Moisson Forest Circular Walk

Parking is available in the small car park on Place Parion-Nicolle, opposite the town hall.
Another car park nearby at Place Georges Pain.

(S/E): Opposite the town hall, follow the road to the right. Pass the Chemin du Bois Beauceron on your left. Shortly afterwards, turn left into the Passage du Petit Pignon (bus stop). Ignore a path on the left. At the next junction (at No. 3), continue straight ahead, then turn left at the following T-junction.

(1) At the end, turn right onto Chemin des Barrières. At the end of the street, first turn right then left and head down Allée du Jamborée. At the next Fork in the road, go left then take Chemin des Rêles.

(2) Pass through a metal gate and follow the^PR® (yellow markings). At the Fork in the road immediately ahead, head slightly to the left. Continue along this path for about 1 km until you reach a T-junction.

(3) Turn left (sign for the Boucle de Moisson Nature Reserve) then immediately turn right onto the^PR® (yellow markings). Further on, after a right-hand bend and a very gentle climb, you’ll reach a junction.

(4) Carry on straight ahead, ignoring the^PR® which branches off to the left. At a Fork in the road, take the left-hand path until you reach a junction with a forest track.

(5) Then turn right. Carry on straight ahead, ignoring all side paths, until you reach the D124.

(6) Cross the road carefully and follow it to the right along a wide verge.

(7) After about 300 m, turn left onto a path. Walk alongside a field on your left. At the end of the field, you’ll reach a T-junction with a small road.

(8) Head left towards the Seine. Turn right immediately and follow the Promenade des Roches Blanches (tarmac). Walk alongside the river on your left and ignore all the streets on your right. At the end of the tarmac, continue along a path for about 250.

(9) Turn onto the^first path on the right, between two fences. You’ll come out onto the Chemin de la Grande Vallée; follow it as it continues. At the end, turn left onto the Route de Lavacourt. Ignore the Chemin du Murger on your right. About fifty metres further on, take a path on the right at the corner by an old transformer.

(10) At the crossroads, continue to the right along a wide track. At the next Fork in the road, turn right onto Chemin du Bois Beauceron, heading towards the church, and rejoin the tarmac road. Pass by the school and first turn right then left to return to the starting car park (S/E).
