Description of the walk

Departure in front of the town hall.

(S/E) Take Rue de la Mairie to the right with your back to the town hall, then turn left onto
Rue des Mais (pronounced "mais" and not "maïs")
Go down the first street on the right between the houses until you reach the edge of the woods.

(1) Turn right and follow the path straight ahead. Take a quick look at the beautiful property on your left, along the Suippe river with the Heutrégiville mill in the background. Cross the small bridge over the weir to the Grand Rue. Turn left, cross the bridge over the Suippe (another view of the mill).

(2) At the RD20, turn right then take the first left, Rue de la Gare, to the old station.
Take the greenway on the right. Go straight ahead until you reach the Roman road.
Turn right, cross the RD20 and enter Vaudetré. Continue straight ahead, cross the Suippe again and take the path on the right (this public path does not appear on the map but does exist; it is even passable by vehicle and used by tractors).

(3) Follow this path along the edge of the woods (woods on your right and fields on your left). Take the second path on the right and cross the woods for about 50 metres (a place called Le Pont Vert).

(4) At the first path, turn right, walk along the woods again (woods on your right), then turn left at the next path and head back up towards the village. Cross the RD33 and, opposite, follow Rue des Places to the town hall (S/E).

Worth a visit

Near the finish, there is a church dating from 1926, rebuilt after the village was bombed and almost completely destroyed in 1918.

Hello
We chose the wrong season for this hike, the paths were too muddy!
In dry weather it will be more enjoyable! We will definitely do it again!

A pleasant hike. We chose to start from St Masmes, a small village located 1.5 km from Heutregiville.

A pleasant, easy walk, especially from points 1) to 3), and a fairly well-marked route up to stage 4), where we couldn't find the first path on the right or the small bridge.
We continued along the woods to the right of the road to reach the village.

Pleasant route except for the section that runs alongside the railway line.
Alternating wooded and non-wooded areas, not very pleasant

A nice, peaceful walk at a brisk pace, completed in 1 hour and 5 minutes. A very pleasant route along the Suippe river...
Avoid this route in hot weather.

A nice walk with the family, with two children aged 4 and 8.
The route is fairly uneven in terms of interest: the section between points 1, 2 and 3 is quite nice: a pretty little village with its church and mill, passing through the woods along the Suippe river. The sections between 3 and 4 and between 4 and 5 are quite long and straightforward: paths running alongside fields.

two lovely views and a pleasant little stretch along the Suippes, but much of the route is along a tractor track that is not very passable. We must have missed something because we never found the little wooden bridge.

A pleasant walk, best enjoyed when it is not too sunny. Long stretches of open terrain, particularly along the old railway line.
