Looking for something longer? The Puy loop can be combined with the Pins and Fontainiers loops. Amateurs beware!
This pretty Gravel loop on the southern flank of Mont Guillaume passes through a string of hamlets that make up the villages of Puy-St-Eusèbe and Puy-Sanières. The second part of the route climbs into the forest. The picnic stop at Belvédère de la Para is ideal.

Herd protection dogs

In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).

When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.

Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".
