Description of the walk

Start from the church of Saint-Martin-Villenglose.

(S/E) On the D27, with the church behind you, head towards the right then turn immediately left onto a stony path just before a small house. Walk past this small house, then turn right. Walk for about 70m past the buildings. There, a grassy path branches off to the left.

(1) Take the grassy path lined with trees. Walk for about 250m (note that part of this path is not shown on the map) to reach a junction. There, turn right and continue straight on to come out onto a small tarmac road. At the junction, turn right and follow this road for about 250m. You will then reach a junction with the D27.

(2) Cross the D27 (be careful, as vehicles travel at high speed) and take the small tarmac road that branches off to the left of the cemetery. Continue straight on for just over 300m and, after passing the buildings at the hamlet of Le Pâtis, turn right onto a grassy path lined with trees. Follow this path for about 1km until you come to a bend where it joins a small tarmac road at the hamlet of Le Chêne.

(3) Turn right onto this small road, go round a 90° bend to the right, pass the buildings at the hamlet of La Blanchardière and continue straight on. About 300m further on, ignore a small road branching off to the left towards Bois Mizan and continue straight on until you reach a tree-lined path branching off to the left.

(4) Take this path and follow it to the end (about 850m). The path leads onto a tarmac road (D27).

(5) Turn right onto the tarmac road and continue straight on for about 200m to reach the church of Saint-Martin-Villenglose (S/E)

A short, peaceful and pleasant walk; the final section of the path had not been cleared by the end of May 2023, so there is tall grass and nettles

The description of the start is unclear, especially as the yellow markings are barely visible in both directions.

In winter, this route is often flooded, much like the Mottes route (from Saint-Denis d'Anjou), but it must be very scenic and well-covered in summer.
