Exploring Les Bordes

(S/E) You start this walk from the town hall car park, walking round the stadium through the woodland until you reach Chemin du Bois des Gaules.

(1) Take this path and walk alongside the gardens of the houses on the outskirts of the woods until you return to the D72 road.

(2) Follow it to Place des Bordes, where you can admire the two turrets of the former entrance to Château des Bordes, as well as the restored square.

(3) Continue along Rue du Moulin de Béchereau, which you’ll soon leave on your right to take the Sente des Marinaux.

(4) The path narrows and winds its way between two properties before opening out onto a pasture with horses, which you cross to reach a designated path leading out of the area.

(5) After taking the path, follow the Sente des Enclos, which offers a lovely view of pastures and horses. Leave the path to join Rue du Moulin de Béchereau.

(6) The street takes you back to Place des Bordes, and you walk along the D72 in the opposite direction.

(2) Without turning into the large side streets, as you did on the way there, carry on straight ahead, then turn right and then left onto Rue du Bois des Gaules to return to the town hall car park (S/E).

Wear closed-toe shoes to walk along the Sente des Marinaux (narrow) and through the pasture.
