Crucheray walks

A walk in the Cisse valley with its natural spaces and woodlands! Peaceful and quiet! The landscapes in Molineuf are strongly structured by the Cisse river and by wooded hillsides overlooking the valley with its more or less steep slopes. Several mills punctuate the course of the river and reinforce its presence.

The route is fairly hilly, often through woods, around the two Petites Choisilles streams. A passage on the heights offers a pretty view of the village of Nouzilly and its wooded hills.

This walk in the grounds of Chambord begins by approaching the château along the left bank of the Cosson, continues along a small path winding through the forest and finally returns to the starting point via the right bank of the Cosson and the Pont Saint-Michel, offering a final, unforgettable view of the château.

This route through fields and forests will allow you to discover numerous ponds, as well as the Château de Rochefort and the charming hamlet of La Roche Bourdeil.

In the heart of the "wine-growing" region of Sologne, this route is mainly through forest, dotted with numerous ponds and offering some beautiful heritage sites.

The walk as described will therefore not be possible during the first quarter of 2019. Please check before setting off.
