La Vonne
Footbridge over the Vonne at Giez

Description of the walk

(S/E) Start from the car park at Marigny-Chemereau church.
Take the street almost opposite (Rue du Cirque de Giez), and follow it up to the livestock farm at the top.
Leave the road on the left leading to the large livestock buildings and take the path opposite. Reach the junction with a footpath at Champs de l’Ormeau.

(1) Take the path on the left, cross the entire farm plateau keeping the large livestock buildings on your left, and follow the path down to the Giez road.

(2) Turn left onto this road towards Giez, walk straight through the village until you reach the River Vonne. Cross it via the concrete footbridge and head for the crossroads.

(3) Take the path on the left – this is theGR®364, marked in red and white – and follow it uphill to the junction with a road.

(4) Stay on theGR® to the left to reach the village of La Roche.

(5) Turn right at the junction onto Rue des Tourterelles. You’ll reach a gravel road; follow it to the right as it climbs into the village. Pass the next left-hand turn and, at the next junction, take the road opposite. Reach the edge of the woods and turn onto the path on the left. Then, at the next two junctions, keep right to reach Croix Salbart.

(6) Turn left onto thePR®, join the D27a and then head towards the hamlet of La Moinerie.
Caution: this section of road has heavy traffic.
Enter La Moinerie by taking the first left for a few dozen metres.

(7) Turn left; at the next junction, follow the path to the right until you reach the next wayside cross. Turn left.
Continue straight along this path until you reach a junction with a road.

(8) Turn left onto it until you reach the next junction. Then follow the road on the right back to the starting point (S/E).

This is thethird time I’ve done this route, and I’m a bit disappointed: at number (5), the turn onto the path on the left was either impossible to find or hadn’t been cleared! Luckily, I used Mapp and found our way again further on. There’s nothing particularly special about this route.

We too have noticed the problem with the path after the La Roche woods.
The author of the walk should update the description and route, so that every new user will see the updated version of the walk.
Otherwise, it’s a lovely walk.

At number 1, you’re supposed to take the first left – the junction with the path to the Oormeau fields doesn’t exist!!!
The village of La Roche is very pretty. I’d already done this route a few years ago and made more or less the same mistakes. Time to give it a go for a third time.

After point 5, the section of path between Bois de la Roche and Poirier Rateau no longer exists. It is now a ploughed field. It is best to continue straight on after Bois de la Roche and then turn left to reach point 6.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

The path on the left no longer exists at the exit of the Bois de la Roche: it has been cultivated and incorporated into the Poirier Rateau field up to its second junction

Following your comment, a private message has been sent to the author.

See you soon

Hello,

The path on the left no longer exists at the exit of the Bois de la Roche: it has been cultivated and incorporated into the Poirier Rateau field up to its second junction; we therefore turned back to head for Marigny-Chémereau ...

A lovely walk along the Vonne – you’ll need a map as there aren’t many signposts at the junctions

The description is a bit confusing and lacks clarity in places; we almost got lost, but luckily the map is there to give us a general idea of the direction.

Hello and thank you, lucette.magni
Sorry, we forgot to reply to you last August.
As for creating the route, Visorando has absolutely no expertise in this area.
Otherwise, the app works perfectly without a network connection. You just need to cache the route before you set off. Then, once you’re there, you can switch to aeroplane mode and your smartphone will function as a GPS, without a network connection.

Sorry about this walk!!! It’s very poorly explained; especially when it comes to distances across open countryside, and please mention street names WHEN possible.

It’s a shame the route isn’t clearly marked out on the ground. This hike is listed as taking 3 hours 20 minutes for 8.7 km??? That’s far too long… it’s no longer a hike but just a leisurely stroll…
It’s a shame you can’t follow this route without an internet connection!!! Or else someone needs to explain to me how to do it!!!
