Park next to the church in La Neuville-Chant-d’Oisel.
(S/E) Leave the church behind you and take the second street on the left, Rue de l’Ile. Continue until you reach Rue du Vivier.
(1) Follow this street to the left, following theGRP®® des Forêts de Haute-Normandie trail (yellow and red markings). The street continues as the Chemin du Battier; follow it to the crossroads of footpaths at elevation 150.
(2) Continue along the path almost directly opposite towards Le Bosquet; the yellow and red markings are present but not always visible. Cross a small road and reach a new junction at elevation 151. Then turn left onto Rue des Jardins.
(3) Turn right onto it and follow it to the roundabout.
(4) Turn left onto Rue des Andelys, then turn right immediately.
(5) At the fork in the road, veer right onto Rue de la Petite Cuette. Continue along a path, still marked in yellow and red, which leads into the forest. Stay along the edge of the forest and continue down the valley to a junction directly beneath a high-voltage power line.
(6) Then turn right and enter the Bois des Essarts. Stay on the main path (marked in red and yellow) and ignore all side paths. You’ll reach a road near a pumping station.
(7) Follow the road to the right. At the T-junction in the hairpin bend, follow the road sign to the left pointing towards Fontaine Guérard Abbey. A little further down, continue along this road and let theGRP®® branch off to the right. You will then reach Fontaine Guérard Abbey and its spring.
(8) Carry on along the road and you’ll come to another junction after about 150 metres.
(9) Turn left to admire the scenery and cross the small bridges over the Andelle.
(10) Retrace your steps.
(9) Turn left onto the small C92 road. As you follow this small road, you’ll pass the former Levavasseur cotton mill. The River Andelle runs parallel to this road. Join the GRP®® at a new pumping station.
(11) Turn right and follow theGRP®® again (yellow and red markings). Begin a short but steep climb through the forest to reach the Côte de Queyrue.
(12) Continue along theGRP®® to the right (the markings are on the wall of a small concrete building belonging to Veolia). Carry on climbing – the gradient is gentler here – until you reach the Grange aux Loups, which is on the left. The path ends at a small road.
(13) Leave theGRP®® and turn left onto the D294A. Ignore the small road on the right leading to the Ferme de Longboël and head for the Château Jacques Anquetil, at the junction with the D138.
(14) Take care here: turn right onto the D138, which is somewhat dangerous (it is better to walk along the bottom of the ravine). Continue to the small roundabout you crossed at the start.
(4) Turn left back onto the outbound route until you reach the GRP®® junction.
(3) Carry on straight ahead along Rue des Jardins until it becomes a path at the junction with Rue du Chouquet.
(15) Take Chemin des Hauts Jardins straight ahead. Carry on until you reach Rue des Canadiens; follow this until you join Rue de l’Ile, where there is a pond on the left. Turn right to return to the starting point via Rue de l’Église (S/E).
