Mathons walks
Morancourt via Les Convers from Mathons
From Mathons to Morancourt via the Bois des Convers and back via Haut de la Maize, making for a lovely, undulating walk through plains and woodland teeming with roe deer. You can’t complete the entire walk without spotting several.
In the footsteps of Philippe Lebon, starting from Charmes-la-Grande
This walk leads to Brachay, the birthplace of Philippe Lebon (1767), inventor of lighting gas produced by distilling wood. A bust in his honour stands in front of the town hall, and two houses that once belonged to him can also be seen.
Historic Blaiseron circular loop
A walk through a hilly, partly shaded area, passing through historic sites and ending, for the final two kilometres, by following the banks of the Blaiseron (a tributary of the Blaise). The three villages you pass through are steeped in history, and for a while you follow in the footsteps of Joan of Arc.
Between the Forest and the Chênoi
A short walk around Doulevant-le-Petit, through the forest. A very pleasant, easy stroll under the canopy. If you keep quiet, you may have the pleasure of spotting some of the many roe deer in the area.
Bois-dit Sartille between Courcelles-sur-Blaise and Mertrud
A walk in the forest between Courcelles-sur-Blaise and Mertrud. In spring, you can pick lovely bunches of lily of the valley here. In summer, when you’re looking for a bit of cool shade, this route is ideal as it runs entirely through the forest.
La Croix Jeanson between Dommartin-le-Saint-Père and Baudrecourt
Explore the plateau between Baudrecourt and Dommartin-le-Saint-Père and its many wind turbines, passing through Baudrecourt. Enjoy the pretty old stone houses, now renovated. You can also see a watercress bed in the Blaiseron riverbed.
Doulevant-le-Château circular loop
A walk steeped in history, as we pass through Doulevant-le-Château, where Napoleon stayed on two occasions. We also pass through Villiers-aux-Chênes, home to an ancient Merovingian cemetery, and finally through Dommartin-le-Saint-Père, where you can visit the Foundry Museum.
Route de Saint-Antoine à Rouécourt
A route exploring the Haut-Marne countryside (route no. 51, marked in yellow and green).
The forest of Bailly-aux-Forges
This walk offers a wonderful immersion in the heart of the forest, in a setting of natural beauty and tranquillity. The route runs entirely through woodland. A walk particularly recommended in summer during hot weather.
Lac des Leschères and Montreuil-sur-Blaise Communal Forest
A pleasant walk around Lac des Leschères and through the Montreuil-sur-Blaise Communal Forest. It is utterly peaceful, with birdsong or the rustling of leaves in the wind, depending on the season. Lac des Leschères, known locally as ‘Digue’, is a former 40-hectare reservoir that fed the canal linking Brousseval to Saint-Dizier. The route takes you through the forest and along paths that are sometimes not shown on maps:the Visorando app is recommended.
The Bois des Ermites
A short, bucolic walk in the forest between Bailly-aux-Forges and Laneuville-à-Rémy. Most of the route is in the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. In winter, the southern part can be a little damp.
The Petit Serin from Villiers-aux-Chênes
Walk through the Champagne plains, accessible during the hunting season.
Curel via Haut de Fosse from Chevillon
A beautiful summer walk along the canal, then discover the pretty village of Curel and climb through the forest to reach Chevillon. Beautiful views of the Marne Valley and the Châtonrupt Viaduct (in good weather).
Le Haut de Crémont from Chevillon
A very pretty walk through the forest and then along the canal, with a slightly steep climb at the beginning but which quickly becomes easier with the descent towards Sommeville. Picturesque spot: the passage under the railway line, then over the river on a metal footbridge.
Sommeville via Le Châtelet and the Haute-Borne menhir
This route offers panoramic views of several villages in the Marne Valley and takes you on a tour of several archaeological sites.
The Val la Pie loop in Daillancourt
Starting from Daillancourt, a small, typical village built of the region’s white stone, this is a pleasant little walk that follows the local paths, including a short stretch through the communal forest. Towards the end of the walk, you’ll catch a glimpse of the villages further up the Blaise valley.
