Description of the walk

Place du Maréchal Leclerc.

(S/E) Leave the town hall on your left and head towards the cul-de-sac slightly to the right, where there are a few half-timbered houses (a place known as L’Abreuvoir).
Cross the footbridge.

(1) Turn left, then right towards La Baronnie.
Follow the road to the left, cross the footbridge over the Yères and take the path that runs alongside the D14, rejoining the road as you head towards the Manoir de la Baronnie.

(2) Take the road that climbs up to the right almost to the edge of the forest.
Take the path that enters the forest on the right.
At the entrance to the forest, ignore thefirst path on the left and take the one a few steps further on, almost in line with the path you’ve been following, which is the ‘steepest’ (there’s a Yellow Circle on a tree). Carry on straight ahead.
Pass between plots 304 and 308.
Walk past the La Baronnie signpost.
Carry on straight ahead, cross the looping road, and continue to the Mont Huguet signpost.

(3) Turn right just as you reach the post.
Carry on straight ahead to the Père André signpost.

(4) Turn right, cross the roundabout.
Follow the path, passing the Sainte Catherine kiosk and the Grancourt viewpoint, until you reach the road.
Take the path that leads down through the fields opposite.
Walk down to a three-way junction (before the first houses).

(5) Turn right, continue straight on until you reach the D149.
Turn left onto the Route de Dieppe.
Return to the starting point.
