Parking lot located Grande Rue in front of the town hall.
(D/A) With your back to the town hall, turn right into the Grande Rue. Follow it and cross the level crossing. Just after crossing it, turn left onto the dirt road. Go up to reach a Y-shaped crossing.
(1) Continue up to the left. Reach a small road.
(2) Turn left. In front of the waste drop-off point des Fouets, take the street on the right for about 100 meters.
(3) Go left following Argenton. Pass the Rue des, Fortes Terres on the left. At the beginning of a curve on the left, take the path on the right (electric pole in the corner of the 2 streets). Turn left to the well and walk between the houses (the configuration of the site suggests that it is on private land). Join the previously abandoned road and turn right again to find a crow's footpath entrance.
(4) Go down to the left. Leave a start on the left. Pass by an old pumping station. Then, forget the lateral departures to reach the property of Villemorin-le-Haut. Shortly before the latter, turn right, cross an old sunken road and go down the dividing path between 2 fields. When you reach the crossroads, turn right onto the path. Join a road.
(5) Cross over to a fast right-left to get back onto a path lined with high hedges. At the Perreuse farm on your left, go down to join the road D950.
(6) Turn right and keep the shoulder straight staying very vigilant. At the lane on the left indicating Champeaux, cross carefuly road D950 and take the direction of this hamlet. Cross the railway, cross the Ouanne river and shortly after the right angle curve, continue about 100 meters.
(7) Turn left and go up on a rude path to reach a 4 roads cross with beautiful views.
(8) Go to the left. Reach a larger route going down on the right.
(9) Go slightly left to take it. Go past the Moulin de la Forge Neuve. Continue with one of the branches of the Ouanne below, which sometimes takes its ease in this valley. On the left, the Château de Dracy, draped in red brick, can be seen through the foliage. Shortly before the first houses, leave the path to the right. At the stop sign, join the Rue du Château and turn left crossing the road carefuly. Turn right onto the Grande Rue to reach the town hall and the parking lot (D/A).

Dracy has been known since antiquity for its metallurgical activity. The presence of ironworks and evocative localities (le Grand Trou, Argenton, les Fourneaux, etc.) bear witness to this past. A visit to the conservatory orchard in the heart of the village, close to the start, is a must for enthusiasts.
