Description of the walk

Park in the small car park near the football pitch on the edge of the Chemin des Criquaulins

(S/E) Take the access path to the football pitch, then the first footpath on the left. Follow it to the metal footbridge spanning the Norges.

(1). Cross the footbridge.

(2) At the roundabout, turn right and use the pedestrian crossing to cross Rue de Bourgogne.
Then continue to the right along the footpath running alongside this street until you reach the edge of the village.

(3) Turn left at the corner of the housing estate and you’ll come out onto Chemin du Paquier.

(4) Turn right. At the next junction, turn left and continue along the D700. On the straight stretch, take the first path on the left, then, at the next fork, turn right until you reach the D107d.

(5) Cross the D107d with care to take the path opposite. Continue along this path, which turns left at a 90° angle and becomes Rue de la Croix Pommier.

(6) When you reach Rue de Dijon, follow it to the right as far as the town hall, then turn left into Rue de la Fabrique.
Cross Rue de Bourgogne, and before turning right, walk to the church and back.
Continue along Rue de Bourgogne until you reach the junction with Rue du Moulin on the left.

(7) Take Rue du Moulin and, after crossing the bridge over the Norges, take the path on the right to the equestrian centre. Opposite the equestrian centre, turn left onto the path that runs alongside the Vieille Tille.

(8) Turn left to cross the bridge over the stream, turn left again and walk alongside the ponds to reach the road to Bressey-sur-Tille.

(9) Cross this road and take the dirt track opposite, on the edge of the woods, until you reach the Chemin des Criquaulins.
Turn slightly left to reach the nearby car park (S/E).

No significant elevation gain, easy. Best done on a cloudy day, as it’s very exposed! The section running alongside the Arc is a bit of a shame – you can hear the traffic… but the start is wooded and lovely once you’ve found the stadium tucked away behind the woods!

An easy walk, suitable for everyone.
To find the football pitch car park, follow the signs carefully as it is located outside the village.

A lovely winter walk in the sunshine. Very well explained. However, as we don’t live in Couternon, we couldn’t find the football ground car park where the walk starts, so we began the walk a little further on…
