Circular in the Bord-Louviers forest

Circular loop in the Bord-Louviers forest via the old Route d'Elbeuf. This is a season when the forest seems both alive and peaceful, with animals bustling about before winter, mushrooms sprouting from the ground and trees losing their leaves.

Description of the walk

Parking and departure Route d'Incarville, Carrefour des Quatre Bancs.

(S/E) Turn left onto Route Forestière des Longres, following the blue and yellow arrows. Continue straight ahead for 820 m until you reach a T-junction.

(1) Turn right and continue until you reach a bend with an iron chain blocking access to the left. Ignore the path on the right, first turn right then left and descend to the T-junction at the bottom of the hill.

(2) Turn right and continue for approximately 610 m to reach plots 263 and 262. Turn right onto a small uphill path and, at the first landing, continue straight ahead to the next X-shaped junction. Cross the Route Forestière des Longues Raies and continue straight ahead, passing plot 230 on your right with the GR® sign, along the grassy path. At the end of the path, at the T-junction, turn left onto the old Route d'Elbeuf and continue to the X-junction with the Route d'Incarville.

(3) Cross over and continue straight ahead for about 2150 m, always going straight. First, take a wide lane, then a narrower path that you follow downhill until you reach a forest gate and a house on your left.

(4) Turn left, following the yellow markings, onto a small uphill path. Continue along this path for about 780 m, ignoring the paths branching off to the right and left, until you reach a wider lane, Route forestière de la Mare Corbet.

(5) Turn left between plots 296 and 292. Follow this path, ignoring the turnings on the right and left, for about 1,360 metres until you reach plot 286, Route Forestière des Longues Raies.

(6) Turn left and continue to the car park (S/E).

Hello,
the starting point and car park are located at the crossroads of the four benches, easily accessible via the D313. The Sanofi factory was never mentioned in the description, even though we pass close to it during the route.
Best regards

The starting point, which is very difficult to find, no longer corresponds to the IGN map
the location (already old) of the SANOFI factory does not allow you to go directly to the crossroads of the 4 benches.
That's okay, we'll do the route again, using our own markers.
