Collines N°2 et 3 des Muées vers Barlieu🤗

Highlight (Segment) • Other

From the "Muées" the route cuts straight across the level curves to climb the second hill. Then a descent on the brakes followed by a short (but steep) climb leads us to Barlieu.

Roadside ford 🤗

Highlight • Other

Shallow ford to access the Moulin au Riche. The bottom is hard and the ford can be crossed even in bad weather. In case, a footbridge is on the left coming from the road.

August 19, 2022,Vailly sur Sauldre - Collines de Barlieu + Moulin au Riche de Concressault N°35/45

A tour that includes the beginning of the circuit of the "hills of Barlieu N°35" and the end of the "Moulin au Riche N°45". Some nice climbs in the hills and pretty trenches in the typical mouths of the Pays Fort. No technical difficulty but some beautiful descents where you can send... while remaining vigilant!

October 22, 2024,Hop hop hop... 3 collines et un moulin du côté de Vailly.

Always nice circuits in the land of witchcraft. This morning, no witches or wizards in the trenches... there is certainly a lot to do to prepare for Halloween. The paths, very clean for the season, reserve beautiful descents and who says descents... The hills must be passed!
