Description of the walk

Start from the car park in front of the town hall.

(S/E) Follow Rue Georges Renard towards the church. At the church square, turn right (either into the small alley next to the church or into the street to the right of the old bakery). When you reach the road (Rue du Point du Jour), turn left. Continue along this road until you reach the crossroads.

(1) Then turn left and continue along Rue du Point du Jour (D112) towards Chevru. After about 200 metres, take the road that climbs to the left. When you reach the D15, follow this road to the left for about 200 metres.

(2) Take the road on the right that runs alongside the cemetery and quickly becomes a path. Ignore a path on the left and continue straight ahead until you reach the edge of the forest. The path then turns left; follow it straight ahead, into the woods and then along the edge.

(3) Shortly before the end of the forest, take a sharp left onto a grassy path that enters the forest. Follow this path until you reach a field with a view of the village on your left. Continue straight ahead and re-enter the forest.

(4) When you reach the road, turn right and walk a few metres. Then take the path on the left that runs alongside the meadow. When you reach a crossroads at the edge of the woods, turn left and follow the path to the end.

(5) When you reach the D15, turn left, keeping to the right-hand side of the road. About 50 metres further on, a path begins on the right. Take it and cut diagonally left across the meadow to reach Rue du Moulin, located slightly below. When you reach Rue du Moulin, turn right and follow the path. Cross the bridge over the Aubetin and continue straight ahead.

(6) When you reach the road in the hamlet of Courcelles, turn left. Continue until you reach the D112. Turn left. Immediately after, on your right, there is a dirt track. Take it and continue to a crossroads.

(7) Turn onto the first path on the left that leads into the woods. When you reach the road, turn right and follow it until you come to a crossroads. Turn left and you will find the town hall car park on your right (S/E).

Notes

Bring water (the bakery has been closed for years).
Wear hiking boots.
The route follows marked hiking trails and unmarked but very passable paths. Some paths become muddy, even very muddy, after days of rain (especially those in the forest). Spring and summer are the best times to go.

Please note: the local roads are quite busy at certain times (evenings during the week) and cars can drive fast.
At 5, there is a dangerous section with poor visibility on both sides, and cars drive fast. Cross with caution!

Worth a visit

Saint-Pierre-et-Sainte-Flodoberthe Church, dating from the 11th century with elements from the 16th century.

Résidence de l'Aubetin, former Dominican convent. (to the right of Rue du Point du Jour, just in front of the pond).

Lovely view of the village.

Les Bois du Pavillon. Animals: deer, emus, llamas... (they are not always visible, head towards Château Le Pavillon).

Château Le Pavillon (private residence, not open to visitors). To see it, continue along the D15, turning right instead of left. It is located a few hundred metres further on, on the right. Animals.

An interesting and varied route
And as the trail is well marked, it's easy to cut across the fields.

The surroundings of the village are rather unremarkable, but there are beautiful views of the village itself.
The path that turns sharply at point no. 3 has not been cleared, so we cut across the fields.

Easy hike
At point No. 5 in the description after elevation 119, the path does not exist. You must cut across the hillock in the meadow towards Aubetin to rejoin the PR
An alternative route is possible after La Tuilerie, starting at point 132, continuing straight ahead towards point 138, then turning left towards the centre of Amillis, passing close to a place called Le Champ Blanchard.

A pleasant hike with no difficulty whatsoever. One small drawback is that the paths through the meadows and fields are not currently maintained (tall grass).
Lovely view of the village of Amillis.
