Description of the walk

Park in the town hall and church car park in Pruillé-le-Chétif.

(S/E) Leave the car park and turn left towards the RD50 crossroads. Turn left, follow the road for a good hundred metres, then take the footpath on the right that runs alongside the Ruisseau de la Bujerie. Return to the RD50, cross it at the pedestrian crossing and turn right. Turn left into Rue des Bois at the calvary.

(1) Go left up the Chemin des Hauts Bois and turn left at the edge of the wood to join the Route de Rouillon (C7).

(2) Follow this road carefully to the right for 200 m, then turn right onto the road that crosses the Basses Épines before rejoining the Route de Rouillon. Continue to the right for approximately 200 m.

(3) Before the crossroads, leave the Route de Rouillon and take the track on the right. Enter a small wood, ignore the Chemin de la Grémie on the right and continue as far as the RD50.

(4) Turn right onto the very narrow path that runs alongside the road, then cross it carefully to the left as far as the entrance to the village.

(5) Turn right onto Rue des Bois.

(1) Go straight ahead and continue in the opposite direction until you reach the church. Turn right to pass between the church and the new Espace Socio-Culturel and reach the car park (S/E).
