Circular loop via the Bouvigny mast

Parking available in front of the sports hall, Rue Tetelin, in Servins.

(S/E) Opposite the sports hall, turn right, then left at the crossroads. Turn left again onto Rue de la Mairie.

(1) At the junction, take Rue de Gouy on the right, follow the road past the cemetery, then turn left onto Chemin du Paradis. At the next junction, turn left onto Chemin de Bouvigny.

(2) Head up this path to the left, cross Chemin des Loups and take the wooded path directly opposite. Join the D75.

(3) At the bend, on Route de la Colline, turn right, crossing quickly and carefully. Take the path on the left; this is Chemin de la Claire Fontaine. Continue straight on until you reach the houses and stables.

(4) Turn left and then left again opposite the white house. Head uphill (yes, it’s going to be a climb!) towards the mast. You’ll reach a crossroads.

(5) Turn left onto the cycle route towards the mast and walk to the foot of the mast.

(6) Cross the D75 very carefully and continue along the cycle route (Chemin des Loups) for about a hundred metres. Turn right onto the path leading back down towards Servins. Join Rue de Bouvigny.

(7) Follow it to the left, passing the chip shop and the Paradis lockers, and continue straight on until you reach the junction by the church.

(1) Cross over and, following the route back in the opposite direction, return to the sports hall (S/E).

Parking is available at the start of the walk.

Cross Route de la Colline twice with care.

There is a steep climb between Hersin and the cycle route.
