Short walk starting from the car park on Route du Boisdhyver

A short walk in the Ermenonville Forest, starting from the car park on Route du Boisdhyver, not far from Ver-sur-Launette. On very hot days, it is best to go in the morning; there is a picnic area at the end of the walk, or in Ver-sur-Launette there is a good restaurant on Place de la Mairie and a selection of shops. The church is open to the public
