Walk between Saint-Martin-Longueau and Sacy-le-Petit

A pleasant walk through fields and woods where, with a bit of luck, you might spot a deer.

We set off from Rue du Bois du Jonc after the walk to Houdancourt.
Long paths through fields and sunshine.
On the path between the white (rather faded) gate and the gravel, a tree had fallen across the way, which we had to step over.
We finished the route at the Sacy Marsh car park to collect our car.

A rather uninteresting route – just flat countryside – but it’s true that it’s been shortened. Loads of hares, though – that’s the nice bit.

The only downside is that the starting point, Place des Tilleuls, is closed on the last Sunday in July
I recommend starting from Rue du Bois du Jonc; there’s space for several vehicles

Today's Nordic walking hike.
Lovely straight stretches across the fields; a lovely entrance to the woods!
