Description of the walk

Departure from the center of the village, at the foot of the town hall and the parking lot in front of the small pond.

(S/E) Facing the stairs leading to the town hall and the school, turn right into rue du Fort. At the crossroads, turn left leaving the next two adjacent streets. Shortly after a shed, forget the path on the left. Go past the conservatory orchard.

(1) At the fork, turn left and keep going uphill. Arrived on a wide path, turn right and keep it while skirting a more open space.

(2) At the crossroads, turn left then immediately right. Continue along the edge of the wood, then enter the undergrowth. Go under a power line.

(3) At this new crossroad, turn left.

(4) Make a hairpin turn to the right. Go past la Fontaine Morte. Shortly after, leave the path on the right.

(5) Leave the path and take the downhill road opposite. Leave it in the first curve to take the opposite path. The descent ends on road D111.

(6) Cross it and continue the path. Go along the treatment station on your right, then climb up to the edge of the wood and enter it to reach a glade.

(7) Turn sharp right into le Chemin des Laves. Go under a power line. At the end, continue opposite on the road and at the first houses, continue straight. Go past the sports ground. At the stop sign, go straight. Continue on Grande Rue. Arrived in front of the church, bypass it on the left. At the end of this building, turn right and join the departure point (S/E).

Practical information

Classic equipment to face the weather and the hillside paths.
This marked trail following the markup charter of the Community of Communes of Puisaye-Forterre bears the number 32 inscribed on plates with a yellow background.
The markup was carried out by the association A chacun son chemin en Puisaye-Forterre in October 2021.
In case of trouble, thank you to fill the questionnary (it will take you 1 or 2 minutes).
Careful when you cross roads.
The fact that the markup is mentioned however requires that you leave at least with this description and its IGN map or the visorando app.

In the nearby area

To be noticed in the Grande Rue, at the level of the café-restaurant, on the left, in an alley, the rather typical facade of an old casino.
Winegrowers for direct sale in the village.

The route is very pleasant, alternating between undergrowth and country lanes amid fields and cherry trees. It's a good thing that the description is very detailed, because unfortunately some of the signposts have been removed or vandalised and in some places all that's left are the posts without the yellow background plaques (points 1 and 2). There is no indication at point 3.

Hello,
The description reads:
(S/E) Opposite the stairs leading to the town hall and schools, turn right into Rue du Fort. At the crossroads, turn left, leaving the next two adjacent streets.
This is the right way to go.

hello hikers
The description of the start is wrong: you have to go to the left of the town hall and not to the right.
Otherwise the route is well signposted.
Nice country walk with nothing to discover.
Beautiful village Migé

This route alternates between countryside and woodland. Best done in spring or summer to avoid waterlogged paths.
We didn't meet anyone, but that's to be expected given the date. We plan to do it again in August.
I rediscovered Migé, which I visited 40 years ago.

Nice ride, even in this season with beautiful scenery, the circuit is fairly simple! (just be careful on the hairpin bend).

Hello.
We thoroughly enjoyed this walk.

However, I would like to make one comment about the description of the points of interest:
The "Fontaine morte" (dead fountain) is not near marker 4. It is clearly visible, on the left of the route between markers 5 and 6.
To be more precise, I have located it at the level of the letters "ta" of the place name "Vallée de Fontaine Morte" on the 1:25,000 map (the edition used in the pdf of the route). It is not visible on the Géoportail orthophotograph because of the foliage.
This is also the location of information sheet no. 32 on walks in the Coulange region.

Perhaps it would be useful to add that the façade of the old casino is above the "Avenue des Champs Elysées" sign, as we passed through the alleyway once without seeing it.

Thank you for your work

Hello fiax89,
Thank you for your feedback. Concerning the reliability of the route on the map, I'm surprised at the very disappointing result. The route of this walk corresponds to the existing paths.
The current signposting is obsolete and will be completely redone in the next few months under the new intercommunal charter.
