Description of the walk

Car park at Place des Fêtes, Rue des Dames de France, next to the château farm.

(S/E) Head south-west, continue to the end of Rue des Dames de France and take the path on the right. Walk alongside the golf course to the D227.

(1) Cross the road and turn left, walking carefully along this road, keeping well to the right. Leave the road and take the first path on the right. Walk alongside the golf course, through the small wood and then the vineyards, and head down towards Janvry, which you’ll reach at Rue de Reims.

(2) Turn left, then veer slightly to the right to pass in front of the town hall and the church. Then turn right onto Rue Saint-Vincent, and turn left at the junction opposite the vineyards. Keep to the right to pass in front of the small house.

(3) Take the path on the left which crosses the small wood to the field, then veer right. Cross the D27 with care and take the path opposite.

(4) At the Y-junction, turn left then right onto the discovery trail at the edge of the woods. Ignore the paths on the left and right and go straight on until the next crossroads.

(5) Turn right, go straight on at the four-way crossroads and continue to the Y-junction about fifty metres further on, at the Grands Prés stream.

(6) Turn left onto the path that climbs.

(7) Cross Route de Muizon with care to take the path opposite which heads left, then turns right and joins another tarmac road.

(8) Cross this road and take the path on the left that runs alongside it, continuing to the junction with Avenue de la Gare. Turn right and go straight on until you reach the second roundabout.

..9.. Go round this roundabout on the right, using the pedestrian crossings, and walk along the left-hand side of the pond. Once you reach the end of the pond, turn right, go straight ahead at the junction, then turn left onto Rue des Dames de France to reach the car park (S/E).

The walk took about 2 hours and 10 minutes; the scenery was beautiful and we didn’t encounter any problems with the route.
I agree with the comment below (or above) regarding point 1; there is indeed a path across the golf course that allows you to avoid walking alongside the road.

I recommend it!

A pleasant, easy walk that takes you through varied landscapes with some lovely views (rated 4 to 5), alternating between shaded and sunny stretches.
From point 1, rather than walking along the road, you can enter the golf course and follow the road until you reach the path.
