Enigmatic trail in the Canteleu Monumental Forest

Get off the TEOR T3 at the Hôtel de Ville - Jaurès station

(S/E) Walk up Avenue du Président Allende, with the church tower on your right. Continue to the Charles Gounod College roundabout.

(1) Turn opposite, onto Route Forestière des Coteaux, enter the forest and reach a crossroads in the shape of an inverted Y.

(2) Turn right and continue for about 200 metres. Take the path on the left and continue straight ahead until you reach the end of the path. First turn left then right, and you will quickly reach a T-junction.

(3) Take the path on the right (not the one on the left; do not follow the monumental forest route) and, along a straight section, join the Route Forestière au Lapin path.

(4) Take this path on the left. Then turn left again at the next crossroads. When you reach the D86, turn left onto the Route Forestière de Saint-Georges and, following another straight section, you will reach the Arsène crossroads.

(5) Turn left (Route au Renard), heading south, until you reach the Sentier Botanique crossroads.

(6) Turn right, then at the crossroads, take the path on the left until you reach the departmental road, then cross the D94 (short passage, step over a tree trunk). Continue along this path, turn right, then left and you will reach the junction with the GR®2.

(7) Follow it to the left, crossing the Route Forestière de Saint-Jean. Continue until you reach the junction of these two paths.

(8) Leave the GR® and its red and white markings here and take the Parcours Sportif on the left. Follow a series of bends to reach the roundabout junction you passed at the very beginning of the hike.

(1) Turn right and retrace your steps to return to the TEOR station (S/E).

Find the clues on the trail:

Clue No. 1: After observing and testing artwork No. 1, head to the picnic table. A clue may be hidden near one of the four legs.

Clue No. 2: The^second clue is hidden in the acorn

Clue No. 3: Next to the large hut, at the foot of a tree trunk, clue No. 3 is hidden

Clue No. 4: At^{the third} camel, the one at the end, look at the tree trunk to its right (if you are facing the same direction as the camel). Behind this tree trunk, you will find a clue

Clue No. 5: Once you have crossed the avenue of painted trees, look for the last tree on the right (it is purple in colour). Almost at its base, a small shrub (holly) will be hiding the clue. (Be careful, it pricks!)

Clue No. 6: Near or opposite the artwork called "Compluvium", a tree with two trunks, there is a drawing that resembles a prehistoric painting. A pebble is hidden between the two trunks

Clue No. 7: In the large rope hut, under one of the benches, the penultimate clue is hidden

Clue No. 8: On the path, opposite the noisy river, the last clue is hidden by a small log
