Doulevant-le-Château walks

A walk steeped in history, as we pass through Doulevant-le-Château, where Napoleon stayed on two occasions. We also pass through Villiers-aux-Chênes, home to an ancient Merovingian cemetery, and finally through Dommartin-le-Saint-Père, where you can visit the Foundry Museum.

Explore the plateau between Baudrecourt and Dommartin-le-Saint-Père and its many wind turbines, passing through Baudrecourt. Enjoy the pretty old stone houses, now renovated. You can also see a watercress bed in the Blaiseron riverbed.

This walk leads to Brachay, the birthplace of Philippe Lebon (1767), inventor of lighting gas produced by distilling wood. A bust in his honour stands in front of the town hall, and two houses that once belonged to him can also be seen.

A short, bucolic walk in the forest between Bailly-aux-Forges and Laneuville-à-Rémy. Most of the route is in the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. In winter, the southern part can be a little damp.

From Mathons to Morancourt via the Bois des Convers and back via Haut de la Maize, making for a lovely, undulating walk through plains and woodland teeming with roe deer. You can’t complete the entire walk without spotting several.
