The Moulin d'Angibault from Montipouret

Start from the Place de l'Église in Montipouret.

(S/E) Take the D69 towards Saint-Chartier and follow the yellow markings.

(1) At Les Grenouillères, turn left into a cul-de-sac that leads onto a grassy path, then turn right.

(2) At the cross, carefully cross the D69 to continue along the path opposite and carry on straight ahead until you reach a small road. Turn left, then take a sharp right at Liennets. At the next three-way junction, take the road on the left and head for the next turn-off on the left.

(3) Turn onto the path on the left, pass one on the right, then turn right at the next one. Pass two paths on the left and cross a small road, continuing straight on until you reach a fork.

(4) Take the path on the right, cross a road and follow another small road opposite, then turn onto a path on the right.

(5) Once on the D49, follow it carefully to the right for 50 m, then take a path on the left that runs alongside a ditch (signpost). The path widens and becomes Rue du hameau du Montet; follow this for 100 m.

(6) Go down the path on the left, then take the small road on the left to the Pont de l'Aubray and the access road to the Moulin d'Angibault.

(7) Turn left and take a moment to admire the mill and its surroundings.

(8) Retrace your steps.

(10) Turn right onto this road to reach the Maison des Chaumes, which you pass on the left along a track. Cross the small road and turn right onto a grassy track. Then turn left.

(11) Follow the small road to the right, pass Les Broquets and carefully cross the D41 to continue straight ahead. After passing over La Vauvre, the small road straightens out and leads to the D49.

(12) Turn left and follow the main road carefully for about 400 m. Turn left onto Rue des Combattants d'AFN. After a right-hand bend, continue straight on at the following junctions until you reach Allée Jacques Deschamps (pedestrian-only), which you should take to the right to return to the church car park (S/E).

Wear good, waterproof walking shoes and trousers suitable for the season: wet areas or tall grass.
Notes:

• At (5), if the path on the left is impassable, continue along the D49 and take the second left at Le Montet, which leads back to (6), then take the path down to the right.
• At the Moulin d'Angibault, you can take a botanical walk through the park: allow about 15 minutes, at a leisurely pace...

Montipouret:

The 13th-century portal, situated beneath the bell tower, is offset from the chancel. The north chapel has a vaulted ceiling with transverse ribs and third-order ribs. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1922.
• War memorial.
