The start is at the Mare de la Marne, a hamlet situated on a small road linking Les Forges to the D17, near Concremiers.
Follow the yellow markings: this is route no. 27 proposed by the Brenne Regional Nature Park, known as the Salleron Valley.
(S/E) Take the track to the south-west until you reach the three-way junction.
(1) Continue south to the next junction.
(2) Turn right, then 100m further on, turn left. Join a small road and follow it to the right to the hamlet of Beauvais.
(3) Continue straight on; the road becomes a track. Follow the signposts, turning left twice on the descent.
(4) Depending on the time of year (see “Practical Information”), it is possible to cross the Salleron via the ford, but it is preferable to cross a small field on the left to reach a footbridge. Head back up through the woodland to the hamlet of La Berthonnerie. Follow the small road to the D32b.
(5) Turn right, then take the small road on the right towards Les Buissons.
(6) After passing through the hamlet, leave the road at the bend and continue along the path opposite. After 300m, turn right into the woods and head down to Le Salleron.
Cross the ford carefully (Caution: see “Practical information”) then head back up the path opposite. Pass a farm track on the right and reach the edge of the woods near a sheepfold. Continue along the track across the field.
(7) On the outskirts of the hamlet of Salleron, turn onto the track on the right and continue to a four-way junction (elevation 114).
(8) Turn left towards Les Chardonnières, cross the hamlet and then take the D53 on the right.
(9) At the crossroads in Les Forges, take the left-hand road to reach the medieval castle. Head down the path that runs along the west side of the castle and leads to the banks of the Anglin. Then retrace your steps to the previous crossroads.
(9). Then turn left towards the hamlet of La Combe.
(10) Take the track on the right for 100m. Turn left onto a grassy path lined with trees and shrubs. At the end, turn left to reach the junction you passed on the way out.
(1). Return to the starting point by turning left (S/E).
