Park in the car park at the Grand Place near the post office on the edge of Rue Nationale.
(S/E) From the Grand Place, cross the main street and head straight ahead into Rue des Écoles, which is marked with a no-entry sign. Rue des Écoles turns right to run alongside the Mont-près-Chambord primary school, then left to lead onto a footpath. Follow the footpath to the sports hall, then cross Rue du Bellaugeon and continue along the footpath opposite.
(1) Keep left at the fork as if heading for the swimming pool, then ignore the path on the left and stay on the main, busier track. Turn left onto the side track running alongside a vineyard, then right onto the next side track, the Chemin des Prés de la Fontaine. Turn right onto the hard-surfaced track running alongside the campsite.
(2) Turn right onto the side street, Rue du Gué, then left after about 50 metres onto Rue du Vardet. At the Gaubodière crossroads, leave the tarmac and take the grassy path on the right. Cross Rue du Bournigal and continue straight ahead on the narrower grassy path. Pass the first crossroads, then take the left-hand side path to reach the Route des Ponts d'Arian (D154).
(3) Turn right onto Route des Ponts d'Arian, then keep right at the fork onto the narrower road, Rue de la Giraudière.
Red and white markings (GR®3)
(4) In the hamlet, turn left at the crossroads onto Rue de Meneuil, following the GR®3C markings towards Chambord. Head left onto the Route des Ponts d'Arian, then right onto the Allée de la Duchesse de Châteauroux, which leads into the Forest of Boulogne. Go through the gate, cross the D923 with care and continue straight ahead.
(5) At the Châtillon crossroads (a T-junction), do not go straight on but veer slightly left onto the grassy path known as Allée de Jehan de Châtillon. Ignore the various offshoots until you reach the Reine crossroads (a T-junction).
End of signposting
(6) At the Carrefour de la Reine, turn left onto a grassy path at a right angle, the Allée du Parc, between the Allée de Boulogne and the Allée de la Reine de Navarre. The Allée du Parc turns left and then crosses the Allée de Benne.
(7) At the junction with the Allée de Benne, do not continue straight ahead but turn slightly right onto the grassy path known as the Allée du Bois Carré. This crosses the D177 and then becomes a wide, compacted track as it passes through a coppice.
(8) At the star junction, turn left at a right angle onto the tarmac-surfaced Chemin des Prairies de la Corne. This intersects Rue des Martineaux, which you will take to the right, with your back to the town hall. Turn immediately left, then right to return to the Grand Place car park near the post office, the starting point of the walk (S/E).
