Departure from Place de l'Escargot, in Chalautre-la-Petite. Parking on the square or in the adjacent streets. Access via the D1 from Provins or Soisy-Bouy.
Red and white markings
(S/E) Head west on Rue Claude Chappe and arrive in front of the church. Then take the alley on the left. Turn right onto a path (follow the markings carefully), passing an old well on your left and a wash house on your right. Cross the Ruisseau des Méances stream, find a tarmac road and follow it to the left. Ignore two perpendicular streets, one on the left and one on the right, and you will come to a crossroads.
(1) Turn right and follow Rue de Longueville. Ignore a private road on your left and continue to a crossroads with a road.
Blue markings
(2) Cross the road and continue along the path opposite (leaving theGR®11trail on your right). Walk along the left-hand side of a fenced plot and then a wood.
No markings
(3) At the corner of the woods, continue straight ahead between the fields (ignore the blue markings on the left). Walk along the woods on your left again, heading west-southwest, and ignore two paths on the right that lead uphill. You will come to a three-way junction directly below a power line (pylon opposite).
(4) Turn right and follow a wide stony path that soon curves to the left. Further on, the path becomes tarmac and enters the undergrowth: climb steadily up this path, ignoring any vague paths branching off to the side.
(5) At the three-way junction at the top of the hill, turn left and descend Chemin de la Petite Voie. After the last house, the tarmac gives way to a path that enters the woods. Turn left, stay on the main stony path and descend steeply. Finish the descent at the edge of the field on your right.
Blue + yellow markings
(6) At the crossroads at the bottom of the descent, continue straight ahead and enter the woods again. Cross a wet passage and cross the Ruisseau des Méances stream. Exit the woods, continue along the edge of the woods on your left, ignore a path on your right, pass under a power line and ignore a path on your left (poplar trees). Then climb slightly with a field on your left and a hedge on your right.
Blue + green markings
(7) At the corner of the field (there is a small quarry opposite), turn left and head north-east along the edge of the woods on your right. Once back between the fields, ignore a faint path that branches off to the right and leads to a fork at the edge of the woods.
Blue markings (rare due to lack of support)
At the next fork (elevation 89), turn right and enter a wood. Leave the wood and climb gradually, maintaining an east-northeast direction and alternating between fields and the edge of the woods on your right.
(8) At the crossroads at elevation 122, turn sharply left and descend between the fields. At the bottom of the descent, at the corner of a wood, turn right. At the end of the wood, ignore the arrow pointing left for the next crossroads and continue east-northeast between the fields.
No markings
(9) At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead (ignore the blue markings on the left). Walk along the Ruisseau des Méances stream on your left, then a hedge of trees. The path gives way to a narrow tarmac road. Pass the water treatment plant on your left and continue along the tarmac road. At the crossroads, cross the road and take Rue des Méances opposite. Follow this street, ignoring the side roads, until you reach the fork you took on the way there.
Red and white markings
(1) Continue straight ahead into Rue des Moulins. At the information sign, continue straight ahead. At the corner of No. 65, turn right onto a footpath and cross the stream. Pass the same landmarks as on the way there: the wash house on your left and the well on your right. Turn left between the houses and come out opposite the church. Go around the church on the right and follow Rue Claude Chappe to Place de l'Escargot (S/E).
