Country:
District:
(S/E) Starting from the church in Sommecaise, cross the charming hamlet of Chantereine. At Les Rousserons, turn left onto theGR®13towards Rue Neuve, where Mr Jeuilly, known as "Le Père Loup" (Father Wolf), lived at the beginning of the last century.
(1) Leave theGR®13(which runs from Orléans to Vézelay) on the left, until you reach the hamlet of Les Bouviers, where you turn right towards Les Malchaires.
(2) Cross the hamlet and, before the last house on the left, take the Chemin du Tacot, which will take you past Le Plessis, Le Poitou and Le Petit Bois.
This leads to Rue des Merles, where you can refresh yourself at the Fontaine de la Rue des Merles fountain, located at the end of a small path in the middle of the hamlet, which is worth lingering over for a few moments.
(3) Retrace your steps and go straight down to the D3, which you should cross with caution as visibility is poor.
(4) Take the old road on the right and follow the district road for about a hundred metres, then turn left towards Les Ormes.
(5) Cross the Vrin via the Pont des Ombreaux bridge, with the Fontaine de l'Homme Mort fountain on your right and the Fontaine du Charme fountain on your left, currently a pumping station that will soon be replaced by the building you passed on the D3. Continue towards Les Ormes, leaving the hamlet of Les Ombreaux on your right, and take the first path on the left which descends towards the river at the Fontaine de la Motte.
(6) After the fountain, continue along the path to Moulin du Fourneau.
(7) Continue along this path through the pine forest of the Bontin estate (this section of the route offers superb views of the Motte Féodale de Summa Casa).
(8) At the end of the path, turn left onto the D57 towards Sommecaise (take care again when crossing the D3).
Head to the town hall via Grande Rue, which crosses the village, where you can view your route on the sign installed by the General Council right next to the war memorial.
(9) Return to the car park where you started (S/E).
Very pleasant route, some parts open, others in the forest. A bit of road but not too much.
