The starting point is the square in front of the town hall, where there are several parking spaces available.
(S/E) Head towards the river and, facing it, take the path on the right. Pass the wash house and you will come to a tarmac road. Take it on the right.
When you reach Grande Rue, turn left. Turn right onto the street leading to the church. Leave this monument and the cemetery on your right.
Red-white (GR®13) + yellow-blue markings.
(1) Leave the first road to the right and take the path shortly afterwards on the right. The climb is tough for a start! At the first crossroads (red and white cross opposite), turn left. After a break on a fairly flat section, the descent is very fast. It is better to take the left-hand side (along the trees) as the descent is very slippery and difficult.
(2) Cross the path and go through the gate (usually open). Continue along this path with a fence on your right. It overlooks the Cure Valley. You will come to the D227 road. Turn right. Just before the cemetery (on either side of the street), go up to the right and take the gravel path.
(3) At the stone hut, turn left. Continue along this main road. When you reach the crossroads of Rue du Château and Rue Cottin, go straight ahead. Continue for about 100 metres and then take a path on the right. Walk along the buttress walls of the castle, leaving the ruins on your right, and you will arrive at the Chapel of Val-Sainte-Marie.
(4) Take a hairpin bend to return to Grande Rue. Leave Manoir de Chastenay on your right. Turn right onto Rue des Monts d'Arcy and, when you reach the crossroads, turn right.
End of the red and white markings (GR®13).
(5) Continue straight ahead on the path, leaving theGR®13on your left. Continue on this fairly wide path until you see a road on your right and a coniferous forest on your left.
(6) Cross the road (D237) and take the path on the left that runs parallel to it. After about 200 metres, the path turns 90° to the right.
(7) Continue straight ahead on this old Roman road called Agrippa. The first 300 metres are along the edge of the forest, then continue through the undergrowth. Cross a road, then a cross-path to reach a tarmac road (D69).
(8) Descend to the right to the hamlet of Sery. Cross it in a south-east/north-west direction. Stay on Grande Rue, crossing Rue de Bessy. After the group of houses, ignore the dead-end road on the left, then a road leading to a property on the right.
(9) At the Y-junction, turn right. Walk along a wooded strip on the right. Stay on this main path until the next junction with a road.
(10) Make a right-left turn across the road. Take the path towards the woods to find a small road that leads to the Ferme du Fays. Continue straight ahead for about 400 metres.
(11) At the bend in the road, leave it and head into the undergrowth (old wagon converted into a hut on the right). At the first crossroads, turn left. Descend into the undergrowth, then reach a cultivated area. Reach the first houses of Accolay. Facing the railway line, turn right.
Red and white markings (GR®13).
(12) Turn right onto this wide path, leaving the level crossing on your left. Stay on this main path, passing a calvary on your right. Enter the woods. Overlook the Cure and then the site of Reigny Abbey. You will reach the first houses of Bessy-sur-Cure with the Cure river on your left.
(13) Turn left. Cross the road, then immediately take the small path on the left that descends to the river (GR®13markings). Continue along the Cure to reach the car park (S/E).
