Description of the walk

(S/E) Departure from Hermonville, Place de la Mairie. Turn left onto Avenue de la Gare.

(1) Turn right when you reach the information point and continue right onto Avenue de Champagne.

(2) Turn left onto Rue du Petit Mont and, just after the house, take the path on the left which will take you past the cemetery.

(3) After the cemetery, turn right (north-east) onto Chemin du Moulin Brûlé. Walk along the Ruisseau de Rabassa stream on your left, cross a path and continue until you reach a crossroads with a small bridge over the stream.

(4) Turn left towards Cauroy-lès-Hermonville and cross the stream. At the second fork, turn left.

(5) Leave a path on your left and, in Cauroy-lès-Hermonville, take Rue Paul Despiques opposite (north-west) and then, as it continues, Rue Jeanne d'Arc.

(6) At the intersection, turn left onto Rue des Carrières towards Mont Chatté. Pass a path coming from the left and, at the next fork, keep left. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead to reach another crossroads.

(7) Continue straight ahead (uphill) to reach the motocross route and cross it.

(8) Turn right onto the carriageway that descends towards the RD30.

(9) Just before the road, turn right towards a place called La Croix Saint-Aubeu. The path will turn at a right angle.

(10) Turn left towards the Saint-Joseph farm and cross the RD30. Go around the Saint-Joseph farm on the right and take the path heading east-north-east, which will take you back to the starting point in Hermonville via Rue de Prouilly and Rue de la Mairie (S/E).

A simple and enjoyable hike!
We did it during the week and didn't see a soul. We had a picnic on the table after the motocross track, with a beautiful view of the vineyards and the village.
Most of the elevation gain is in the climb leading up to the motocross track.

hello everyone

one small caveat: the starting point is Place de la Mairie, but not in front of the town hall. Don't get confused. Otherwise, it's very good. Watch out for hunters

Good morning!
We had already travelled this route six years ago (16 August 2015!!!)
It is still just as interesting.
We made a few adjustments: at point 8, we headed south along the PR trail to enjoy the views over the vineyards. And at point 10, we veered completely left onto the GR trail to reach Hermonville more directly.
Thank you for this route !!!

Beautiful hike with lovely scenery around the village of Hermonville. I followed the comments on the forum and did my hike on a Thursday to avoid the motorbikes.

numerous motorcycle tracks!
we pass by a motocross competition track.
on competition days, it must be very noisy!

Take a detour to the St Aubeu fountain when you reach the cross (point 11).

We really enjoyed this circular route around Hermonville.
We encountered motorcyclists and cars, but we realised that it's not a good idea to go on
this hike on Saturday afternoons because of the motorbike route. Next time we'll go on
another day and in the morning if possible.
Thank you very much

Hello
This route only covers part of a route marked out by the French Hiking Federation (FFRP). You will therefore need to follow the Visorando description to complete it. Visorando cannot provide descriptions of FFRP hiking routes.

The route is marked with coloured signs, but these are not always present in certain places, which led us to make a mistake and then retrace our steps once we realised our error (on arrival in the village of Cauroy les Hermonville). Otherwise, it is a very pleasant route, except for the section near the motocross track, which is very noisy and dusty. The sections through the village of Hermonville are pleasant, and this route would benefit from taking more small streets.

A very nice circular completed today, with a picnic at the information board (two tables, water tap).

There is also a picnic table at the viewpoint, after the cross-country course.

To be repeated this winter, as the paths seem to be passable in all seasons.

Thank you for suggesting it

After the cross-country course, there is a lovely view of Hermonville and the mountain (of Reims) in the distance.
We deliberately avoided point 3 so as not to have to put the dog on a lead.
Thank you.

Hello
The hikes posted on the Visorando website are hikes that are not included in the TOPO guides of the FFRP (French Federation of Mountain and Hiking) or any other tourism committee or organisation. The purpose of the website is not to copy existing information, but to present hikes that are accessible to everyone, provided that everyone complies with the PDF document validated by the Visorando team and presented by the Visorando user. The site is a link that allows everyone to contribute to the knowledge of a place. By definition, I only post hikes that do not exist, which may use parts of GR, GRP, PR, or none of these. This is why you should never take into account the indications on the ground (unless this is indicated in the text), but rather take into account the description of the hike. Regarding point (3), it is indicated to take Rue du Petit Mont and turn left after the house (we are not talking about the last house). Regarding the motocross track crossing, there are several paths other than the one indicated. Yes, it is noisy when crossing if there are motorbikes, but it is only a one-way crossing. Don't forget to print the file for the hike and also take a screenshot of the area that may cause you problems with the necessary enlargement.
All the information you can provide helps each Visorandonneur improve their route suggestions and comments. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to contact the Visorandonneur for more information.
Best regards

A very pleasant hike with varied landscapes. You pass through some beautiful woodland.
However, we saw very few markings (there are quite a few fallen trees, so perhaps this needs to be reviewed...) and we regretted not having the IGN map
We took a wrong turn after point 3 (we didn't turn in time after the last house because we continued on to two isolated houses a little further along the same road, which we thought were the last ones...)
We would like to know if the noise from the motorbikes is too much of a nuisance when the motocross route is open (it was closed when we were there and it was very quiet)
We will do this walk again! Thank you!
