The hike starts from the car park on Route de Saint-Mesmin, north of Pont Saint Nicolas, in Saint-Pryvé-Saint-Mesmin.
(S/E) Take Route de Saint-Mesmin on the left, then Rue Claude Joliot, which runs between two houses on the right-hand side of the bend towards Pont Saint-Nicolas. Follow this street, marked as a dead end, in a north-westerly direction.
(1) Turn onto the dirt track on the left just before Carmel de Micy and the Abbey. This track leads to the embankment designed to contain flooding from the Loire, which you will follow in a south-westerly direction until the first intersection with a track on the right where there is a car park.
(2) Take the path on the right until you reach the trail leading to Pointe de Courpain, which you will follow on the left, as close as possible to the banks of the Loire.
(3) At Pointe de Courpain, take the path in the opposite direction. Ignore the path leading to the car park and the embankment taken on the way there, and continue as close as possible to the river. Pass the place called 'la Rochelle'.
(4) Turn right onto the path at a place called Montauban. The path runs alongside pastures for horses before reaching the embankment, which you will take on the left. Pass a first place called 'les Champs Neufs'.
(5) Turn into the street leading right towards 'La Tuilerie Neuve'. Continue along this street until you reach a T-junction with Rue de la Cartaudière.
(6) Take this street on the right. At the Cartaudière crossroads, turn left onto Rue Roger Secrétain until you reach the intersection with the D951 (take care), the Route de Saint-Mesmin.
(7) Turn left onto this road, then turn right onto Rue des Déportés. Leave this street and follow Rue des Tacreniers to the right, which leads to Moulin des Tacreniers on the Loiret.
(8) Take the Sentier des Prés path on the right, which you will follow as close as possible to the Loiret. This path turns right until it meets Rue de Saint-Santin, which you will take on the left.
(9) Follow Rue de Saint-Santin, which gradually approaches the banks of the Loiret, until you reach the car park (S/E).
