Description of the walk

Start and finish near the municipal workshops and Peugeot garage, with parking available for a few cars.
A quarter of the route is on village streets and three quarters is through fields and woods. As most of the woods are private property, please respect the area.

(S/E) Head towards the D145, follow it on the right and then cross it carefully to take the path opposite through the fields.

(1) Take the path on the left (GR®1) marked by a signpost, towards the forest. At the end of the climb, leave the GR®1 on your left and continue for about 50 metres.

(2) Turn right onto Chemin de la Butte Hebert, the Blue trail, and descend to the entrance of the village.

(3) Turn right onto Rue des Fontaines, then left onto Rue du Fer à Cheval and continue along Rue du Château.

(4) At the wash house, turn right onto Rue de la Grange Larchée, cross the D145 with caution and take the cycle path on the left for 250 metres. Then take the first path on the right across the fields.

(5) When you reach the D449, cross it carefully and continue straight ahead on Rue des Marigouts, then turn right onto Rue de la Motte, pass in front of Saint-Pierre Church and go up Rue du Cresson on the right. When you reach the cross on a stone base, turn left and cross the D449 again carefully. Continue straight ahead on Rue de Nangeville, then turn right onto Rue de la Roche Cornue.

(6) At the end of the street, turn left onto Rue de l'Egalité.

(7) Pass the tennis court, go behind the children's playground and take the path near the fence on the right. Stay on this path until you reach the edge of the woods.

(8) Take a carriage road on the left, pass in front of the sports field and reach the D145. Finish the last 200 metres on the cycle path to reach the finish line on the left (S/E).

As with many hikes in the Île-de-France region, this one allows you to discover pretty villages. It's a shame that such a high percentage of the route is on tarmac roads. Perhaps a direct route from the village of Huisson to the GR1 to return to the starting point would help to reduce this percentage.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Indeed, some signs have been put up recently, so I have modified the route accordingly.

This minor issue was quickly resolved because one participant had a Visorando map that was several years old, and the route differed from the one I had recently downloaded.
A 9.9 km hike that could be shortened depending on the participants' fitness levels and the weather.

Incorrect description from the end of no. 6 and the beginning of no. 7. We returned to the road to go back. Avoid this hike during hunting season. Disappointed.

A pleasant short hike.

Varied terrain: fields, woods, villages, flat, then hilly and more rugged on the last section.

Virtually no road sections (approximately 200 metres).

A very pleasant and easy hike. The paths are varied with very little tarmac.
A lovely walk to enjoy with the family.

A fairly short and easy route; part of it crosses rather charming villages and the rest is mainly through natural areas (pretty woodland); some beautiful scenery.

To avoid walking along the D 449 between 5 and 6, I took a path across a field 500 metres further north, which leads to the northern entrance of Huison via a very small road and rejoins the route near the church in the same village.
