Description of the walk

In Bulligny, car park near the town hall and a bus shelter on Rue Mi la Ville (there are also a few spaces in front of the church)

(S/E) Head towards the church and continue to the right of it along Rue montante du Bois la Dame. Ignore the first street, Allée des Jardins, on the left.

(1) Turn left onto Rue du Moulin. In the vineyard, follow the blue ring markings. At an intersection, take the path on the right that leads into a wooded area. Back in the vineyard, which is very open, continue straight ahead on this path for about 1 km, enjoying the beautiful view of the Pays de Colombey and the south of Toul.

(2) At the end of the path, turn left onto the Bois Brûlé route (marked with a modified Anneau Bleu sign dated 10/10/23) towards the Létange pond, then immediately right onto the road, and right again at the ford until you reach the pond.

(3) Létange pond. A beautiful spot for a break and a picnic. There is a picnic table on the left side of the pond and a bench on the right side. Walk along the right side of the pond and continue along a wide path between the woods and the park, then take a sharp right turn and climb a small hill to reach a forest path on the left.

(4) At the Bulligny - Massif de Moine intersection, turn left onto Chemin du Muty (Anneau Bleu). After 600 m, you will see the source of the Rupt on your right. Continue straight ahead on this wide white path. The Fontaine du Muty, signposted 800 m further on, no longer seems to be visible.

(5) At the intersection, cross the white path and continue straight ahead on a narrower wooded path (marked with a blue ring) and take the second path on the right, then right again, following the blue ring.

(6) Go around the Bulligny forest chalet located on the edge of an old football field. Then follow the signs on the left for Bulligny "Route du Bois Brûlé" and go down Rue du Bois-la-Dame.

(1) At the intersection you passed on the way there, continue straight on to the church before returning to the car park (S/E).

Very good route. Worth doing again in spring.

However, on the Hazoir hike, there is no path for a third of the route.

Hello,
Well-marked route with vine-covered slopes and pleasant forest.
Two picnic tables near the LETANGE pond.
The option to leave from the pond without having to take the road back is GREAT.
This is the second time we have done this route.
Thank you
CG

A very pleasant walk, marked with blue signs, also known as "the Tour du Bois Brûlé". No trace of the Muty Fountain.
Thanks to Visorandonneur.

Hello,
We have just completed this beautiful route and we are delighted with it. It is really lovely, thank you to the author.

There has been a small change to the terrain at WPT 2: the signposting for the Bois Brûlé route indicates that the route was modified on 10 October 2023. This is the return journey indicated on your VR circuit.
We headed towards the pond as indicated on VR, a superb little bucolic spot, and continued following the blue ring markings that run along the pond and continue along a wide path between the woods and the park before joining your route via a hairpin bend on the right and a nice little climb.
We enjoyed this alternative route, which avoids the return trip.

As for parking, on a Sunday morning, all the car parks were full, but we found a nice spot with parking and two picnic tables on the outskirts of the village near the Haut de la Pierre site, and we started our walk from there, which easily connects to your route. On the way back, we followed the same route, but it is of course possible to cross the village to admire all the special features of the villages of the Toulois region.

We are keeping the modified route available for you.

Thank you again and happy hiking!

A great way to discover the vineyards of Toulois. We enjoyed the peaceful Etange pond.
Our favourite part was the forest trails, starting at (5) in the description. It broke up the monotony of the tracks.
No signposts for the "Fontaine du Muty" fountain.
