Route between Logne and Boulogne in Saint-Colomban

A walk to explore the Saint-Colomban region between La Boulogne on one side and La Logne on the other. You’ll pass through a succession of paths—some wide, some narrow; some bright, some shady; some straight, some winding. You’ll pass through charming hamlets where the variety of houses will delight you. Not to mention the beauty of the landscapes, made up of fields, meadows, hedgerows and forests. A real treat in store.

Description of the walk

Head to the Espace Yannick Noah, Saint-Colomban.

(S/E) Opposite the hiking sign, slightly to its left, take the path that crosses the car park, passes between two buildings and turns left at a right angle before reaching another cross path.

(1) Turn right onto this path and you’ll arrive at a small clearing. Turn slightly left. Continue until you come to a path. Turn right onto this path and follow it to a path entrance on the left.

(2) Turn left and cross the Boulogne via a pretty bridge, then turn right and follow the river on your right (fence on your left). At one point, the path leaves the river, veering off to the left. A right-hand bend takes you onto Rue des Sables.

(3) Cross it using the pedestrian crossing on the left, then turn right towards the Boulogne. Cross it via a second bridge and immediately turn left onto a path leading to a small road, which you take carefully to the left. Pass a cross on your left, then cross the (barely visible) Bertinière stream via a bridge. A little further on, the path bends to the right and joins a road.

(4) Continue straight on along the path which veers left then right. Carry on straight ahead until you reach a small road.

(5) Turn left onto this road for a few metres, then, before a fork, turn sharp right onto a path. You’ll reach a crossroads; turn left onto the path which becomes a road. Cross La Renoulière and ignore a turn-off on the left to reach the D70.

(6) Cross it carefully and take the path on the right that runs alongside the road. After a few metres, turn left into a street that becomes a narrow path at number 9. Continue straight ahead. The path takes a sharp right-hand bend, then turns left again to reach Le Brûlot. Turn left onto a small road. At the fork, ignore the road coming from the left and continue right onto the road that runs alongside a large vineyard on your left. After a right-hand bend, look out for a path entrance on the right.

(7) Take this wide track straight ahead until you reach a road.

(8) Carefully turn left onto this road. Continue until you reach another road. Cross it very carefully to take the path opposite. Follow it straight ahead, ignoring a turn-off on the left, and you will arrive at Les Borderies.

(9) Go straight on along the path, which is quite narrow, winds a little and then takes a sharp right-hand bend. Continue until you reach a wide path.

(10) Turn left onto this path until you reach a road. Turn right onto the road. After a few metres, take the wide path that opens up on the left until you reach a road.

(11) Turn right and stay on the path running alongside the road on its right. You will reach a ‘Crossing’ sign. Cross very carefully and, on the other side of the road, take the path opening up to the left. The fairly narrow path bends first left then right, following the Logne river whilst keeping it on your left. Follow this path, which at one point veers away from the river by turning right. Join a new path coming from the left, turn right onto it and you will arrive at Rue Alfred Lalie.

(12) Cross the road carefully at the pedestrian crossing, then turn left onto the small path running alongside the road. A few metres further on, turn right onto a small path (poorly signposted). Continue straight ahead, pass Rue du Bois de la Noé (on your left) and arrive at Rue de la Vendée.

(13) Using the pedestrian crossing, first turn right then left and take a path that opens up on the left. Continue straight ahead, ignoring an entrance on the right, until you reach another path.

(14) Turn left and cross the D63 with care. Take Rue de la Green Cross and head towards the (S/E) at the Espace Yannick Noah.

A pleasant route, but not particularly exciting (a bit monotonous). You cross the countryside for about ten kilometres. Done in early March, quite a few sections with lots of puddles/mud on the ground. No particular difficulties, it's a fairly easy route.

We set off on this hike, but things didn't go as planned. After point 8 (in the direction of the route shown), after crossing the D178 to continue opposite, we had to turn back because the path was impassable due to the presence of Asian hornets... No point in taking any risks.
So we had to retrace our steps, and the hike ended up being 15 km instead of the 12 km initially announced.
Fortunately, we had done this hike before, as it is very pleasant and not particularly difficult.
Best regards, hikers

An interesting walk that lives up to its description: a variety of paths, pretty hamlets and lovely scenery. You reach the start by crossing the car park to the “Liaisons Douces” sign via a path that actually runs between two buildings. Don’t rely on the sign showing the walks available in the area. It is difficult to follow the route, particularly between points 9 and 11, due to lush vegetation and low footfall, but some resourceful walkers have had the good sense to tie marker ribbons high up to make the walk easier. The route is accompanied by birdsong and the croaking of frogs.

I went to check out this route on 12 October.
It’s very pleasant, very easy, with no particular difficulties, and no need for walking poles. The distance is 13 km rather than 12.170 km as stated… it’s a real pleasure.
I highly recommend it. Thank you for introducing me to it.
