A walk in the sunshine at a temperature of 30°C, but covering around ten kilometres in open country
Beautiful castles such as Blandy-les-Tours, Andrezel (private) and Aunoy (private), and a small river
to walk alongside, the Ancoeur
A walk best undertaken in autumn or spring

Hello,

Two quick comments: (point 10) After the Ferme des Loges and after passing a path on the left and another on the right, the path straight ahead is rather overgrown and the grass is quite tall, so you might think this isn’t the right way: but you really must carry on straight ahead.
- It might be worth adding to the description – even though the map is very clear – that you need to follow the three sides of the castle wall at Aunoy (point 12).

This walk is truly brilliant. You can get inside the Notre-Dame-du-Roublay chapel by lifting the latch. There’s a slight smell of horse droppings. We’re rewarded with a magnificent view at the end of the walk. I’m 22 and in the prime of my life; I completed it in just over 5 hours.

Enjoy the walk, everyone, and thank you to those who suggested this one.

A first for Seine-et-Marne. There are a few too many fields, but passing through some of them is well worth the detour. A much-loved circular route that avoids any unnecessary detours. And Blandy Castle is simply magnificent!
