Description of the walk

(S/E) From the Sainte-Anne des Lieux Saints Chapel (or Chapelle des Lieux Saints), near the picnic tables and with your back to the chapel, turn right onto the gravel road. At the end of the straight stretch, continue to your left.

(1) At the top of the hill, where the road widens, turn right, over the ditch, to enter the woodland of the quarry, then take the small path on the right.
Cross the quarry (weekends only), where piles of gravel are stored, and emerge onto the D125 at the edge of the field. Turn right and follow the road along the grass verge until you reach the junction with the D42.

(2) Cross carefully and take the small path opposite into the woods. Follow it through to the end via a track running parallel to the gravel road on your right. At the edge of the woods, come out onto the gravel road and take the tarmac road leading to the village of Tréguély to the right.

(3) After walking about 50 metres along this road, take the path on the left to the Route de la Butte de Tréguély, which you follow to your right for 500 metres.

(4) Take the path on the right which joins theGR® de Pays des Trois Rivières (Route de Tréguély).

(5) Follow it to the right and cross the village until you reach a right-angle bend.

(6) Take the Route de Guénouvry on the right and head straight towards the gravel track on your left. At the end of this track, turn left towards the road leading to the village of Les Rivières.

(7) 20 m before reaching this road, leave theGRP®. Take a wide path on your right and follow it to the D42.

(8) After carefully crossing the D42, head right for about twenty metres and enter the woods on your left via a small, steep path. At the junction with a track, continue straight ahead.

(9) Head up the right-hand side towards the Chapelle Sainte-Anne des Lieux Saints (S/E).

Hello,
First of all, thank you for this walk; it’s lovely and allows you to walk through several different landscapes and environments.
I’d just like to make a few small observations, which I think are important. Just before stage 4, the route takes a path through the woods near a house; however, access is prohibited by the house in the woods (House No. 54), and the owner has put up several signs prohibiting hikers from passing through, so please do not go that way. You must continue straight on along the road and, 200 metres further on, turn right just before a field to rejoin stage 4. And just after stage 4, the route suggests a path towards stage 5, but this path currently crosses a field. Therefore, and out of respect for the farmer’s crops and work, I advise you to go round it to reach stage 5. Overall, this route makes for a lovely walk. Thank you

A very pleasant route; it’s a shame that the yellow signposts are missing at many of the turns! Luckily, the map is brilliant!
