Description of the walk

Parking available at 9 Rue Eusèbe Fasquel or Rue de l'Église in Courteuil. The walk starts at 16 Rue de l'Église

(S/E) With your back to Saint-Gervais Church, go to the left and turn left onto Rue du Calvaire, passing in front of the town hall. Go to the end (calvary) and turn right onto Route de Chantilly for 200 metres.

(1) Cross the road carefully and turn onto the path on the left. Follow this straight path across the fields until you reach a crossroads.

(2) Turn left, still through the fields, and continue to the next crossroads. Enter the forest by following Route de la Vallée Pannier to the right, ignore two paths, one on the right and one on the left, and reach Carrefour Pannier.

(3) Turn onto the second path on the left, Route de Courteuil. Cross a junction and walk along a polo field on your right before arriving at Carrefour de la Table d'Apremont.

(4) Continue straight ahead, reach the D606 and cross it carefully. Pass Carrefour du Connétable and Route Neuve to reach Carrefour des Marchands.

(5) Turn left and do the same at the next crossroads at Porte des Marchands. Walk along a golf course on your left, ignore the two paths on your right and arrive at Carrefour de la Coharde.

(6) Take the path on the left (GR®11), ignore three paths on the left and pass the forest house on your left.

(7) Carefully cross the D44 by turning left and then right, and take the path that runs parallel to the Route des Bourgognes. Pass the Chantilly Tennis Club, turn left and cross the Grand Canal and then the Canal Saint-Jean via the Chemin des Obstinés.

(8) Turn left and follow the Canal Saint-Jean on your left.

(9) At the end, turn right onto Route de Senlis and, at the crossroads, turn left onto Route Pavée, passing the large stables on your right.

(10) Turn right onto the path, then immediately follow this path which runs alongside Route de son Altesse l'Aga Khan, then joins it. Cross over and you will immediately reach a square which serves as a crossroads: admire the Château de Chantilly and its flowerbeds on your left.

(11) Pass this crossroads and continue straight ahead. The path then slopes to the left, passing in front of Sylvie's house. Follow the GR® markings, staying on the same path, which veers further to the left and joins the Porte Vaillant.

(12) Carefullycross the street of the same name and take Chemin de la Porte du Rond. Carefully cross Rue du Calvaire (D138) and take the first path on the right, called Chemin des Vaches. Continue to the crossroads a few dozen metres from Poteau de l'Entonnoir.

(13) Turn left, leaving the GR®11: please note that this path cannot be used between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. Leave the Bois de la Charbonnière and you will come to a crossroads with a stud farm on your left.

(14) Continue straight ahead, carefully cross the road leading to Senlis and continue straight on Rue Joseph Cardon: on your right, you will see a calvary.

(15) At the crossroads, turn left onto Rue Eusèbe Pasquet, cross a small stream, then the Nonette (a tributary of the Oise). At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue de l'Église and return to the car park (S/E).
