Start at the car park behind the town hall and 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 head towards the church in the direction of Soings-en-Sologne. Note the roundabout.
(1) Turn right into Rue de la Bondonnière just after the half-timbered house (bar), with your back to the church gate. After 300m, at the fork in the road, leave the road by keeping to the right onto the hard-surfaced track towards the astronomical observatory. Continue along the track past the observatory. Follow the most frequently used path until you reach a wide hard-surfaced track.
(2) Turn left onto the hard-packed track. This track takes two right-hand bends.
(3) Leave the hard-packed track at the Fork in the road where it heads towards Bois Trémal, continuing straight on along the grassy path until you reach 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, then eventually meets a cross-country path.
(5) Turn left onto the cross-path, known as the Chemin des Ogonnières. Follow this well-marked track.
(6) Continue 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 crossroads. The path runs alongside the Étang Neuf
(8) As soon as you reach the first houses, turn left onto the hard-surfaced lane known as Rue de la Soye and continue straight on at the crossroads onto the tarmac road leading to Route de l’Arche (the main road), which you will join on the left.
(1) Walk past the church, leaving Rue de la Bondonnière on your left. Keep right at the Fork in the road shortly after the town hall to return to the car park (S/E).
