Start at the car park in front of the church in Crouy-sur-Cosson.
(S/E) From the car park, turn left onto Place Saint-Martin towards Muides-sur-Loire and Mer. Turn right into Rue Creuse immediately after passing the town hall. Follow this lane to the hamlet of La Marinière. It is then followed by a wide path, often running alongside the forest.
(1) At the crossroads, turn right onto the formerly tarmac-surfaced track, the Bois Poirier.
(2) Take the first path on the right at the Les Terres des Mâles crossroads. Follow the hard-packed track, ignoring the various side paths, until you reach the Route de la Ferté (D103), where you turn left.
(3) After about 75 metres, shortly after the sign indicating the exit for Crouy-sur-Cosson, leave the tarmac and take the grassy track on the right marked CR1 (rural track). Access is restricted by two chains placed at either end. Pass through the Allée de Sologne. The lane narrows into a single track through the forest, crossing the Cosson via a footbridge, before joining a small road.
(4) Turn left onto the small road and follow it until you reach the sign indicating the entrance to the hamlet of La Cordellerie.
(5) Just before the La Cordellerie sign, turn left onto the grassy path marked CR les Poulardières. At the Fork in the road, where the private track on the left leads to Les Poulardières, keep right onto the grassy path marked CR.

(6) The grassy path eventually joins the Les Poulardières road, where you turn right. After about a hundred metres, at the crossroads, keep to the right and pass through the hamlet of Bicêtre.
(7) After this hamlet, leave the tarmac road and take the first path on the left signpostedGRP®® de Sologne.
No markings
(8) At the crossroads, just after the stadium, turn right onto the small road leading to the village of Crouy. To do this, keep right at the Fork in the road, then cross the Cosson before joining the D33 in the village, near the church, the starting point of the walk (S/E).
