Description of the walk

The route starts at the village exit. You can park alongside the few detached houses just past the cemetery on Chemin des Monts de la Ville.

(S/E) With your back to the cemetery, set off across the fields towards the woods. Keep heading in the same direction, then negotiate a bend to the right before reaching a fork in the path.

(1) Don’t miss the narrow path that winds its way down to the left. Cross the Ru du Cochot, then keep left at the next junction to come out opposite the houses in Hervelon.

(2) Take the path on the left, covered in white gravel, which leads back towards Pévy. Continue through the woods, then along the edge of the woods to reach the village.

(3) Turn left to walk alongside the D575 (which has very little traffic) and head back towards Prouilly.

(4) Turn left onto Chemin des Monts de la Ville to return to the starting point (S/E).

As far as I can remember, there’s a strip of grass there and the road isn’t very busy. Your idea is certainly worth exploring. I think we could go round the last copse – which is on the right-hand side of the local road in question – via the right-hand side to get straight to Champagne Potaufeux, but that would make the journey longer...

The first section through the woodland is really lovely, but you’ll need a sat-nav as there are lots of junctions.
The return journey along the road and the D575 is far less pleasant. An alternative route back via Hervelon might be more enjoyable. Something to think about...

A pleasant walk, half of which is through the woods.
It’s easy to park in the cemetery car park.
Walking along the D575 is safe as the verge is wide and easily accessible.
PLEASE NOTE
After crossing the stream at the junction, do not turn left (this path is not marked on the map) but take the path on the right that goes uphill. It is only at the next junction that you should turn left.
