A very pleasant route, which we rounded off with a circular route via the commandery.
Also worth noting is the Romnel goat farm along the route.

A pleasant walk, but flat and through a lot of rather monotonous fields. Up to point 5, it follows a PR trail marked with yellow signposts. After that, the route description becomes unreliable because, in the fields, the paths can change depending on farmers’ activities. In the final section, the route description is confusing and unusable: it’s best to know the area well and be able to use a compass to find your way back to the starting point. It’s a shame, as there are very clear street signs in the village of Coupigny. In this case, it would have been enough to write: follow the tarmac road northwards until you reach Chemin du Bois Huon, which you’ll take on the left. After about three hundred metres, you’ll come to a T-junction: turn left at a right angle, heading south (Saint Martin des Champs is then about 900 metres away).

Hello Lucie,
I’m surprised to hear about the problem at the start of the walk. You simply need to go down the road, turn left at the house and follow the path – there’s no castle in that area.
There are also no busy roads; the ones people do use are very quiet and are just ‘rough tracks’. I think you may have set off in a different direction, as the only road with heavy traffic is the D934, which is completely off the route, several hundred metres away.
Could you please give me some details on the map so that I can check?
Thank you
Alain

Hello
I’ve been a bit slow to reply as I’m not yet familiar with the email system.
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to start this walk from a railway station, as the SNCF line was closed down years ago. You’ll need to get to Coulommiers station and then take a coach to get there.
Kind regards
Alain

A pleasant walk through a lovely forest. The map isn’t very clear at the start when it comes to following the road around the castle. It’s a shame to have to walk along a busy road to reach the end of the route. We went through a small village a little further on to avoid the dual carriageway.
