The walk starts from the car park behind the town hall and the school in Fontaines-en-Sologne, signposted from the main street or Route de Bracieux.
(S/E) From the car park, head down towards the main street, passing the town hall as you make your way towards the church in the direction of Soings-en-Sologne. Follow the roundabout.
(1) Turn right onto Rue de la Bondonnière just past the half-timbered house (pub), with your back to the church gate. After 300 metres, at the fork in the road, leave the road by keeping to the right onto the gravelled track towards the astronomical observatory. Continue along the track past the observatory. Follow the most well-trodden path until you come to a wide gravelled track.
(2) Turn left onto the gravel track. This track takes two right-hand bends.
(3) Leave the gravel track at the Fork in the road where it heads towards Bois Trémal, continuing straight on along the grassy path until you come to a tarmac road crossing it.
(4) Turn left onto the tarmac road and pass Les Ogonnières. The road gives way to a hard-surfaced track that runs alongside the Étang du Grand Cottereau, before eventually joining a cross-track.
(5) Turn left onto the cross-path, known as the Chemin des Ogonnières. Follow this well-marked track.
(6) Carry on straight ahead at the crossroads, still on the Chemin des Ogonnières.
(7) Leave the Chemin des Ogonnières just before La Bondonnière by turning right at the junction. The path runs alongside the Étang Neuf
(8) As soon as you reach the first houses, turn left onto the gravelled lane known as Rue de la Soye and carry on straight ahead at the crossroads onto the tarmac road leading to the Route de l’Arche (the main road), which you’ll join on the left.
(1) Walk past the church, leaving Rue de la Bondonnière on your left. Keep to the right at the Fork in the road shortly after the town hall to return to the car park (S/E).
