The starting point is in the central square of Vic, near the church, at the foot of the FFRP hiking route signpost.
(S/E) Head north-west towards the church, then take the Route du Stade (yellow markings).
(1) Go through the gate at the south entrance to the stadium and go around it on the right. Go through a second gate at the stadium exit and enter a wooded lane.
(2) At the crossroads, turn right to pass the houses of La Vicairerie, then continue straight ahead, crossing the D943 (very busy road) with care.
At Le Persil, continue straight ahead towards the east, crossing a small tarmac road. Join the D69 and take it on the right to the village of Saint-Chartier.
Turn left at the junction with the D918 and descend to the castle.
(3) Turn left onto Chemin des Dames, which goes around the village and returns to the D918. Then turn right to go back up towards the centre of the village and turn left towards the church.
Opposite the church, take theGRP® des Maitres Sonneurs trail on the right (yellow and red markings) and walk along the castle walls for 150 metres.
(4) Turn sharply left onto a grassy path between the houses.
TheGRP® turns right at the edge of a copse and continues straight on to the Carroir de la Place farm, which you cross to reach a carriage road.
(5) Turn right, heading south. At the junction with the D51E, continue straight ahead.
(6) After 200 metres, take the grassy path slightly to the right. At the hamlet of Le Chêne, continue straight ahead to join the D51, turning right towards Nohant.
At the next crossroads, take the street on the left.
(7) Immediately turn right into a small passage between the houses. You will arrive at the main square of the village of Nohant, where you can admire the chapel and George Sand's house.
Take the street running along the wall surrounding the house to the west, then turn left into Allée F. Chopin.
Cross the D943 carefully, walk along the car park heading south-east and turn right onto a grassy path.
(8) At the Buissons cross, leave theGRP® and follow the yellow markings, which veer sharply to the right onto a very wide grassy path.
At the end of this path, at a cross, you will arrive at the D51, which you will follow to the left for 150 metres. Turn right onto an uphill path.
(9) At the Boisseaux cross, turn left onto the path going downhill for 250 metres.
(10) Turn right onto a path bordered by a field on the left and a hedge on the right (small sign on the ground). Go around the field and then turn right into a small wood.
(11) At the next crossroads, go straight ahead northwards, then turn right to walk alongside a shed. You will then reach a small road which you cross to continue straight ahead into some undergrowth. The path then rejoins the small road after a short climb. Continue along the road to enter the village of Vic and return to the central square (S/E).
