Who's it for? Walkers who like to climb!
This loop is ideal for those looking to enjoy a leisurely walk before tackling a popular climbing spot: the spectacular Fauvettes Viaduct in Essonne, a disused railway bridge on the former Ouest-Ceinture line at Chartres in Eure-et-Loir. Around the bend and at the top of the bridge, you'll be treated to magnificent views over the valley. Don't forget to bring a picnic lunch and your climbing gear! For those less equipped, joining an organized group is also an option.
