Start: Bouvigny, small square in front of the town hall.
(S/E) Take the stairs down to Rue Dujardin. Follow it for a hundred metres to the right, then turn left into Rue du 11 Novembre. After 800m, reach a fork.
(1) Just before the fork, turn right at 90°, then follow the path along the tarmac (which leads to a house). Follow it to the junction with a street.
(2) At the first houses, turn right (Rue du Moulin). At the fork, turn right onto the D165.
(3) Follow it a few metres to the right, then turn left into Chemin du Mont Breuvart. At the crossroads, turn left onto the GR® at the edge of the wood. 300m further on, turn left towards Marqueffles. Take the 1st street on the right, opposite the Maison de Retraite (retirement home).
(4) Turn right (GR®). Ignore the street on the left, take the track opposite and reach the edge of the woods. Ignore a small sign on the left and, climbing steeply, reach a crossroads (multi-arrow sign). Turn right (still GR®) to reach the summit.
(5) Leave the GR® and head straight ahead. The start can be a little tricky, but after that, the trail is excellent.
At the crossroads, continue straight ahead. Eventually, you'll reach a wider path (the wood opposite was thinned out at the end of April 2021).
(6) Turn right and stay on this wide path. You'll pass a chapel (on the left) and come to a tarmac road near Ferme du Bois de Mont.
(7) Take the left-hand track, which bends 90° to the right, passes the motocross course and reaches a crossroads.
(8) Turn right onto tarmac and a few metres further on, take the track which runs alongside a small wood. At the T-junction, turn right, ignore the left-hand path and reach a crossroads near the pylon.
.
(9) Follow the (good) downhill path opposite the barrier, which joins the D75. Follow it for 100 metres on the right.
(10) Turn right on the GR® into the beautiful driveway that crosses the Institut Saint-François (walk straight ahead, the barbed wire is lurking!). At the end of the alley, turn left into Rue Maurice Gouy, which takes you back to the car park(S/E).
