Description of the walk

(S/E) In Vaux-sur-Lunain, starting from Place du 18 juin 1940, with the church on your left, take Rue de Chevry opposite, crossing the D69.

(1) At the crossroads, the starting point of our circular route, continue straight on to cross the Lunain. Shortly afterwards, you will find a path branching off to the right.

(2) Take this path to the right. We are now on theGR® de Pays du Lunain, marked (on the ground) with red and yellow signs. Continue along this path, staying at the edge of the woods, ignoring all paths branching off to the left and right. Further on, the path enters the undergrowth at a fork.

(3) Take the path slightly to the right and continue through the woods. After a right-hand bend, at the fork, keep right to reach the hamlet known as Le Nid-du-Corbeau. Continue straight on along the road until, a few metres further on, you find a path on the right.

(4) Turn onto this path and continue to the Lunain stream.

(5) Cross the Lunain via the footbridge. Shortly afterwards, ignore the path on the right, at the edge of the woods you are entering. Shortly after emerging into the fields, you will reach a fork.

(6) Continue along the path on the right to reach the road. Then turn right onto the small road and follow it to the ford and a footbridge. Cross the Lunain and continue to the left, keeping to the stream. Further on, this path crosses the Lunain again. Continue with the stream on your right until you reach a small road at a wash house.

(1) Turn left onto Rue de Chevry. Cross the D69. You are back (S/E).

Nothing particularly noteworthy, but a pleasant walk all the same through fields and woods. I was sad to see the Lunain riverbed dry up due to the drought in Seine-et-Marne.

A short, easy walk.
The highlight of the route is the rapeseed. I’m not sure if the paths are as pleasant at other times of the year.

A lovely walk; two hours is more than enough to complete the circular route.

A stroll across the plain and along the edge of the woods. Nothing particularly noteworthy apart from the little wooden bridges spanning the Lunain, the well, and the return journey. Conclusion: nothing of particular interest.

I was very disappointed by this walk, the only highlight of which is the hamlet of Le Nid du Corbeau, where you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time a century or two.
