Description of the walk

(S/E) Set off from Blacy town hall and walk down Rue des Tilleuls towards the church, passing the school.

(1) At the junction, turn right onto Rue du Moulin, cross the D2 (be careful!) and continue straight on along Rue de Sompuis (GR®654; red and white markings). Ignore Rue Rampillon on the left and continue straight on, then take the second path on the left.

(2) Leave theGR® markings and take the first white track on the right to climb towards the telecoms radar. At the fork, veer left to go round the vineyards and follow them for about 1 km.

(3) At the end of the vineyards, head down a grassy path on the left. This turns right then left between the orchards.

(4) At the fork, turn right to join a road immediately afterwards. Follow this road to the right, then, when it veers left, continue straight on along the white path. Immediately afterwards, ignore a path on the right and take the grassy path on the left to go round the Côte la Bertaude. Ignore a path on the left after the bend. Further on, you’ll come out onto a white path and turn right.

(5) At the next junction, take the white track on the left to go past the speed camera.

(6) Turn onto the second grassy path on the left, which runs alongside a copse. After about 500m, you’ll reach a road leading back towards Blacy; turn right.

(7) At the first house, take the second path on the left. The path veers to the right and runs alongside gardens. After 150m, at the fork, follow the path that turns left, then take the first grassy path on the right to run alongside an orchard. Further on, ignore a path on the left. Shortly afterwards, the path turns right, then at a junction, left to reach some houses via Rue du Château d’Eau and come out onto a road.

(8) Take the street on the left, then immediately afterwards the one on the right, which descends steeply to reach the roundabout. Take the second street on the right, Rue des Tilleuls, to reach the town hall (S/E).

Hello,

The route is well described, but disappointing: the only interesting point is when you reach the foot of the TV tower, with views of the surrounding area
Very little shade along the path.
Stop by Vitry le François to see the beautiful collegiate church
