Description of the walk

Start: Place du 19 mars 1962 (town hall): parking spaces in front of Bajus church.

(S/E) With your back to the town hall, take the first right onto Rue de Dieval. Just after Rue de la Gare, you’ll join the PR® route.

(1) Take the path on the left (PR®) and go straight on until the next junction.

(2) Turn right onto the GR®127, then continue straight on. Pass the water tower on your left and carry on to Rue d’en Haut.

(3) Leave the GR®127. Turn right at the wayside shrine on Rue d'en Haut. Leave the village and continue to the next crossroads.

(4) Turn left then go straight on to Chemin de Lille.

(5) Continue left and follow the PR® to the road.

(6) Cross over and follow the path to the first path coming from the right.

(7) Keep to the right, then turn right again onto the Sentier des Presles. Stay on this path until you have negotiated the first descent and arrive near the hamlet of Epenin.

(8) Turn left towards the hamlet. Just before entering the hamlet, turn right; then, further on, just before passing under the bridge, turn left up the fairly steep slope, then turn right to cross the bridge. Continue straight on until you reach the junction from the outward journey.

(1) Turn left to reach Place du 19 mars 1962 (S/E).

A pleasant route in warm weather, hilly and mostly shaded (former railway line).
Please note that the old railway line and some agricultural tracks are stony. Wear sturdy shoes.
A bench on the higher parts of the route would be welcome for taking a break.
