Le Grand Bois.

The walk starts at the church from the 14th century. Soon you leave the village and walk on a footpath that gives a view over the valley of La Petite Briance. Along the way you have a beautiful view of the old railway viaduct. You cross a stream and continue to the hamlet of Frachet. Once you are through the hamlet you walk into the Grand Bois. In this beautiful deciduous forest, the old beech and oak trees immediately catch the eye. You reach the hamlet of Le Theil via a beautiful forest road, from here you walk on a paved road to the edge of Sait-Germain-Les-Belles. Here the route goes via an unpaved path in the direction of the village, on the way you still have beautiful views of the valley.
