Description of the walk

Park at Place Notre-Dame.

Yellow markings

(S/E) Facing the start sign on the wall of a house, to the right of a hairdresser's, turn right onto Rue de Bibiche.

(1) At the top of the hill, turn left onto Rue de la Raillière. Walk past some old houses, cross the D16 carefully, turn right and then immediately left into the beautiful avenue lined with majestic elm trees that leads to Château de la Boutelaye.

(2) At the cross, take the path on the right lined with fruit trees. Follow the Luire river from a distance, then at the lake, take the path furthest to the right below the wooded embankment to the intersection of the two village routes.

(3) Turn right, leaving the other village route. Pass the Luire stream and continue to the D16. Carefully follow the road for about a hundred metres, then turn right and head up towards the woods. Turn around and admire the view. Continue up the stony slope through the undergrowth to a place called Le Magny.

(4) Pass in front of the farm, then turn right onto a white path along the woods. At the road, turn left and enjoy the view of the other side of the hill until you reach a fork with a wooden cross.

(5) Turn right onto a grassy path. Descend through meadows and bushes (stream and pond on the left) to the road with valleys and hills stretching as far as the eye can see.

(6) At the road, go straight ahead and cross the Carloy. At the exit of the hamlet, turn left and go up towards Le Coudray (note an old oven on the right).

(7) About a hundred metres before the D80, take the path on the right and cross the open fields with a beautiful view of the surroundings of Lésigny. Join the route taken at the start.

(1) Continue straight down towards the town centre and you will reach Place Notre-Dame (S/E).

A short, very pleasant and varied route through woods and along small paths, with very little road. Beautiful views, particularly of the Château de la Boutelaye, crossing La Luire on a rather nice little bridge. I recommend this short route, even with children.

A pleasant walk, but the only drawback was that the grass was tall on the paths.

Pleasant, easy circular loop. Lots of open areas, so perhaps best avoided in strong sunshine.

A short family walk with no great difficulty and superb views between woods, sunken paths and charming little hamlets. Impeccable description. Highly recommended.

An easy, short route lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes. A balance between forests and fields.
