Les Framboisiers de la Framboisière

No raspberries in sight: for now, but where have all the raspberry bushes from La Framboisière gone?
The name of the village is more likely to come from Bois Francs, meaning woods free of rights.
But patience: the new Raspberry Festival will take place in June 2024. Plantings are planned and the shrub should be given pride of place.
Take a short tour to discover the crops and the edge of the Senonches State Forest and the village. Pass by the majestic Chêne de la Framboisière oak tree. Memories of an old railway line.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park in front of the town hall in La Framboisière.

(S/E) Follow the yellow signs. Pass the church entrance. Future raspberry plantations? At the end of the path, turn left and, at the cemetery entrance, take the road on the right.

(1) As you approach Grand Village, continue straight ahead on Chemin de la Forêt. You will see a beautiful oak tree in the hedge on your right, then reach the edge of the woods.

(2) Continue on the right until you reach the GR®35 crossroads. Turn right towards Verneuil. 50 m from the crossroads, on the right, you will see two trees that join together at a height of about five metres to form a single tree. Return to the crossroads and follow the GR® on the right towards La Bénette. Continue to the picturesque bridge over the old La Loupe - Verneuil railway line

(3) From the bridge, return to the fork at the edge of the forest.

(2) Turn right and follow the edge of the woods. Cross a road and then the old railway line. Continue along the edge of the woods until you reach the Chêne de la Framboisière oak tree and find the yellow markings again.

(4) Take the path on the left to leave the forest. Cross the fields and reach a road.

(5) Follow the road to the left to return to the car park at La Framboisière town hall (S/E).
