Circular route via Orveau from Bouville

This hike, which is not particularly difficult, takes place mainly in the woods, which is very pleasant in summer.

Description of the walk

Departure from the Bouville leisure centre car park

(S/E) Join the cycle path and head north-east, cross the D145 with caution, and take the small road towards Orveau.

(1) At the corner of the fence, take the path furthest to the right.

(2) When you see the road on your right, turn left at a 90° angle and continue on the main path until you reach a clearing near a car park.

(3) When you reach the clearing, take the path on the right twice to the left. At the end of the path, turn left and stay on this path until you reach a junction with a wide path.

(4) Continue right on a wide path marked in yellow. At the edge of the woods, go through a metal gate and continue on the left along the edge of the field. After about 300 metres, turn left and carefully cross Route de Nonserve and continue to follow the yellow markings until you reach Route du Mesnil Racoin.

(5) Cross the road carefully, take the second path on the left and continue along the edge of the fields.

(6) After a wide right-hand bend, take thefirst path on the left until you reach a crossroads with four paths.

(7) Turn right onto Chemin de Papillon, cross the D837 with caution, continue straight ahead on Rue de Papillon, take Rue de Puiselet and turn left onto Chemin de Tirlorée.

(8) Go behind the old Bouville railway station, cross the D837 with caution, take the alley opposite and then turn left onto Rue de Villiers. Continue for 10 metres and take the narrow path to the right of the street lamp, then turn right onto Rue de la Mairie.

(9) Pass to the left of the playground and continue straight ahead, following the blue markings.

(10) Leave the blue trail on your left, cross the D145 with caution, and reach the car park (S/E) via the cycle path.

There is a small problem at the start of the hike: it seems you have to follow the fence on the left that starts from the road. This passage is unclear and we ended up following the road to join the route a little higher up at the first village we came to. After that, no problems.

An interesting and varied route; beautiful views over the Bouville plain; a few mountain bikers, but otherwise no one else.

The only concern: half of the path between the D145 and point 3 is missing from the IGN maps.

The exceptionally clear description deserves special mention: many thanks.
