A nice path to get there, a footbridge if the water level does not allow you to cross the ford.

Very small single track with a bit of a slope to the north and a nice hole (which can be avoided) to the south.

A well-marked single track, although it tends to close up a little in the spring. Perhaps a little more difficult in the section towards the St Lunaise/Levet road.

A few trees are lying across a small section between the Lunery Bridge and the railway bridge. It's still possible to cross, but it needs to be cleared. Don't forget your pruning shears!

Appointed parish priest of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher in 1861, Abbé Ducros discovered a ruined church. To rebuild it, he decides to subscribe, asking "two pennies" from each child in exchange for which he promises to pray for him the Virgin Mary. In return, he received many "two cents," but also many letters, including one written by a ten-year-old girl, a Semur-en-Brionnais resident.
