Chemins d'Artistes 2024 au départ d'Égriselles-le-Bocage

Hello,
Les Chemins d'artistes is a temporary event (May-September 2024), so most of the artworks have indeed been removed. A few remain, but they are destined to disappear over time. They are not being maintained and will therefore be reclaimed by nature.
Regarding the path between points 6 and 7: when you leave the quarry, take the gravel path to the left that goes up into the fields; after about 50 metres, it turns right; this is a farm track. after 200 metres, turn left just before the orchard hedge that goes uphill, and follow this hedge to the road, which is straight ahead between the field and the hedge. This path is private, but the farmer and the local council allow access. It is much less frequented than last year, so it should be much more overgrown. Nevertheless, if you take it, you will see that young fruit trees have been planted in the hedge orchard, which is intended to be a conservation orchard.
We hope this has alleviated your disappointment.
To give you hope for the future, we are preparing new Artists' Paths for 2026. Follow the news of the Le Ruban Vert association!

Hello,
Thank you for these clarifications. The route has been recalculated, as have the start and finish points. Regarding the artworks, the local association may be able to remedy this.

Hello,

I have walked this trail and noticed that the route between points 6 and 7 is incorrect for reaching the road.
There is no path going uphill after point 6 to reach the road. If you follow the route on the map, you end up right in the middle of farmland.
There is actually a path further to the right that joins the road.
So you have to start from point 174 and go up about 200 metres to reach a path.
Then turn right again for about 200 metres, then go up to the left for about 300 metres to reach the road.
I should also point out that just after point 6, where you turn off to go inside and admire the artworks, there are no artworks, the signs are all on the ground and, on top of that, there are no directions and no path.

A very beautiful walk with surprising and magical artworks. We did the walk with children and the artworks sparked a lot of interest.

Hello,
You must have missed the second part of the path that starts at the quarry (after the natural feature known as "Clématites") and climbs up through the wheat fields, then along an old orchard that has become a coppice hedge, up to Cornant and back down again, then up again to Egriselles. We will double-check and redo the signposting for this second part!
Come back after 14 July!
In terms of forest continuity, Egriselles is one of the places where there is indeed work to be done to restore it, but land ownership is often an obstacle, with farmers preferring large plots. This gives an idea of what "restoring or building the green network" means... It will require a great deal of effort and patience – raising awareness through Chemins d'artistes is part of these efforts.
Thank you for visiting!
Yours sincerely.
Claire, from Ruban Vert

The green ribbon was rather disappointing compared to the route two years ago, both in terms of the works on display and the route itself. The tour of the quarry was interesting. There was no indication of continuity when leaving the quarry, so it needs to be reviewed, done or redone. We found ourselves in the wheat fields. Well, at least it made for a nice walk!

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! The hike takes place on public rural paths. The only private path used belongs to the municipality of Egriselles-le-Bocage. We have requested permission from the owners of the plots of land on which some of the artworks are located.

A very good route, interesting for the artworks but also for the variety of the route, which combines hamlets, villages and plains
What is your reaction to the February 2023 law on the use of private paths?
