Description of the walk

Car park at the junction of the RN21 and Rue Beethoven.

(S/E) Set off from this street heading south-east, then turn left onto Rue Jacques Brel for a few metres and turn right towards the church car park.

(1) Then turn right in front of the church and follow the road towards La Closerie (a former small farmstead enclosed by a long wall).

(2) At the junction, turn left (sign: Boucle de la Rivière – yellow markings) onto the dirt track which runs alongside the river for nearly a kilometre.

(3) Turn right to leave the banks of the Isle and pass by a ruin. Follow this path for over a kilometre.

(4) At the fork, take the road on the right which passes in front of the C.A.T. and continue straight on at the next two junctions to rejoin the path you took on the way out.

(2) Turn left, pass the Closerie again and follow the path back in the opposite direction to reach the car park (S/E).

The good thing is that you can now do a circular route. After leaving the riverside, you head through fields (maize and sunflowers)
About half the route runs alongside the road.

On the other hand, when they say ‘partly flood-prone’, it actually means it’s very, very, very prone to flooding – so it’s a massive, massive hassle on the walk when there’s water (you’re forced to cut across the field and end up knee-deep in mud with every step, for 700 metres. An absolutely dreadful ordeal!)

So it’s very, very strongly not recommended if there’s water; I’d even go so far as to say it’s dangerous when there’s water.

A fairly long but easy hike: the slopes are gentle and the elevation gain is moderate. There are some beautiful wooded sections, mainly towards the end, and a few views of the rolling countryside, but there are also some paved sections that can be a bit long.
