Description of the walk

The route starts from the Poirond stopover lodge in La Motte-Feuilly.

(S) In La Motte-Feuilly, take the D36a southwards, leaving the castle and chapel on your right and leaving the village via the Route de Feusines. Cross the D36 and continue straight ahead until you reach the central reservation with a huge ash tree. Turn right onto a wide path running alongside a wood.

(1) At the next intersection, take the path on the right along the woods. Leave the path that branches off to the left and continue to the next crossroads.

(2) Leave the GR®654 trail, the Compostela route, and take the path (GRP®) on the left along the woods towards the south and cross the D84 (Route de La Lande). Leave the hamlet of La Lande on your left until you reach the crossroads with the next road.

(3) Take the road on the right towards Asnières. Cross the hamlet and continue straight on to reach the D917 in Rongères.

(4) Cross the road (take care!). At a small wood (poplar grove), walk past a wash house and take a grassy path opposite which joins a track, then a road.

(5) Turn left. At a stele commemorating "Rongères, former parish, former commune 1789-1828". Opposite, take a track that crosses the Bois du Prieuré. Continue south to the intersection marked by a calvary.

(6) Continue along the road to the left, then turn right a few dozen metres further on. Cross the hamlet of Lencourty (note the well covered with chestnut shingles and the barn with a door).

(7) At the crossroads, take the road on the left leading to Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre, where you will see the bell tower. You will arrive at the cemetery.

(8) At the corner of the cemetery and the campsite, turn right onto Rue des Canards and continue to the church. Turn right onto Rue Pierre et Paul Bourry, then left onto Rue Émile Chénon until you reach the market hall of Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre (E).
