Description of the walk

Park near the signpost marking the start of this circular route, in the Town Hall car park.

(S/E) On leaving the car park, turn left towards Saint-Aubin-des-Hayes and proceed to a junction of roads and footpaths.

(1) Take the road on the right and follow it straight on until you reach the crossroads at a place called Le Mesnil.

(2) Take the cul-de-sac on the right; the Mesnil farm is at the end of it.

(3) Turn around to return to the previous junction.

(2) Continue straight ahead towards La Sourderie. On the way, on the right, the Clos Mignon farm precedes a new crossroads.

(4) Turn left at a 90° angle onto the dirt track. Join the road to Sainte-Marguerite-en-Ouche, turn left onto it to reach the first crossroads you passed.

(1) Take the dirt track on the right into the woods. You’ll reach the Ferme aux Amaranthes slightly to the left. At the junction, take the road towards Granchain to reach another fork shortly afterwards.

(5) Turn left onto a dirt track running alongside a poultry farm. Follow the track and turn right onto the road leading to Le Plessis. You will reach a picnic area.

(6) Turn left near a pond, cross Le Plessis then Les Merisiers and reach a T-junction.

(7) Turn left to head back towards La Bissonnière and Sainte-Marguerite-en-Ouche. At the church, turn right to reach the town hall car park (S/E).

Actually, I’ve just recalculated the elevations and the route is relatively flat.
Thanks for pointing that out
Kind regards

A lovely walk to do with children
But there’s a problem with the elevation gain stated in the description. The path is fairly flat and you don’t actually reach 400 metres of total ascent and descent!
