Description of the walk

Park on Rue George Tondeur in front of the church in Quévy-le-Grand.

(S/E) With your back to the church, turn right onto Rue George Tondeur and walk a few metres. At house no. 31, covered in Virginia creeper, turn left onto the path overlooking the road and walk along the wall of the Ferrière farm.

(1) Continue straight ahead until you reach the white property (Château de Saint-Éloi).

(2) At the wall of the property, take the path leading to the right, cross the road and follow the path to the crossroads near the Chapelle Sainte-Barbe.

(3) Keep to the right as you pass the wind turbines and, at the crossroads, go straight ahead into the copse. Continue to the large white building, which is the Chant d'Éole wine storehouse.

(4) Turn right, walk past the wine storehouse and, near the N6, turn right again. Walk along the car park and then a pond. At the road, continue for about 50 metres.

(5) Take the path on the right, passing by the house. Follow this path towards the wind turbine, going up towards Rue Brice (N548). Cross it, go straight ahead towards Ferme de la Ferrière and walk along the wall.

(1) Turn left towards Quévy-le-Grand via the path overlooking the road to return to the car park near the church (S/E).

A lovely, entirely off-road walk with beautiful scenery and vineyards to discover.
In terms of location, I made a small mistake at (2) because there is no wall, but rather a hedge, but this was quickly corrected.
The barrier indicated before (4) only prevents vehicles from passing. I have added a photo if accepted.

Thank you for your feedback, Christine . I will check whether access to the grove is generally possible or whether I should modify the route in future.

A lovely walk through fields and vineyards. However, the path was closed before point 4. We therefore shortened the route by going directly to point 5 via the existing path shown on the map.
