Very beautiful hike. A downside on a really natural section (off-piste) but otherwise a beautiful varied route, the majestic oaks, beautiful sunken paths which must keep the cool even in the heat of summer, the difference in altitude, the streams... in short, the very beautiful atmosphere of the Bercé forest

The menhir is made up of two juxtaposed straight stones, locally called "the mother and the daughter".

nice location where a small stream passes. Many picnic tables (uh! it's a bit crowded on sunny days).

Panorama overlooking the Loir valley. Direct view of the Chartre over the Loire and other villages. In the heart of a wine-growing hillside.
