Description of the walk

A car park located at the foot of the village hall and the village community hall is available for parking.

(S/E) From the end of the car park, facing the hedge, head to the right. Go down the few steps leading to the wash house, then head back up the tarmac road. Turn left, cross the Ouanne on the bridge and continue along this road until you reach a crossroads.

(1) Head towards La Jaunière - Bel-Air on the left. Pass the track leading to the farm and you’ll come to the edge of a wood. Turn right to reach the sharp bend in the road.

(2) Leave this road and head straight along the path. You will reach a first junction with a tree in the middle of the path.

(3) Turn right onto a path lined with hedges. You will come out onto a road.

(4) Take it to the right and follow it to the next junction (there is a Stop sign on this road).

(5) Turn left, walk for about twenty metres until you find, between the two houses, a path flanked by hedges. After a sharp bend, the path descends onto a service road.

(6) Head right and, at the next junction, take the road on the left.

(1) Go straight on at the junction and return to the village via the same route as on the way out (S/E).
