The route is very pleasant. A long ride through the forest, a circuit through a rather nice village, etc.
Some directions are missing: to get from the car park to the town hall, take the road after the second water treatment plant.
We're really glad we found this one route around Montmain.

Route through village and forest. Hunting in progress almost made us turn back.
Very good, easy route with only one hill.

A lovely little walk combining countryside and forest, with no difficulties.
Just to clarify, point 6 refers to the second sewage treatment plant, as it is very close to the other one and this could cause confusion.

Please note: between points 2 and 4, you will be travelling on the D491. There is heavy traffic, so please take care.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful hike.

A pleasant, peaceful hike along a pretty path on the edge of the woods.
However, it would be better to start directly from Montmain Town Hall or the church car park, as we didn't find it particularly interesting to walk through the residential area behind the school. On the way back, it's better to go directly to the town hall.
Coming from Rouen, it is 12 km away and the walk through the villages before Montmain is pleasant.

Short hike (completed in 1 hour 40 minutes) with a pleasant walk through the forest, once you've passed the unpleasant section of the D491 road.

Please note that the path is blocked in several places by recently fallen trees. Please detour by entering the forest.
