Description of the walk

Park in the car park in front of the church.

(S/E) Take Rue de la Palue southwards, with the church on your left. Then turn right into Rue du Presbytère, pass the town hall and ignore the path on the left.

(1) At the very end of the street, turn left. Carry on straight ahead, ignoring the paths to the right and left.

(2) Cross the D11 near the cemetery and continue straight ahead. Ignore the two paths on the right, then the one on the left.

(3) Take the next left. Carry on straight ahead on the tarmac road, which rejoins at the access road to La Fuie.

(4) Turn right onto Rue de Vendôme, then left onto Rue de Villeclèche.

(5) Just before a small wood on the right, turn left. At the four-way junction (elevation 116), carry straight on.

(6) Take the track on the left and continue straight on towards Les Bordes. Pass through this hamlet to join the D92.

(7) Turn right onto the road and follow it carefully, then take the first field track on the right. Turn left at a 90° angle, then right towards a copse. Once you reach the corner of the copse (marker 124), turn left towards Pellebas.

(8) Follow the road to the left until you reach the junction with the D111. Make the first turn right then left to join the track between the fields. At the T-junction, turn left towards Rocé. Continue along Rue de la Bremaudière until you come out onto the D92 (Rue de la Caustière) at the first houses.

(9) Keep left and carry on straight ahead to reach the church and the car park (S/E).

A fairly long "short" hike, lots of plains and fields, quite a few false flats, quite windy that day, a breath of fresh air in the countryside... Good training for me as I aim to gradually increase my strength, distance and hiking time...

A short walk in the countryside; nothing particularly exciting to see or discover.

In fact, you always have to recalculate the altitudes before posting the walks. I think this is because altitude errors accumulate at each GPS measurement point when you record the track.

Thanks for the correction. There must be a problem with the elevation gain, as on another walk in the Loir-et-Cher I’ve got an elevation gain of 1,884 metres. I’ll need to have a closer look.
Have a nice day

Hello,
I’m really looking forward to this lovely walk. For now, I just wanted to point out that you’ll need to recalculate the altitudes and delete a line (waypoint (9)) that was automatically generated by Visorando and might be a bit confusing.
Have a lovely day.
