Allée de la Mailleroye

Description of the walk

Starting point: La Mailleroye car park, Tirechat hamlet in Demigny. Information board with route details and practical advice.

Green markings

(S/E) Head north-east and enter the forest, keeping the D62 on your left. Just before leaving the forest to reach a large avenue, turn right to see the stump of the old Mailleroye oak tree (a listed tree).

(1) At the intersection with the large forest avenue of La Mailleroye, turn right and continue straight ahead (east-southeast), ignoring the side roads.

(2) At the intersection with the old railway line (on the right, ruins of the old gatekeeper's cottage), continue straight ahead. At the next crossroads, turn right onto a path. A sign indicates this change of direction. A small bridge allows you to cross the ditch.

(3) At the end of the path, turn right onto the gravel forest road. After about 200 metres, turn left onto a path.

(4) At the end of the path, turn right onto the wide gravel forest track and continue straight ahead to the edge of the forest. Then turn right and continue straight ahead to the car park (S/E).

The car park and starting point are located on the edge of the D62 road in the woods. A pleasant, peaceful walk.

A pleasant walk with my two children aged 7 and 9.
The car park is very difficult to find and not signposted, so it was lucky that the GPS coordinates were provided.
An ideal walk in warm weather.
