Description of the walk

Park in the Carrefour Market car park in Pavilly.

(S/E) Turn left onto Rue de l'Hospice and continue to the Y-junction with Rue Noël Fauvel.
Turn right at an acute angle into this street and continue to a Y-junction.

(1) Keep this street on your right and at the next junction, turn left onto Rue des Catillons. After a large circular to the left, you will come to another junction, Rue du Petit Catillon.

(2) Continue on the right on Rue des Catillons and further on take the^GR® 212 marked in red and white. Reach the crossroads of the hamlet of Grand Catillon.

(3) Leave the^GR® and turn left towards Grand Catillon via Rue Jean Restout. Continue straight ahead to reach the farm.

(4) Turn left and go down the path. When you reach a Y-junction, continue along the left-hand path to join the D104.

(5) Take the road on the left, go around the small stretch of water and you will come to a crossroads in the bend in the road. Be careful on this section of the D504: there is a lot of traffic, so take care.

(6) Take the small path on the left that climbs into the forest to reach the^GR®25junction.

(7) Turn left onto this red and white marked^{GR® trail}. Pass La Caillotière and then the Petit Catillon farm; the path can be quite muddy in places.

(8) Keep right on the^{GR® trail}, then leave it to take Rue Bourvil on the left. At the end of the street, continue along the path that leads to Rue du Petit Catillon. Turn right onto this street to return to the first crossroads.

(1) Retrace your steps to return to the car park where you started (S/E).

Great hiking trail along a small path. Forest, a bit of road, caution, a bit muddy at the end of the trail, but the rest is very passable.

The GR 25 trail markings are poor, but otherwise it's a nice hike.

A very beautiful hike. We didn't meet anyone during the week. Half of the route is through the woods. The only downside was that after Petit Catillon, due to recent heavy rains, the path was very muddy for about 1 kilometre. Beautiful countryside scenery; you would never think you were so close, geographically, to the Barentin shopping centre. Worth doing again...

We left at point 2 to avoid the tarmac road that leads to it.
Between points 4 and 5, we turned left too early and ended up just after point 5.
It would be good to specify that you should ignore the first path that descends to the left.

A very pleasant walk! I recommend following the map, as we got lost at point 3 with the description.
But we really enjoyed the rolling countryside and the mix of roads and paths.
Took 2½ hours (with at least 20 minutes lost at point 3).

Route taken on 26 December under grey skies but without rain. The route takes us through alternating landscapes of plains, undergrowth and grassy valleys. At this time of year, mud is often encountered and equipment must be chosen accordingly.
I left Pissy-Pôville via the greenway to reach "Les Marivaux" and took the route at point 6. After the route, I went up the D104 to the farm with the well and turned right onto Chemin du Calvaire (note the paintings on the walls of the chicken coops) until I reached the RD 47, which I took, going up to the left for 400 metres before turning right onto the path that leads to the Quesnay orchards. The path continues and takes us to the Pissy football field, then to the junction with the Route du Bois Ricard. Continue straight on Rue des Écoles. Turn right at the tree of liberty until you reach the RD 47, which you take to the left until you leave Pissy-Pôville, then take the path on the right which leads you straight to the green path. This completes a circular route of 15 km.

A very pleasant circular hike, completed in 2½ hours instead of 3 hours.

Notes:

- The first GR trail is opposite (continue along the same road) - do not take the GR trail on the left.
- Once you enter the woods, ignore the path that goes down to the left (dotted line on the map); this path leads directly to the road (D104), whereas the description says "at the Y-junction, turn left!!!
- Did not see the lake.

We came across two hares, several herds of cows, beautiful fields with poppies... in short, a lovely walk!

This hike is indeed very pleasant with its rolling landscapes. It's a shame it's so short; we would have liked to prolong the pleasure.

As Benoit rightly points out, there are a few inconsistencies, especially between points 4 and 6:

once you enter the woods, ignore the path that descends to the left (dotted line on the map); the path leads directly to the road (D104), whereas the description says "at the Y-junction, turn left!!!

After that, it's very simple: at a place called Les Marivaux, take the D 504 and you will easily find the start of the path a little further on the left. (Like Benoit, I didn't see any ponds.)

I would say that you can do without the comments and just follow the map. It's really not difficult to find your way.

I really liked this little route, but there are a few minor issues with the transcription.
- At 4, turn left and go down the path (okay).
Then you come to a Y-junction (problem) 100 m after starting the descent, there is a turn-off on the left which forms a Y-junction, but this path leads nowhere; 300 m further on there is a field and barbed wire. Simply follow the main path, which curves to the left and descends to the D104, ignoring the paths branching off to the right and left.
- In 5: I did not find any water and there are no trail junctions on the section of the D504.
Once you have turned left, continue to a place called "Les Marivaux" and turn opposite at the stop sign. The road climbs in several curves. Follow it for about 350 m and turn left onto the only path on this climb.
A road and path that branch off to the left do not constitute a trail junction.

That said, I repeat myself, but I really liked the route, which is hilly, and it's nice that you took the time to share it with us. A few minor corrections are certainly needed.

Thank you.
