From Entrammes, take the D233 to the village of Maisoncelles-du-Maine. Park in the car park by the Salle des Fêtes.
(S/E) Take the path towards the observatory and walk round the pond. Cross the footbridge, then turn right onto the road (Rue d’Anjou) to reach the church.
(1) Turn left towards the north-west onto Rue de Bretagne. Follow this road to the cross and continue straight on to the next junction.
(2) Turn left, reach a three-way junction and take the right-hand lane. Continue straight on, then turn right at the first junction onto a tree-lined path opposite the buildings on the left-hand side of the road at a place called Les Ponts Lochard. Follow this path until it joins a small tarmac road at a bend near a place called Bel-Air.
(3) Turn left onto this small road, then carry on straight ahead to join another tree-lined track. You’ll come out onto the D23; turn left. Ignore the first track on the right and take the second one.
(4) Turn right onto the gravel track just after the hamlet of Sauloup. Cross the stream and begin the climb. The gravel track takes a 90° bend to the right; follow it. You will then pass a first farm on the right, then a second on the left, before reaching a three-way junction.
(5) Take the left-hand track. After just under 300 m, the road curves to the left and a track branches off straight ahead. Take this track and follow it until it joins a small tarmac road at the hamlet of Le Rocheray.
(6) Turn left, then immediately right onto a country lane. This lane curves to the left and a path branches off straight ahead: take this path and continue straight on, leaving the buildings at the hamlet of La Biottière on your left, until you come out onto a small tarmac road. Carry on straight ahead along this road until you reach a junction with another tarmac road after the hamlet of La Beuchetière.
(7) Turn right onto the road and continue to the hamlet of Le Grand-Aulnay, situated on the right-hand side of the road: please note that on the map it is marked as “Grand Aunay”.
(8) Just as you reach Le Grand Aulnay, a stony track branches off to the left. Take this track and carry on straight ahead until you come to a small tarmac road at the hamlet of Les Sinandières. Carry on straight ahead until you reach a junction with another tarmac road.
(9) At the junction, turn right to reach another junction with a wayside cross opposite.
(10) Turn left to head north-east and, after 25 m, turn off onto a tree-lined track branching off to the right: please note, this track is not shown on the map. Carry on straight ahead until you reach a T-junction with another track. Follow this track to the right until the first junction.
(11) Turn right, then turn left at the farm in the hamlet of La Rouillère to come out onto a small tarmac road. Turn right to reach the village, pass the cemetery on your right and return to the starting point (S/E).
