Description of the walk

Departure from the War Memorial, Rue de Pérouse, near the Galant crossroads (car park).

(S/E) Head towards the roundabout, turn left onto Route de Fontenelle and continue for about 150 metres.

(1) Turn right into a field on Chemin de la Planchette, then follow the signs leading to the town hall and church in particular; look out for the corresponding signs.

(2) Pass in front of the school, then follow the signs leading to Rue des Jardins d'Honorine. Turn right, then left onto Rue de la Gare. Continue to the fork (cross).

(3) Turn left, note the sign about water in Chèvremont and continue to follow the signs for Rue du Petit Bois. Cross the railway line and you will reach a fork.

(4) Turn right; this path will take you to the Virgin of Chèvremont. At the monument, read the explanation and continue. Return to Rue de la Gare (D25) and follow it to the left for about 200 metres.

(5) Turn right onto Chemin de la Clavière, then turn right onto the strategic path, pass under the railway line and join Rue du Fort.

(6) Then turn left onto the stone path and into the forest, turning right.

(7) Observe the first military batteries, then continue along the path. Turn right and walk about 100 metres out of the forest.

(8) Turn left and see a second series of batteries. Also observe a shelter for the men and its description, retrace your steps and turn left to observe the various elements that make up part of the area of ecological and faunistic interest.
At the small road, cross and turn left to see the unusual orchids. Continue towards the football pitches before going down the steps that will take you to Rue de Pérouse (D28). Follow this street to the right.

(9) Pass the Chèvremont mini-golf course (on your right), created by young people from the village. Continue to the roundabout. Continue straight ahead along Rue de Pérouse to return to the starting point (S/E).

Notes

At the Galant crossroads, you will find a bakery, a butcher's, a chemist's and a tobacconist's.
Good trainers are sufficient for this hike; however, in case of rain, it is recommended that you wear walking shoes: the forest path can be slippery.

Parking is available at the starting point near the war memorial on Rue de Pérouse.

Visorando was informed by Pierre Lab, a volunteer member of Balisage 90, in agreement with the Belfort department.

Worth a visit

Take a look at the nine panels created by young people. Each one recounts a particular activity in the village.
In the forest, see the military installations, some of which are still used by the military.
Then discover the area of ecological and wildlife interest.
On the way back, visit the mini golf course, which recounts events in the history of the region.

This walk is a wonderful discovery. It is easy, pleasant and well signposted.
The section near the batteries will be of interest to enthusiasts.
Although we did the walk on a Sunday, we didn't meet many people.
We'll definitely be back! 🤗

Easy, varied hike, well explained. Beautiful views of the Vosges mountains. The walk through the forest near the batteries was interesting. In short, a good afternoon.
This hike can be recommended to people who are not very experienced walkers.

Very beautiful route, well marked. Only minor issue at level 8... a little difficult to find the trail.

01/03.
The signage with small signs bearing a drawing of a cabbage is very unclear when you arrive near the Chèvremont football field in the second part of the route.

In the Ragie au Bailly forest, we lost the trail markers due to fallen trees. We took a path further to the left to find the trail markers just before the forest exit.

OK for the comments, the ones that are deteriorating will be changed shortly.
As for the road, there is no other way to show the "mini golf course for young people". It was the young people who were behind the hike.

A very beautiful walk, highly recommended. Just a few cabbages need replacing as they deteriorate over time, and if possible, the end of the route should be revised so that it doesn't run alongside the road. Otherwise, it's great.
