The car park is located on Rue de la Voie Verte.
(S/E) Leave the car park by taking Rue de la Voie Verte heading north-east. Cross Rue des Anciens d’Afrique du Nord (the D78) with care and continue opposite along the Voie Verte, which is the GR®655 West. Further on, pass by a water tower and continue to the road leading from La Massoterie to Moulin Foulon. There is a lovely view of Valmer Castle to the east on the right-hand side a short distance away.
(1) Turn left onto the small road towards La Massoterie, leaving the GR®655 West. Fifty metres further on, cross the Route de Château Renault (D46) with care and continue straight ahead along Rue de la White Cross. At the next junction, about seventy metres on, turn left into Rue de la Roche Fleurie. Follow this road to the centre of La Massoterie. At the junction with Rue de la Massoterie, continue to the right along Rue de la Roche Fleurie.
(2) At the next junction with Rue des Acacias, turn right onto this road, which climbs slightly. About a hundred metres further on, turn left onto the path known as Avenue Marie Louise, which climbs the hillside, initially through a small wood and then past vineyard plots. On reaching the plateau, at a crossroads in front of a small copse of trees, take the left-hand path between the vineyards. At the next crossroads, turn right onto the flat path, which soon passes an isolated farm shed. Continue to a small road at a T-junction.
(3) Turn left and follow this small road for about a hundred metres south-east before turning left onto a flat farm track that runs alongside the buildings at La Fosse Mignot. The route rejoins the GR®655 West. Further on, turn right onto the Chemin de la Garenne, which descends past a small housing estate. The track soon becomes Rue de la Garenne and continues to the junction with Rue Saint-Vincent. Turn right and follow it downhill to Rue de la Mairie.
(4) Turn left and proceed with caution along this street for about thirty metres before turning right onto Rue de l’Aube. This street turns into a farm track as soon as you pass the last buildings. Follow it to the junction with the Voie Verte, near the Brenne.
(5) Turn left to follow the Voie Verte north-eastwards. It soon winds its way between two branches of the Brenne and leads back to the car park (S/E).
