Crossed by numerous waterways, the town of Chaumont-en-Vexin has been awarded the Petite Cité de Caractère label. Along the route, you can discover the rolling landscapes of the Vexin and the Troesne valley, with two megaliths along the way: the Dolmen des Trois-Pierres in Trie-Château and the Pierre Droite de Delincourt.

Thanks, JP, for letting me know about the rather tricky waypoint between 3 and 4. I’ll correct it.
All the best with Visorando.
Kind regards

A lovely walk, but a few points to bear in mind:
Between points 3 and 4, it’s impossible to get through due to a gate; carry on straight ahead to the railway footbridge, turn left and rejoin the track after point 4;
After point 5 (the ‘three-stone dolmen’), the track is impassable due to fallen trees; it’s impossible to reach point 6 as barbed wire blocks access. Follow the railway line and, at the roundabout with the statue, cross carefully to reach Trie Château.
At point 10, take the A-road to Gisors – the journey itself is unremarkable, but a visit to the town and the castle is well worth it – that’s the reward!
