(S/E) With your back to the church tower, turn right onto Rue Victor Drugeon.
(1) Take the first street on the left towards Monthou-sur-Bièvre, then the first street on the right, Rue de la Bièvre. Turn left at the junction with Rue de Palluau. This is followed by a grassy path.
(2) At the fork, keep right (the other path is private) and continue south-west until you reach the narrow Rue de l’Église, which has a damaged tarmac surface, 150 metres after crossing the Bièvre.
(3) Turn left onto this street. It crosses a small road and then heads south, giving way to a grassy path. At the crossroads, take the grassy path on the left which runs along the edge of a wood. Ignore the side paths. The grass gives way to a hard-surfaced path, the Chemin de Gouvert.
(4) Leave the Chemin de Gouvert at the edge of the woodland (30 km/h zone), about fifty metres before crossing the Bièvre, turning right onto a grassy path running parallel to the river. Ignore the paths branching off to the right so as to keep the Bièvre and its ponds on your left. The grassy path eventually joins the Route de Sambin, which you will leave at a junction after about 50 metres.
(5) At the junction, turn right onto the grassy path. At the hamlet of Sainte-Marie, turn left onto a small side street and cross the Bièvre
(6) Leave the tarmac after 120 metres and take the first grassy path on the right, running alongside a small wood. Cross the D7, and continue straight ahead along a grassy path at the edge of the forest. Keep left at the junction at the edge of the vineyard plot, and continue to a further crossroads.
(7) Take the path on the left, then the path on the right, once past the small wood. Turn left onto the wide lane that runs between two vineyard plots and becomes tarmac as you approach the hamlet. Cross a narrow street heading towards La Chaumine. Pass the hamlet of La Chaumine.
(8) At the three-way junction, do not take the gravel track but turn left at the hairpin bend, then right after 250m. Cross Rue Toussaint Galloux. Pass the first turn-off on the left but turn left at the second.
(9) Turn left at the fork so as to run alongside the gate and then the fence of a private property on your left.
(10) Ignore the turn-off to the right. The grassy track is followed by the Chemin de la Fosse au Coq, a tarmac road. Turn right onto Rue de la Varenne, a side street, then left onto the main street, Rue Victor Drugeon.
(1) Pass Rue du Vieux Moulin on your right to return to Ouchamps church, the starting point of the walk (S/E).
