Car park near Lac de Longlais, access via the lake road.
This new, easy route sometimes follows marked paths.
(S/E) Leave the car park and head towards the lake, going around it on the right. Pass the playground and continue along the path between the Iton and the lake: there are numerous statues of birds along this route and many swans on the lake.
(1) Continue to the left: at this point, it was possible to turn right towards Heudreville-sur-Eure, but the footbridge is currently being restored.
(2) Take the path on the right, which is now closed by a wooden barrier that can be opened.
Continue along this path until you reach Rue Saint-Mauxe after crossing a small bridge over the Iton (a small stream that flows into the Eure at Acquigny).
(3) Continue straight on Rue Saint-Mauxe until you reach Promenade du Petit Pont. Turn right and head towards the church.
(4) Continue on the left to reach Rue Aristide Briand. Cross this street carefully using the protected crossing on the left, go up to the right and then turn left onto Rue des Grandes Ruelles.
(5) As is often the case along rivers, there used to be mills here: at this spot, the remains of an old mill can be seen, of which only a water wheel in very poor condition survives. Continue straight ahead on this road for about 1.5 km, passing the water treatment plant, and you will reach the industrial estate.
(6) After turning left, at the first crossroads, turn left and then right to pass between businesses and continue to the D71.
(7) Follow the D71 to the left and then turn left again into Rue de Surville. Continue along this street until you reach Rue Aristide Briand. At this point, turn left and then shortly afterwards right into Rue de la Gare.
(8) Former Acquigny railway station: this is where part of the film "The Train" starring Burt Lancaster, Michel Simon and Jeanne Moreau was shot in 1964. Continue to Rue du Moulin Potel and turn right.
(9) At the crossroads, first turn right then left, keeping to the street opposite, which ends in a small shaded path that leads back to the lake car park (S/E).
