Circular loop between Houdent and Toeufles

de fr

This easy, short walk takes you through a lovely little valley between the woods (where you may spot roe deer) before passing through Rogeant and Toeufles. Look out for some typical Picardy houses as well as the châteaux of Rogeant and Toeufles. The climb back up to the plateau offers a beautiful view of the Trie valley, before heading back to Houdent.

Hike through the Longpres-les-Corps-Saint marshes: several intertwined circular loops, making it hard to find your way and very poorly signposted.

A peaceful, countryside route just the way we like it. Beautiful houses, friendly people, castles, woods and fields – a lovely route to explore, taking about two hours. We saw lots of pheasants. The only slight downside was the bit along the road, but it wasn’t too long and there weren’t many cars. Thank you for this route.

Hello, and thank you to the person who put together this short route.
We enjoyed the little village of Houdent, where we had a picnic before setting off on the walk.
At point 1, the path branching off to the left at the bottom of the descent from the village is very pleasant at first, but halfway along and up to point 2 it was quite overgrown and could well become completely blocked. We made our way through anyway, with a few stings from nettles and scratches from brambles thrown in for good measure – nothing serious.
We extended the route slightly by leaving it at point 5 to climb up to the church and chapel (closed), then heading to Bouillancourt and its hidden private château, followed by the Zoteux farm, before rejoining the route at point 6 (a total of 15.7 km).
A very beautiful route through varied landscapes and lovely Picardy houses well worth a few photos.
We only caught a glimpse of a single castle on the way out of Rogeant.
Thanks again for this route.

A short, scenic route that can be completed in an hour and a half at a leisurely pace.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but pleasant in fine, dry weather.
A bit of tarmac with poorly protected pedestrians; fortunately, the road isn’t very busy.

⚑Departure from Moyenneville (Somme) (Somme)
Rideau: a rather local term for a hedge of copses to break the wind, which is commonly found on this hilly route in the heart of the green Vimeu region. There are some lovely stretches along the banks of the Trie and a ford near the Chaussoy manor house that is well worth admiring before tackling a steep climb through the undergrowth. This route is signposted by the local council, but this version is a shortened one.

Starting from the charming village of Cahon, nestled in the Trie valley, this lovely walk will take you to Quesnoy-le-Montant before returning along pleasant paths through woods and pastures to your starting point. The inhabitants of Quesnoy-le-Montant are called Quercitains, hence the name of this walk. As for Cahon, the starting and finishing village, you will find a flour mill that is still in operation and produces flour, one variety of which is reserved for the "Avocette" baguette sold in Quesnoy-le-Montant, but also in other bakeries in the Somme. In short, this is a gastronomic and heritage walk.
