Start from the free car park just after the primary school.
(S/E) Head north-west, cross the Rambouillet road (D906) (there is a traffic light and a pedestrian crossing on your right) and then take the small road directly opposite.
(1) At the intersection, take the small forest road towards Les Hautes Bruyères. When you reach the end of the forest on your right, turn onto the path through the fields that opens up on your left. Go straight ahead at the next intersection and you will arrive at an intersection on the edge of the forest at a place called La Mare Fabulet.
(2) Take the path on the right and follow it until you reach the road at the entrance to the hamlet of Les Roches, which you will cross by turning left.
(3) Turn left onto the path that goes up into the forest, just before the road that also branches off to the left, and turn right onto the cross path.
(4) At the crossroads, turn left and cross Route des Vallières to take the path directly opposite, which climbs between a large field on the left and a few houses on the right, leading to the heights of Épernon.
(5) At the crossroads, take the path on your left, then the one on the right at the next intersection.
(6) At the road, continue straight ahead and walk along the Plateau de la Diane neighbourhood on a small path that borders the gardens and offers a view of Épernon on your left.
(7) Take the stone steps down to the town centre. Be careful if you have children with you, as the steps are a little steep. Once at the bottom, continue down Rue à la Paille and then, just opposite, follow the very small Rue de la Regratterie.
(8) Just after the house on your left, you will find a small parking area which you cross to reach the urban footpath that runs alongside the Louis Drouet Primary School.
(9) When you reach Rue Nouvelle du Sycomore, cross it and take the small path directly opposite, which joins the Drouette river. Follow it to the right.
(10) Take Route du Grand Pont and follow it to the left. Stay on the pavement! At the roundabout, continue to the right towards the station, then take the street on the left and go up Chemin des Carrières towards the woods.
(11) At the top, take the path directly in front of you. Be careful, the one on the left is a dead end! Come out of the woods into a small housing estate.
(12) On the left, between two houses, you will see a path that descends steeply. Walk down it carefully and be vigilant if the ground is wet! Otherwise, there are no particular difficulties. Once at the bottom, cross the road and join Chemin de la Palombe opposite, slightly to your left.
(13) Enjoy the peace and quiet and shade of this little path that runs alongside the Drouette behind the houses. At the end of the meadow path, briefly return to the road on the left, pass Rue de la Mairie and take the path on your left just after.
(14) Cross the small bridge and turn right.
(15) After the stud farm, take the path that goes up on your left just before the gate of a house. Once at the top, at the intersection at the edge of the fields, turn right and then left across the fields towards the Malmaison farm opposite you.
(16) Go around the farm on the right, then take the path that leads into the forest. When you reach the railway line, follow it to the right until you reach the road to the hamlet of Le Fléau. Take this road to the left, then the path that continues along it, then the fork to the right.
(17) After passing under the railway line, turn right onto a small path between two houses, then come out in front of the Étang de Saint-Hilarion and join the car park 150 metres to your left, after the church (S/E).
