Description of the walk

The starting point is at Place de la Mairie. A map of the route is available on the Place de Bomy. The route is signposted in red. Parking is easy.

(1) Follow it as it turns left. You’ll reach Rue du Moulin.

(2) Turn left onto this street, pass La Laquette and the mill, walk alongside a pond on your left and reach the bend in the street.

(3) Leave the street and turn onto an uphill path which joins another street.

(4) Turn left and follow this street to the next junction. Turn right onto Chemin de Rupigny, which runs alongside a stream, pass the hamlet of Rupigny and continue straight on until you reach a grassy path on the left.

(5) Take this path and it will lead onto a stony track, signposted GR®127.

(6) Take the path on the right and head uphill to a junction.

(7) At a bush, turn left onto the tarmac road and, 500 m further on, turn left again. The road leads to the hamlet of Grœuppe.

(13) Go down the road to the right, then take Rue des Marais on the right, until you reach the Sainte-Frévisse spring (picnic area).

A lovely walk combining exploration, nature and the great outdoors; the only slight downside is the lack of signposting along the way, but you can still find your way with the guide
Best done in dry weather, as the ground can be very slippery on some of the uphill sections, even with suitable footwear.

A lovely trail through the hills, woods and along streams. Part of the route through the woods was made difficult by the rain, which made the steep section very slippery.
