Grandes Manches route in Fontenoy-le-Château
This marked pedestrian route (blue square) starts at the municipal campsite (car park, bar and restaurant open in the evening from May to October).
You will pass through magnificent forests known for their high-quality oak trees. You may occasionally be surprised by deer crossing the path.
This route takes in the splendid Arsondieux and Breuillots lakes, passes through veritable "cathedral" forests and goes near the Chapel of the Virgin of Bois Bani (a place of pilgrimage).
Route from the Saint-Georges Chapel to Fontenoy-le-Château
This route starts at the municipal campsite on Route de la Vierge. It will take you to the Chapel of Saint-Georges, built in the middle of the forest on the site of a deadly fratricidal battle. This route passes near the Arpero bar (a surprising log cabin between the canal and the Coney), the Carrières Volle quarries, the Tour des Lombards tower, the listed church, the castle ruins and the Embroidery Museum.
Route de Saint-Georges (Bellevue)
This route will take you through the Saint-Georges woodland, past a forest picnic shelter, then the ruins of Bellevue, before reaching the village where you can visit the Embroidery Museum, the ‘Vieux Fontenoy’ and the listed church. It then heads back up to the campsite, running alongside the castle ruins.
