I am currently planning a hiking trip for the end of May in Bois Anzeray in the Eure region, and I am using Visorando to put together a week-long itinerary.
Thank you.

A beautiful circular with a variety of landscapes: forest, fields, villages, river. I was alone in the world for two hours.
I recommend it to you ;-)

A lovely walk, at least at the beginning. The end, on the road, is less interesting.

A short route, unpretentious. Some paths are not or no longer maintained, and weeds have taken advantage of this to grow up to a metre high, making walking in these areas a little difficult.

The car park at the start of the hike cannot be found using my satnav or Google Maps. It is actually located opposite the hospital and is easy to find.
The heading of the description, "This route takes you along the RISLE before it flows into the SEINE estuary at BERVILLE-SUR-MER and through part of the PAYS D'OUCHE countryside," might lead you to believe that the hike is just upstream from BERVILLE-SUR-MER, but it is actually much further upstream.

Walking Le Rouge Moulin

↔12.78 km ↗+108 m ↘-115 m ◔4h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Ajou (Eure)
Shortened version of the marked route starting from Ajou, retaining the interesting views of this high valley of the Risle, its mills, including the very pretty Rouge Moulin, the charming village of Champignolles and forest passages that are enjoyable in summer. On the other hand, the 4 km to Ajou are of little interest, hence the suggestion to start from the church of Saint Aubin. Yellow markings

⚑Departure from Verneuil-sur-Avre (Eure)
To mark the centenary of Maurice de Vlaminck's move to La Tourillière near Rueil-la-Gadelière, a few kilometres from Verneuil-sur-Avre, recently renamed Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton, this tour offers a three-stage discovery of the region that inspired the painter.A hunter, fisherman, walker, cyclist, motorist and motorcyclist, he came to settle here to find peace and inspiration. From 1925 until his death in 1958, under an often changeable sky dotted with clouds, the painter tirelessly explored these landscapes of fields, copses and the vast forest of Senonches, in search of subjects for his many paintings.We will first go from Verneuil to La Ferté-Vidame, passing by his grave in the cemetery of Rueil, his bust sculpted by his friend Paul Belmondo in front of the town hall, and above all his home in La Tourillière, preserved in the state in which he lived.

⚑Departure from Verneuil-sur-Avre (Eure)
In the centenary year of Maurice de Vlaminck's move to La Tourillière near Verneuil-sur-Avre, here is a journey through his heartland between Verneuil-sur-Avre and La Loupe. These towns are both served by railway stations that can be reached from Paris Montparnasse. Woods, fields and forests were the inspiration for many of the painter's works. With cloudy skies guaranteed, take a stroll through the landscapes that so strongly inspired this colourful, versatile artist, where he welcomed the greatest celebrities of his time.

↔6.38 km ↗+21 m ↘-20 m ◔1h 55 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Rohaire (Eure-et-Loir)
The painter Maurice de Vlaminck lived here, near Rueil-la-Gadelière, from 1925 until his death in 1958. This year marks the centenary of his arrival in the area. A three-day itinerary already allows you to cross his country from Verneuil-sur-Avre station to La Loupe station. Walkers who are unable to undertake this crossing can take one or more of the short circulars "In the footsteps of a Fauve". These allow you to discover the landscapes that inspired the painter."I love the countryside, not by accident, but continuously, and I spend my life there" This route, around the village of Rohaire, mainly crosses farmland. It partly follows the Buternay stream, coming from the ponds near the Chapelle de Réveillon and heading towards Rueil-la-Gadelière. After a stretch that is sometimes underground, it reappears at the Sources de la Vigne, where the streams from the vicinity of La Ferté-Vidame converge. Their waters are collected there and piped to Paris.

This hike, known mostly only to locals, is a little gem for a relaxing walk with friends or as a couple. There are lots of animals along the way, including wild animals, but also donkeys, Percheron horses, sheep and goats.
