Start at the Museum of Napoleon's Last Headquarters, Chaussée de Bruxelles in Genappe. Please note: do not park in the museum car park, which is quite small, so as to leave it free for visitors, but park at the side of the Chaussée de Bruxelles.
(S/E) Walk towards the car park entrance and continue to the right of "La Fermette" along Chemin des Vieux Manants.
(1) After passing a potale (small oratory), ignore the first path on the left and the path on the right 50 metres further on. Take the dirt track that descends to the left between some magnificent houses. At the bottom of the descent, at the entrance to a splendid private property, take the path on the right, signposted "Plancenoit" (Sentier du Vieux Manant, no. 43). Much further on, just at the entrance to the woods, join the "P8 Du Lion".
(2) Go down the two steps on the left. Follow the Bois Le Duc path, no. 42. Cross the Ruisseau des Broues stream over a small wooden bridge and then go up to Rue Mathy, which you follow to the right until you reach Chemin de la Maison du Roi
(3) Cross over and take trail no. 19 opposite (trail behind the guard's house, P8 du Lion). It runs along the back of the properties bordering the meadow. A gate allows you to enter. Follow the previous trail, still bordering the meadow. Another gate brings you back to the trail.
(4) Shortly before entering the undergrowth, you will cross an unfenced garden. Stay on the path and respect the area . When you reach a T-junction, turn right towards Clos de la Neuve Cour and join Rue de la Bachée . Be careful of traffic.
(5) Turn right, stay on this pavement and continue to the third street on the left, opposite No. 1.
(6) Immediately after this house, turn right onto trail no. 15, Sentier de la Rue Là-haut. It starts as a path and continues as a steeply ascending trail. At the end, cross Rue Là-Haut and take the trail of the same name opposite (P7 Bois Impérial). After a steep descent, pass between two ponds formed by the Ruisseau des Broues and climb (steep slope) the Sentier des Flamanches (No. 40). At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead. At the edge of the woods, the path passes between the fences of two meadows.
(7) At the corner of the woods, take the first path on the right, a farm track, still following the P7 Bois Impérial. It climbs up to the Chantelet farm, which you cross. For people walking with a dog or those who are afraid of dogs, see the practical information.
(8) At the farm exit, continue along the paved road until you reach Chaussée de Bruxelles, opposite a shrine.
(9) Turn right and head for the car park (S/E).
As for the trousers, yes, unfortunately, because of the ticks.
