Description of the walk

The starting point is at the entrance to the Compi farm, Rue de la Croix Ronde. You can park in the Parc des Templiers car park, 300 m from the start of the walk.

(S/E) Head west and go down Chemin des Pommiers along a field. Ignore a path on the left (elevation 74).

(1) At the intersection immediately after, ignore the path on the right (this will be the return route) and continue straight ahead. Go around the model aircraft club's field on the right.

(2) At the T-junction, turn right onto Chemin de la Grange du Breuil. At the fork that appears immediately, keep right and continue along Chemin de la Daunette. Further on, turn left with the path and cross the Rouillon on a footbridge.

(3) At the end of the footbridge, take a sharp right turn and follow the stream on your right until you reach the Pont des Templiers (12th century).

(4) Cross the bridge and follow the stream on your left. Stay in the woods and, when you come out, turn right. Join Rue des Templiers.

(5) Then turn right and walk along a field on your right until you reach a fence. Continue between this fence and an embankment until you reach an intersection you took on the way there.

(1) Turn left and continue straight ahead to the starting point (S/E).

A pleasant walk for the weekend
The poppy trail narrows in the plain due to the crops growing along the way.

A bucolic trail through plains and woods with the Compi farm as its destination.
Unfortunately, it was closed today.
The Poppy Trail is narrowed by cornfields at the edge of the woods but still passable.
When you reach it, you can clearly see the markers that delimit it and where corn has been planted along three-quarters of the path! What a shame.

For your information, unfortunately it is often the case that paths are ploughed in spring! Currently, there is a strip of about one metre along the fence that can be used to pass through.
The town hall has been notified and should quickly restore the path, which belongs to the town.

At the exit of the fence on the way back, the field has been ploughed
and we are forced to make a detour to the left!

I did this short route near my home this morning. At this time of year, make sure you wear walking boots as the paths are muddy.
The main attraction is exploring the Templiers woods with its arched bridge and the new path along the embankment of the Templiers park, which runs alongside the fence.
This is a great family outing in the summer months. The hike across the plain is bucolic and relaxing, and the woods and stream are very pleasant.
