Sunday morning walks

The Loir-et-Cher Departmental Hiking Committee publishes a calendar every year in August in which it lists all the Sunday morning hikes organized by local associations.

Each club marks the 2-3 circuits set up for the morning. Hikers start hiking between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. at their own pace after paying the registration fee if they want to claim the snack break in the middle of the route.

A good way to discover hiking trails off the beaten track once a week.
