(S/E) Opposite the château, turn right and then right again at the corner of a wash house onto Chemin du Hazay. Continue left, then right (still on Chemin du Hazay). Ignore two streets on the right and continue down the dead-end road (Sentier du Bigard).
(1) Then turn right onto a dirt road. Keep right at the various intersections.
(2) On the descent, at an old reservoir, turn left and continue straight ahead on the rough track (you can take the path slightly to the right, which avoids the worst potholes).
(3) At the cement hut, turn left and continue along a rough track (passable on the right). At elevation 148, take the second track on the left (south-west).
(4) At the next junction, at the edge of the forest, continue straight ahead and continue straight ahead across the plain. Cross a small road and, at the next junction, take the grassy path that continues straight ahead (west). Enter the village of Lainville via a tarmac road (Chemin du Maléra). At the Croix de la Renoncière, continue right along the one-way street (Rue au Canes).
(5) At the foot of the church, turn left (PR®®41), cross the D205 and continue right downhill on Chemin de la Côte Duché. Pass a wash house and go up opposite.
(6) At the top of the hill, at the first crossroads, turn left and walk through the woods along a wire fence. When you reach the hamlet of Les Bonnes Joies, continue right on the road.
(7) Just before leaving the village, turn left onto Chemin de Mégrimont. Keep left at the various intersections.
(8) When you reach Maison Deschamps, directly below the wrought-iron balcony, take the path on the right and descend towards the village of Montalet-le-Bois.
(9) When you reach a road, turn right (Chemin de la Croix Damply).
(10) At the fork, turn left onto Chemin du Vieux Moulin des Prés.
You will come out in Damply. Take the D205 for about 50 metres and turn right onto Chemin de la Carrière.
(11) After about 20 metres, turn left (east) onto Chemin de Damply.
(12) Turn left, cross the Bernon stream and continue straight ahead, crossing the D205, then climb up Chemin des Noquets (a long, steep climb). At the top, follow the wall of the Centre des Scouts de France, keeping it on your right, to return to the starting point (S/E).
