Description of the walk

Park at the car park of the Albert Bourson Multipurpose Hall, 27 Rue de Charrau, 57140 Norroy-le-Veneur.

(S/E) From the car park, take the wide path slightly to the left, crossing the road, and follow it until it joins a cross-path.

(1) Leave the main path and take the path that climbs to the right, staying on it until you reach the Aumont neighbourhood at the top.

(2) When you reach the road, head between the two houses almost directly opposite (slightly to the left) to rejoin the path that winds its way up towards the D112B.

(3) Before reaching this road, don’t miss this fork and follow the path that branches off to the left.

(4) After going round the small field, which offers a lovely view over the valley, take the path that goes down to the left, then turn right at the T-junction at the bottom and stay on the path that climbs into the forest a little further on.

(5) After passing several hunters’ huts, take the hairpin bend onto the path leading down to the left towards the village, then stay on the main road until the next junction onto Rue de Snorroy.

(6) Turn onto the path that runs between two houses again, cross the Ruisseau de Norroy and then head up through a meadow to reach the village at the top. Then walk through the village.

(7) Walk past Saint-Pierre Church to return to the starting point and head back to the car park at the Salle Polyvalente Albert Bourson (S/E).
