Departure from the Croix de Noailles. Park in the car park on the south side of the D308, on the left just before the crossroads and the cross when coming from Maisons-Laffitte.
(S/E) Start south-east along the Route de la Biche, i.e. the path on the left when looking at the stone bench (sign at the entrance to the path).
(1) At the crossroads, turn right onto Route du Maître Particulier. After about 150m, cross Route de Bourbon. Continue straight ahead, south-southwest, at the various crossroads that follow, including Étoile du Maître Particulier. This will take you to Étoile du Bon Secours (oratory on a tree on the left).
(2) Take the second road to the right of the oratory, Route de Notre-Dame du Bon Secours (sign), and head south. When you pass the Croix d'Actéon, continue straight ahead on the road that descends for another 250 m or so and find a path on the right, before the Étoile Caroline.
(3) Take this path, Sentier du Val (blue salamander sign on a white background). At the T-junction, turn left and continue straight ahead until you reach the Étoile Royale junction (ignore the salamander sign on the right).
(4) At the crossroads (tarmac road with no traffic), turn left onto Route Royale. Continue straight ahead until you reach the D284. Cross this roadcarefully, following the pedestrian signs (T13 line construction site).
(5) On the other side, at the Oratoire Sainte-Geneviève, turn right towards the Maison de la Légion d'Honneur and follow the D284 along the parallel path. At the Camp des Loges crossroads (elevation 78), cross the D284 again and follow it to the left. Take the first path on the right, Route de la Vierge. Cross the small tarmac road again and immediately take the path on the right. Reach the Mare aux Canes and go around it on the right.
(6) Leave the edge of the pond via the fifth path on the right and return to the Route de la Vierge. Then take the second path on the left (west-northwest), the Route des Mares (yellow and red markings). Continue straight ahead to the Étoile des Six Chiens (also known as Carrefour de la Fête des Loges or Carrefour de la Maison de la Légion d'Honneur). Cross the N184 at the pedestrian crossing.
(7) Follow the road opposite that leads to the Maison de la Légion d'Honneur. The Oratoire de Saint-Fiacre is to the right of the entrance. Retrace your steps.
(7) Take Route de la Mare aux Canes, to the right of the restaurant. At Étoile Richelieu, continue straight ahead.
(8) At the Étoile Sainte-Anne (oratory on a tree), take the third right (south-west), the Route Saint-Joseph (a blue cross on a white rectangle marks the way). At the next crossroads, go straight ahead.
(9) Take the first road on the right (just before Route Saint-Joseph joins the D190 road). You will soon reach Croix Pucelle. Continue along the road behind the cross. At the next junction, take the second road on the right and join the next one.
(10) Take the path almost opposite between plots 174 and 180 (Route de la Charmeraie).
(11) At the next junction, turn left onto Route de la Justice. At the first junction, go straight ahead and reach the next one.
(12) Turn right and go straight ahead (north-east).
(13) At Étoile des Volières, take the second road on the right, Route de l'Angle, and continue to Étoile de la Charmeraie.
(14) Then take the second road on the left, which climbs slightly, Route de la Charmeraie (sign slightly damaged). At the next crossroads (elevation 64), turn right and follow the road to Étoile Saint-Joseph.
(15) Cross the tarmac road to take Route Saint-Joseph (second road on the left) and pass by the foot of the oratory, which is about thirty metres away and visible from the crossroads.
(15) Follow the path to the next crossroads (Étoile de la Descente). Then take the path on the left.
(16) At Étoile du Dos d'Âne, take the first path on the right (Route de Bourbon) to Étoile du Grand Veneur.
(17) Then follow the third path on the left to the Croix de Noailles crossroads. At the end, turn left and cross the D308. Then turn right to cross the N184.
Be sure to obey the traffic lights, as there are no marked pedestrian crossings.
Then walk along the D308 before crossing it a second time, at the restaurant car park, and return to the car park (S/E).
N.B. For safety reasons, I recommend returning to the car park by crossing the D308 twice in succession.
