Park near Géraudot Beach.
Markings: Yellow
(S/E) Starting from Géraudot Beach, stay on the left-hand pavement and head towards the entrance to the village of the same name.
(1) Turn left onto Rue des Buchettes and enjoy the view of the lake. Walk past the elegant water tower.
After the church, cross the street and take the pavement on the left, then turn right onto the path. You will come to a crossroads.
(2) Take the white path to the left, go through the gate and, before the RD1, turn right to walk across the open fields. At the T-junction, turn left to reach the edge of a copse.
(3) Turn right towards the forest, which offers welcome shade. The path narrows until it becomes a trail. Pass between the ponds to reach the ditch of the small stream connecting two of the ponds.
(4) Turn left and walk along a private pond. Keep to the right after the pond and join the D43 road at the tip of the Étang Neuf.
(5) Cross the D43 and follow the small access road to the Domaine de la Forêt d'Orient, reaching the edge of the woods north of the Étang des Épargnés.
(6) Take the forest path on the right that runs alongside this pond. Please note that this path is very wet during winter and after heavy rain. Continue to the end of the pond.
(7) Walk along the grassy fields: crossing the plain offers beautiful views of the wet Champagne countryside with its grasslands and hedgerows. You will come out onto the D1 road.
(8) Cross it, taking care with the traffic, and continue straight ahead across the plain. You will reach the edge of the Closets woods.
(9) Turn right into the woods and walk leisurely to the Géraudot Beach car park (S/E).
