Épinay and Le Faulx in a circular from Franqueville-Saint-Pierre

There is nothing special to discover on this short route, just a breath of fresh air. Pass through the fields on the Franquevillais plateau, descend to the Lyons-la-Forêt road via the Sente des Hauts Bœufs to reach the village of Épinay. Then, climb up the path at the edge of the Bois des Chartreux towards Le Faulx, in the commune of Franqueville-Saint-Pierre.

Description of the walk

Parking and departure from the cemetery car park, Rue Pierre Curie.

(S/E) With your back to the cemetery entrance, turn left and walk about 640 m until you reach the first building on your left, the drinking water distribution house for Franqueville-Saint-Pierre.

(1) After the house, turn left onto the path that leads across the fields. At the first X-shaped crossroads, turn left. Ignore the path on the right and turn onto the second path leading downhill. Join the tarmac road and continue to the T-junction, Route de Lyons-la-Forêt.

(2) Turn right onto the cycle and footpath. Pass the market gardener's on your right and turn at the first right-hand turn. After the barriers, at the T-junction, turn left until you reach the next T-junction.

(3) Turn left and continue for about 3 metres. Cross the road and continue straight ahead on the small path just behind the house. Follow this path, which becomes Chemin du Bois des Chartreux a little further on. Ignore the two turnings on the left and continue to the right-hand bend.

(4) Continue uphill for about 1,440 metres along the grassy, stony path until you reach the first turn-off on the right.

(5) Turn right onto Rue de l'Abreuvoir. At the pond, follow the bend to the left, cross Rue de la Nation and continue for 50 metres until you reach the T-junction.

(6) Turn right onto Rue Alexandre Saas and continue to the pedestrian crossing in the right-hand bend. Cross the road and continue along the path opposite until you reach the tarmac.

(7) Ignore the road on the right and continue straight ahead on Rue des Champs Fleuris until you reach the initial fork.

(1) Go straight ahead, in the opposite direction to the outward journey, until you reach the cemetery car park (S/E).

Well-marked route. Very popular as it forms part of several different routes in Franqueville and Epinay, as well as part of a GR route.
Accessible to everyone as it can be modified.
