Around Cuvigny

A short walk on good paths in the hills above La Comté. On a clear day, the panorama is superb, and if you're luckier than me, you'll spot a few deer.

Description of the walk

Start: Rebreuve-Ranchicourt, Place du 19 mars 1962.

(S/E) Go straight ahead on Rue de l'Église to the cemetery. Cross the cemetery and take the left-hand staircase to the D341. Cross the road at the pedestrian crossing to find a path opposite which cuts across the embankment and joins Rue du Moulin. Cross the Brette (waterfall) to reach the Chaussée Brunehaut.

(1) Cross the Chaussée Brunehaut and take a good path opposite, alongside the farm, which leads to Frévillers. Ignore all the paths to the right and left and, keeping south-west, reach the D72.

(2) Follow it to the right until you reach a crossroads (calvary on the right).

(3) Turn right. Leave a track on the right and reach a crossroads.

(4) Turn right again. You are now on the "Haute Vallée de la Lawe" PR® route (yellow markings). This is a wide path running due north, with a few slightly damp stretches. After narrowing, it veers left, then right at the edge of a field (this passage is sometimes a little slippery). Join a track which you follow to the left until you reach a crossroads.

(5) Go right on the GR®127 (white and red markings), which will take you back to Rebreuve. At the next crossroads, turn right and continue downhill to join the Chaussée Brunehaut.

(6) Leave the GR®, which turns right, and go straight on into Rue Rohanel. Cross the Brette and arrive opposite the château chapel (weathervane with wolf's head). Turn right, then right again (nice steep climb) to reach the D341. Cross over to the car park (S/E).

It's true that the passage along the edge of the field between 4 and 5 is quite difficult.
Fortunately, the paths are quite dry!

Lovely tour for pushchairs (better to be two adults as there is a tricky section to negotiate). Beautiful, easy paths.

A lovely walk starting from a pretty village in the Artois region.
It's better to rely on the route map than on the non-specific signposting. Most of the route is on dry ground. No risky sections.
After point 5, don't miss the right-angled junction with the GR 127...
When you arrive in the village, after admiring a very beautiful restored white stone dovecote, walk past the castle (not behind it). The GR 127 marker indicating that you should turn right is not clearly visible on the brick wall opposite the end of the GR. The château is very beautiful (not open to visitors). In her youth, Madame De Gaulle used to holiday there with her cousins.
As for Cuvigny, don't expect to see much of it. It remains well hidden despite the 10 km surrounding it...

I think the visorando software is set to an average speed of 3.5 km/h. It's not very fast, but it avoids unpleasant surprises.
When it comes to walking times, it's best to base them on mileage and altitude difference and, of course, on your own walking pace.

Most of the route is quiet and pleasant, with lovely views over the Artois hills.
The duration seems overestimated: more like 2h20 (with stops) rather than 3h20.

A beautiful walk in the countryside. Just the village to cross and fields and woods. Ideal with a dog.
