Description of the walk

Starting point: Impasse des Jouveaux. Parking available at the side of the road.

(S/E) Head down into the forest until you reach a crossroads about fifty metres from the edge of the woodland.

(1) Turn right onto the path that runs past a few houses and continue to the sewage treatment plant.

(2) Head back up to the right, go round the sewage treatment plant by turning left and walk alongside it until you re-enter the woods. At the first houses in Offranville, take the path on the left leading down into the woods.

(3) Carry on straight ahead, cross the clearing, then head slightly to the right.

(4) Please note: leave the path and head down towards the field on the right, which you will then follow to reach Rue d’Offranville. Continue to the left; after barely 50 metres, turn immediately right onto a path running alongside a house. Just past the house, turn right again, keep going straight on, then walk along the meadow until you come out onto Rue d’Offranville.

(5) Head to the left and, after 100 metres, turn right to re-enter the woods and rejoin the path you took earlier.

(3) Head to the right, but do not go down to the clearing you crossed on the way there. This time, turn left to go down to another clearing; follow this to reach the Route Forestière de Mesnil. Continue to the left to reach the Mesnil crossroads (sign).

(6) Take the path behind the sign and follow it straight on.

(7) Walk past a cave (take a short detour to have a look at it without going inside), then carry on.

(1) Go straight on to return to the starting point at Impasse des Jouveaux (A/D).

A beautiful route through forest.
200 metres of tarmac to get to and from the trail. Magnificent trees and peace and quiet. A great place to spend some time in dry weather. In rainy weather, it must be more difficult... Thank you to whoever discovered this beautiful walk.

It’s a shame, as the walking route runs mainly through woodland

A 6km stretch of the route was not used; the path had disappeared.
It’s a shame because the walk is through the woods, but having to make our way through nettles, brambles and so on turned this stroll into an obstacle course.

The paths were hard to see and there were no signposts at the junctions. We weren’t able to stick to the route. As the cave wasn’t signposted, we didn’t spot it. On the plus side, as it was hot, this walk was pleasant as it was mainly through the forest.

Route usage; some paths are difficult to see due to the vegetation.

The walking route runs mainly through woodland and there is a lack of clear signage at junctions, which can lead walkers to go round in circles several times.

Otherwise, the route itself is a very pleasant walk.

Thanks to the Pasapas association
