The hike starts behind the church, on Rue Saint-Louis in the village of Juilly (Seine-et-Marne). Parking spaces are available in the surrounding streets.
PR® (yellow) trail markers
(S/E) Take Rue Saint-Louis heading north. At the crossroads, turn left onto Rue Pierre Loyer and continue straight on into Rue de la Louvière. When you reach the end of the village, a farm track continues on to Ru de la Maquerelle.
(1) The surface of this path quickly becomes very stony. After about a kilometre, the stony path turns left, but continue along the track, which is now grassy and still runs alongside Ru de la Maquerelle until it reaches a path at a T-junction.
GR® markings (red and white)
(2) Turn right, the path crosses the stream and initially runs alongside the forest (you will see the firstGR®1marker when it enters the forest). It emerges after 500 metres and continues to follow the edge of the forest. When you reach a corner, you will see theGR® warning sign "turn left in 50 metres" painted on the trunk of a large tree. You will then reach the T-junction.
No markings
(3) TheGR® turns left.
Leave theGR® and take the track on the right that heads south across the fields.
(4) At the junction with the D27, continue straight ahead towards the village of Vinantes, whose houses you can see in the distance.
(5) In Vinantes, after crossing the Beuvronne, when you arrive near a wash house, take Rue de la Fontaine in front of you. At the next crossroads, take Grande Rue and then, after about 100 metres, turn left onto Chemin de Saint-Mesmes.
(6) At the fork after the cemetery, turn right onto the small road that passes under the high-voltage power line.
(7) At the next crossroads, turn right and continue to the Nantouillet cemetery.
PR® markings (yellow)
(8) You will find the yellowPR® markings that you followed at the start, but be careful as the yellow markings have often disappeared.
Continue to the junction with the D404.
(9) Here you will find the ruins of Nantouillet Castle. Turn right.
(10) At the edge of the village, turn left onto the path that goes around the boundary wall of the last house. Follow this path, which will take you straight back to Juilly Church, which you will see as soon as you reach Rue du Chemin de Nantouillet (S/E).
very pleasant in spring, clear directions, good signage, route completed on time with a picnic break. A good time was had by all. Pretty villages.
