Thanks for the route – a lovely walk, as always, through the Vexin countryside.
I started with a short circular route in Montagny, heading to a small wood and back via the church. In Montjavoult, it’s well worth taking a short detour to see the church. I also added a circular route from there to Beaugrenier.

Please note that two-thirds of the way along section 4 to 5, you’ll be crossing a field 50 metres wide. The field covers the path, but it clearly continues on the other side. However, if crops are growing, crossing it might prove tricky (we had no problems at the end of August).

A very pleasant and scenic walk, best enjoyed in late summer, though it must be even better in spring.
Take care during hunting seasons, as the route passes through several areas lined with hunting hides.

We got a bit lost in Montjavoult.
To begin with, at point 7, we didn’t see any signposting towards the cemetery and we didn’t spot it. On the map, the route doesn’t go past the cemetery, which is several hundred metres away, requiring a detour.
I’d rephrase it as: “When you come to the house, turn right and continue up Rue de Bauves, which is on your right.”

At point 8: “In the village centre, take the unpaved lane on the right before reaching the church square. You can stop for a rest on a bench opposite the church. It then becomes a footpath. Continue until you reach a path branching off to the left. Please note that it is hidden and runs alongside a small wood or copse on the left.”

Route completed in cool, slightly windy weather, cloudy in the morning and clear in the afternoon
A very beautiful route that passes over the Vexin plateau. Not too difficult, the climb to MontJavoult is easy.
The route was not too muddy despite the amount of rain that had fallen in the area in the previous days.
I would do it again in the summer.
