Access: the church is in the centre of the village of Bonnœil. Parking is available in small car parks on both sides of the RD167.
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the church, take the RD167 to the junction with the RD241 and turn right towards Angoville. The road descends, then climbs again to the Chapel of Our Lady of Compassion (19th century).
(1) Opposite the chapel, turn right onto the wide path and gently descend towards a farm. Do not enter the courtyard; walk along the buildings on the right to reach a tarmac road. Take this road to the left for 50 metres.
(2) Turn left onto the access road to two houses. Continue along the path, walking alongside the fields. Pass a path on your left, turn right at a 90° angle and continue straight ahead, following the edge of the pine forest to reach a tarmac road.
Turn right and descend for 300 metres until you reach the entrance to the hamlet of La Rabotière, then turn left towards La Pierre Affileresse and you will come out onto the RD157.
(3) Go down the RD157 to the right for 50 metres, then turn left, following the yellow markings along the hedgerow path lined with embankments. At the first crossroads, turn left and then immediately right to continue following the yellow markings. Go around the scrapyard on the right, then walk alongside a lean-to and a house.
(4) At the end of the house, turn left at the edge of the copse onto the path that descends towards a tarmac road. Follow this road to the left.
(5) Leave the Trois Minettes farm on your left and continue for about 250 metres along a wide path. Then follow the yellow markings on the right, which descend towards the Val stream, which you will cross via a wooden bridge to reach Moulin Foulon.
(6) Go back up the tarmac road from Moulin Foulon to cross the RD167 and take the forest road opposite (limited to 10t) which joins the RD157a.
(7) Turn left, continue for about 250 metres, then turn right to reach the hamlet of Mesnil.
(8) In this hamlet, when the road turns 90° to the right, take the path on the left that runs alongside the nurseries and descends towards Laize.
(9) Cross the Pont Neuf bridge over the confluence of two streams marking the start of Laize. Head up to the right after the bridge, leave a path on the left and join the RD43. Follow it to the right (busy road, walk on the hard shoulder) for 1 km to reach the village of Saint-Germain-Langot. Turn right and head for the town hall.
(10) Continue through the village on the RD157, then, after the village exit sign, turn left onto Route des Fresnayes. Leave Chemin du Hamel on your left.
(11) Turn right onto Chemin des Bruns. Follow the yellow markings as you wind your way through the hamlet of Les Bruns, going around house no. 4 on the right, leaving house no. 5 on your left and going around house no. 9 on the right. The path then leads to the hamlet of Les Forges. Continue straight ahead until you reach a crossroads with a mound in the centre featuring a cross and four trees. Go up to the right for 300 metres, then turn left, continuing to follow the yellow markings. Go straight down towards the Langot stream (often dry).
(12) Cross the stream, go back up and at the next crossroads, take the forest path on the right (yellow markings) which runs alongside the forest and joins the RD157a.
(13) Turn left to cross Bois Devaux, then continue along this road to return to the church and car park (S/E).
