Description of the walk

Park next to the church (around ten spaces available) in Moivrons.
(S/E) Join the Grande Rue (D10) south of the church.

(1) Turn right, then take a left onto Chemin du Breuil about fifty metres further on. At the first junction, turn right to join the D90f (Rue de Villers).

(2) Opposite Chemin du Breuil, slightly to the left, take Chemin de Bratte towards Col de Vassuchamp. Ignore a turn-off to the right and continue to a fork with a sign for Col de Vassuchamp.

(3) Take the path on your left at the edge of the forest and follow it uphill without turning either right or left. Keep heading generally south-south-west.

(4) On the plateau, take the path directly in front of you and continue to Montenoy. In the village, go straight on and cross the D90 to join the path linking the villages of Faulx and Leyr (Voie Verte de la Mauchère: former railway line).

(5) Take this path on your left. At the junction with the D90, cross carefully and continue straight ahead on the Voie Verte. Keep going straight on to bypass Leyr and arrive a few metres before the D90f, to the north of the village.

(6) Turn left to follow the D90, then cross it and continue by turning left. Keep going straight ahead, following the Étang du Jardinet on your right, until you reach the junction with the D10.

(7) Turn left into the Grande Rue.

(1) Then turn right towards the church to return to your vehicle (S/E).

Personally, we did the route starting from Montenoy in the following order: points 5-4-3-2-1-7-6-5, for several reasons. Starting from Montenoy makes the elevation gain easier to manage, as the slope is less steep. After point 7, you can stop at the Jardinet pond, a great place to quench your thirst and perhaps enjoy a picnic halfway through the route. The rest of the route is easy and flat.

In some places, there are a few concerns about getting lost. Would it be possible to provide some landmarks: GR signposts, for example?
Otherwise, a very interesting route, especially the greenway section.

We did the route backwards...
Starting from the church, you simply have to start opposite it...
because south of the church...?
Not everyone has a compass...
It's true, the paths are rutted by motorbikes... and for the beech tree... it's possible to get through...
Beautiful views... a slight incline to clear your head... when you take the reverse route
:
Thank you VISORANDO...

Hello everyone
I wanted to give you some information about this hike
Once you reach point number 3, the Vassuchamp pass, it is impossible to return to the edge of the forest
There is a large beech tree right in the middle of the path that is impossible to get around. There is a small path on the right
on the right, but it has been ruined by motorbikes. The easiest thing to do is to go down towards Bratte to
catch up with Montenoy Thank you for the hikes Renardeau54

A beautiful hike, with a good portion on the greenway. Even though I prefer the forest, we were well sheltered from hunting – I would also recommend this hike for autumn/winter! Near the church, I didn't see any signs for the Chemin du Breuil ("Rue de l'église"), but I was able to reach the Chemin de Bratte via the main road without any problems. As I was walking with children, the small picnic area on the greenway at the exit of Montenoy was very welcome!

I did the route backwards. At the start, there were lots of old railway tracks, so it was easy. The 180 m elevation gain comes at the very end and is almost all in one go! So for "Sunday hikers" like me, it's better to do it in the recommended direction. Apart from that, there are some very beautiful views. A recommended route.

It's all in the title. The views along the route are breathtaking. When you reach the Sivry valley, you'll find yourself in a truly enchanting landscape. This hike is full of discoveries, including animals (llamas, mouflons, etc.) whose presence is unexpected at the site of the former microlight flying club.
