At the second junction, take the street on the right and then immediately left, up a small flight of steps, to reach the square in front of Bromeilles church, nicknamed the Mont Saint-Michel of the Gâtinais because, perched on a hilltop, its bell tower can be seen from a great distance ( S/E).

Please note: as the route follows farm tracks, the yellow markings are sometimes absent in the field sections due to a lack of signposts. It is essential to carry a map of the route before setting off.

Please wear walking boots as some sections may be damp, depending on the season.

Route created in collaboration with the Loiret Departmental Tourism Committee and the local authorities along the route.
