good place. Vita Parcours usually has a separate set of trails to follow and each spot has a different task. Majority of the walk follows field roads but at the end of the pathway we managed to see some goats and a horse - again, our little toddler loved that!
More information about this hike (& pictures!) can be found on Randonnes Pedestres website here. Bare in mind, that the route shown on the link slightly varies to the one we chose to do.
