Description of the walk

Departure from the Crèvecoeur factory car park in Champgoulin - Corner of Rue des Buissonneaux and Rue de la Papeterie

Yellow markings along part of the route.

(S/E) Exit the car park on the Rue de la Papeterie side and turn left. Cross the bridge over the Grand Morin, then after about 120 metres turn left onto Rue du Gué Blandin. This road becomes a path at the entrance to the woods. Continue to the end and turn right down Rue du Faubourg, near the Château de Chauffour. Pass in front of the water treatment plant.

(1) About 300 metres from the treatment plant, take the grassy path on the right, which will take you through the underpass allowing you to cross the old railway line. Continue along the winding path, leaving the path on the right just after the tunnel exit, go to the end of the grassy path and take Chemin de la Montagne on the left.

(2) At the end of Chemin de la Montagne, take the RD66B on the left and then follow it to the right. At the corner with Rue de la Ferté Gaucher (D66), go up Avenue de la Gare on the right and pass in front of the old station.

(3) Opposite the gate of an industrial building, take the small path on the left that goes down the embankment and leads to the D66. Follow it for about 300 metres (take care) and turn left onto Chemin des Prés des Rois, which becomes a paved road towards the end.

(4) At the top of this road, turn left onto Rue des Brûlis to reach Place de la Chair aux Gens.

(5) Go down Rue des Orgeveaux on the right (be careful), cross the two bridges, one over the Grand Morin and the other over a branch of the river. Continue for about 60 metres after the second bridge, then go up Chemin de la Planchotte on the left.

(6) Take the first grassy path on the left that follows the Grand Morin river. Almost at the end of the path, it turns into a paved path. Leave the path that goes up to the right and pass in front of the winnowing machine

(7) Shortly afterwards, before reaching the end of this road, take a path that goes up to the right. At the top of this path, turn left onto Rue du Bouchet and follow it to the end. At the end, go down Rue de la Porte d'en Haut on the left and immediately turn right onto the paved path, which turns into a grassy path.

At the end, turn right onto Rue des Réservoirs and further up, turn left onto Rue de la Cave. At the end of this street, turn left down Route de Rebais. Cross the D66 and take the small stretch of road opposite the school.

(8) Turn right onto Rue du Champlat, then continue along Rue de la Fontaine sous Pierre. Pass behind the old paper mill and continue along Rue des Marais. Pass in front of the old factory chapel. About 80 metres after the chapel, turn right onto Rue des Hantes and at the top, turn right onto the D66 for about 80 metres (take care).

(9) From the D66, climb the grassy path on the left and you will come to a paved road, Route de Voigny. Go down it to the left. Enter the hamlet of Champgoulin and at the bottom, turn left onto the D66, then go down Rue de la Papeterie on the right, which will take you back to the car park (S/E).
