The Wolf Trail via the Orchid Meadow and the Javernant Forest

The walk starts from the car park near the town hall.

(S/E) Continue along Rue de la Rencontre towards the village exit. Pass the Chemin de la Limodine on your right and, at the next junction, turn left into Rue de l’Avenir. Follow the white and yellow signposts.
When you reach the information board, turn right onto the grassy path that climbs uphill. This path goes all the way round the Pelouse de l’Échelle. Cross the Pelouse aux Orchidées.

(1) An information board describes the conservation efforts for this dry grassland, which is exceptionally rich in biodiversity. At the end of the grassland, go through a small gap in the hedge to reach the path below. This path climbs steeply into the forest. At the first junction, continue straight on until you reach the corner of a copse on your left.

(2) At the Carrefour du Mulet, do not turn left. This is where you leave the 15km route. Take the^first forest^track leading down to the right.

100 metres further on, ignore the track on the right and carry on straight ahead.

(3) At the corner of the fence, turn right. At the bottom, continue to the right, then left, and finally right at the entrance to Roiselée.

(4) Cross the D89 and take the Chemin de la Limodine straight ahead. Rejoin the original route at the junction with Rue de la Rencontre, turn left and head for the town hall car park (S/E).

A well-maintained and clearly signposted path, though it is not recommended to walk it during the hunting season, from November to February.

The Pelouse de l’Échelle is home to certain species usually found in the south of France. Today, sheep grazing and occasional brush-clearing and mowing operations help to preserve this area, which is under threat of disappearing.
