From Sougères to Lainsecq via La Montagne

Start from the Place de l’Église.
Head east towards Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines. Turn right onto the Route d’Etais, then leave the road and take the path on the right, which leads to a small tarmac road; turn left onto this.
Leave this road and, before reaching the village of Chauminet, take a small grassy track that leads into the village. On the main street, head up to the right and, at the junction a few metres past the pond, take the street on the right, then the path on the left.
This path leads to the old Roman road; turn left at the ‘carrefour des 5 chemins’ junction (1) – be careful to take the path furthest to the left! – On the uphill stretch, there is a hidden little track (2) leading to an old underground quarry.
When you reach the junction with a small tarmac road, follow it for 200 metres to the right, then leave it again and turn right onto a small tarmac road which continues as a dirt track. Keep going straight on until you come to another small road, then take the path opposite. At the end of this track, you’ll come to a small road; take the path on the left, which goes through a wood and joins the main road.
Take this road to the right for 150 metres and follow the one-way street through Vaurimbert and then La Montagne. At the bottom of the hamlet, you’ll pass the St Martin fountains (4) and continue on to the Place du Champ de Foire.

A route suitable for all seasons, but ensure you wear suitable footwear. There is no water along the route.
This route can be completed by mountain bike.

Stunning panoramic views from the Roman road (3).
There are numerous springs and wash houses in the surrounding villages.
