No markings
Atthe first crossroads (elevation 169, isolated tree on the left), turn left. Walk eastwards between the fields. Pass the equestrian centre facilities and return to the tarmac road.
(1) At the T-junction, turn right onto Rue Raymond Bonheur, which soon becomes Chemin Rural n°17 (a small gravel road). At the end (elevation 162), turn left. Walk along a wood on your right, then between the fields. Enter a wood, turn right with the path and you will immediately come to a T-junction.
Red and green markings no. 6 (very rare)
(2) Then follow a wide forest path to the left. Ignore a path on the right, turn left with the main path and walk along the woods on your left. Continue straight ahead, pass a forest barrier and you will soon reach the tarmac road. At a small roundabout (beautiful old farmhouse on the left), turn right towards Magny-centre-bourg.
(3) Go around the next roundabout on the left, cross the D195 at the pedestrian crossing and follow it to the left, taking a small paved path that runs parallel to it. Ignore any paths branching off to the right. When you return to the D195, turn right onto Chemin Rural n°30. Continue straight ahead. After a forest barrier, the tarmac gives way to a path that descends slightly.
No markings
(4) At an intersection, turn left towards Magny-Village. Pass a small building on the right and follow a wide path that winds between meadows.
(5) At a crossroads, take thesecond right, the Route forestière de Mérancy, still heading towards Magny-Village. After about 300 m, follow the cycle signs on the right (leaving the direction of Magny-Village).
(6) At the crossroads after about 100 metres, take a path on the left and follow the Mérantaise river on your right (do not cross the river). Wind your way through the undergrowth. Note the reed bed on the left and the sandstone rocks on the slope of the opposite bank.
Red and green + yellow markings
(7) At a small stone bridge, continue straight ahead, keeping the river on your right.
Red and green markings no. 7 (rare)
At the next junction, turn right and cross the river. The path immediately turns left and winds through the undergrowth. Pass a spring (small masonry structure) on the left, exit the woods and reach the Mérantaise forest house.
(8) Then descend to the left along a wide stony path. Just before a small bridge, turn right, pass a wash house and follow the river on your left. At the wall, ignore a path on the right and continue along the river. At the next junction, turn left towards Magny-Village and cross the river via a footbridge.
No markings
A few dozen metres further on, turn right onto Chemin Rural n°2.
(9) About 150 metres later, take a sharp right onto a path that descends (do not follow Chemin Rural n°24 to the left). Cross the river again and pass between a spring on the left and an old wash house on the right. At the T-junction, turn left. Stay on the main path, ignoring all the side paths, and alternate between short ascents and descents. Walk along the left-hand side of the Mérantaise, which is now just a trickle of water, then a fenced-off pond. At a fork, turn left, go uphill, pass a forest barrier and you will come to a road.
(10) Follow the road to the left and downhill, initially on the well-defined left-hand shoulder. At the entrance to the pond, move over to the right-hand shoulder, which is more convenient and offers better visibility. Then stay behind the safety barrier on a narrow grassy path with a slight slope. After the sign marking the entrance to Magny-les-Hameaux, turn right onto Rue Paul et Jeanne Weiss. Go uphill, enter Brouessy and turn right with the road.
(11) When you reach a large house on the right-hand side, turn left onto Allée des Pommiers (dead end). Go through a chicane and continue along this small tarmac road. When you reach the D195, turn left onto this road. At the crossroads (chicane), continue straight on Rue Eugène Carrière. Then take thefirst right, Rue Ernest Chausson.
Yellow markings
Ignore the street coming from the left and immediately cross the D195 at the pedestrian crossing. Opposite, slightly to the right, take Allée de l'Orme au Berger. Continue straight ahead to the cemetery car park (S/E).
