Description of the walk

Parking and departure point: Esplanade Abbé Marguery.

(S/E) With your back to the church, head straight ahead towards the town hall park. Use the passage between the hedges to enter the park and take the gravel path on the left, which you should follow until you reach the park exit.

(1) Turn left onto Rue du Pont Bleu and continue to the crossroads. Turn left onto Chemin de la Table Pierre and, at the tarmac, continue straight ahead onto Rue des Pommeraies. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead onto Rue des Vatines and join the T-junction.

(2) Turn left onto Rue du Bois Tison and take the first right onto Rue du Bourgard. At the T-junction, turn right onto Rue de la Brulée and continue to the next crossroads. Take Rue des Jonquets on the left, pass a crossroads and continue to the T-junction.

(3) Turn left onto Rue des Jonquets; at the T-junction, turn right onto Rue des Forgettes and continue to the next crossroads. Use the pedestrian crossing to cross the main road, Route de Gournay. Turn right and then immediately left onto Rue de la Chapelle, pass the Quévreville sign and continue to the T-junction.

(4) Turn left onto Route de Préaux and take Rue des Canadiens on the right; pass Notre-Dame Chapel on your right. Turn left 390 metres further on onto Sente du Merisier. Continue along the path until the first left turn. Turn left and, at the end of the path, turn right then left; go up the small slope to the T-junction.

(5) Turn right onto Rue de la Bellevue and continue to the T-junction. Cross Route de Gournay very carefully and continue straight ahead to the crossroads. Turn right onto Rue du Nouveau Monde and continue to the next crossroads.

A very easy route, with virtually no elevation gain, except at point 5. Over 80% of the route is on small tarmac roads, which is quite a lot. The only section on a dirt track is between the exit from Quevreville-la-Milon and point 5, a distance of just over a kilometre. This section is completely rutted by tractors and should be avoided in wet weather. Take great care when crossing the N31 (a very busy road) between points 5 and 6. The route is either in built-up areas or on flat land. There are no sections through woodland. The only attraction is how easy it is.
