  • "Une partie du chemin semble être passée privée (accès par le chemin des chapelles, côté est). La cartographie IGN ne référence effectivement qu'une partie (partie ouest du chemin). Vérification via cadastre : le chemin passe bien sur une parcelle cadastrale référencée. Sur le terrain : il n'y a effectivement plus vraiment de sentier praticable à ce niveau."
