Description of the walk

Departure from the Town Hall of Saint-Ouen-sous-Bailly, located right next to the church.

(S/E) Cross the bridge and at the end of the road, turn left until you reach a descent.

(1) Turn right onto a path between the fields. This path climbs up into the Bois de Farival.

(2) Still in the woods, you will come to a fork where there is a kind of transformer; turn left. Continue for about 400 metres.

(3) At the second intersection (second plot), turn left and descend through the woods. Continue across the fields until you reach a road.

(4) Turn right and then take the second left, which turns almost at a right angle. Continue straight ahead, crossing the bridges, until you reach the church tower and the car park (S/E).

A pleasant hike that ends with a delightful stroll through the village of Saint-Ouen-sous-Bailly along the Le Bailly-Bec stream. Calm, varied and relaxing.

At 4, following the blue markings, take the first left (Rue du Gué), then continue along the river.

Lovely walk. Interesting and pleasant walk through the village on the way back, with its magnificent Norman houses and fords.

Easy route (we are 72 years old), mainly along off-road paths with fairly gentle slopes. Crossing the forest is enchanting, as is the route through the village, along the Bec with all its little bridges over the old fords (which we can now cross without getting wet!).

With pleasure. Although I haven't done many walks with Visorando yet, I really like the route descriptions and especially the value of the maps that accompany them.
Congratulations and thank you to the 'suppliers'.
Keep up the good work!

Route des Gués. Pleasant walk.
Description, two inaccuracies:
- Point 2: "Continue for about 100 metres." It's more like 400 metres.
- Point 3: "At the second, turn left..." At the second what? In my opinion, at the second firebreak.

Hello,
For us, it's perfect: woods, plains and magnificent rivers. Honestly, it's a must-do. 1 hour 45 minutes, beautiful deer tracks.

Kind regards, TATOUT
