Description of the walk

Start at the junction of the Vaux-le-Pénil vineyard trail, known as the Chemin du Bois d'Eplain.

Take the Chemin de la Mare Marotte heading south-east. Turn right onto the Chemin du Bois Dazier, cross the Chemin de la Garenne again after a few bends and you will arrive at Place Mouton (1).
N.B. From Place Mouton, there is a small detour, known as Section 2, which is 2.7 km long.
From Place Mouton, take Tronçon 1 via Rue de la Folie, which you follow until you reach the wooden barrier. Enter the forest and, at the end of the path, take the trail on your right for 700 m and turn left onto Route Royale. At the point (2), take the path on the right. After 250 m, turn right again. Continue along section 1, leaving section 2 on your right. Go through a gate to reach a clearing, which you follow straight ahead (the clearing is on your right). The forest exit leads you to a field (3). Leave the path on your left (Chemin de la Clotée). At the end of the path, you will arrive at the Bois de la Bergerie. At the crossroads (4), leave theGR® opposite, which continues towards Chartrette, and turn right into the undergrowth (avoid the ruts, which are often flooded on rainy days). Follow this path for 500 metres until you reach the edge of the woods. Continue past the metal barrier to the broken cross on the D39 (5). Carefully follow this road on the right for 50 metres, then turn right, and you will be back in the Bois de Livry.
After 500 metres (6), turn left onto Chemin des Fours à Chaux, which will take you 1 kilometre to the barrier at the end of the woods on the street of the same name (7). Follow this street to Rue des Mardelles, where you turn right.
After 100 metres, on the left, the Sentier des Dragées will take you to the charming little church square. Turn right, walk past the small grocery shop (where you can buy supplies) and continue straight on to Rue du Clos de Givry.
At the cemetery, turn left and then left again onto Rue de la Garenne.
Be careful, after 50 metres the path continues on the right alongside the houses in the forest. Follow the pleasant winding path up to Chemin de la Garenne, which you cross. You are now on Chemin des Meuniers, which you follow to the end.
A sign here indicates that after 200 metres on Chemin du Bois d'Eplain, you can take the Vaux le Pénil vineyard trail (another walk).

A lovely little hike on this beautiful winter's day (15°C, no less!). No difficulty, not even the slightest incline, no major points of interest, but a pleasant stroll nonetheless. Oh, yes, at this time of year, the undergrowth is carpeted with daffodils. Superb!
Recommended for a few hours of relaxation, but preferably during a dry spell, because it's clear that after the rains, the terrain quickly becomes impassable.

A nice little hike yesterday in spring-like weather for February. Ideal at this time of year for daffodil pickers. A few muddy patches but nothing insurmountable.

Cool, especially since the yellow markings have been restored...
Soon, this will be linked to the Vaux le Penil vineyard trail to form an 18 km walk, if the town hall and the FFRP do things right.

A very nice little walk in the woods, no mosquitoes, no soggy paths either. But you can clearly see the tracks left by heavy machinery, so don't go when it's raining...And definitely better when the trees have leaves. So it was the perfect time. We parked near the cemetery and started at No. 1. On the way back, we didn't take the time to go back up the path to the planned starting point to see where it was and then do the other short walk. That will be for another time. Thank you for these ideas for walks near our home!

The names given on your route do not exist in reality. There are no names on the trees in the forest.
2 hours 20 minutes is a bit long; we did it in less time, walking slowly. Unless we took the wrong route!
Thank you for this very pleasant hike.

Hello
I haven't scouted out any hikes yet, as I wanted something in the
Melun/Chartrettes and I came across these ones, which look like they would be nice to do.
Thank you very much.

Lots of mosquitoes, due to the trails still being wet. Otherwise, a very beautiful hike.

What you need to bring for this hike at this time of year: mosquito repellent and footwear that is well suited to water and mud. Large sections of the trail are completely flooded over long stretches. I think it's better to do this hike in summer (dry season).
Otherwise, it is very accessible.

It is preferable to start this hike at the cemetery.
There is a short additional 2 km hike marked in red that connects to this GR (most likely for the residents of the retirement home (nice)).

Everything went very well on this hike, which I will adapt for my gentle hiking group.
Thank you.

You're right... it depends on the season... don't hesitate to use the little black mosquito repellent bottle sold in pharmacies (tropical zone). This year, the tiger mosquito is "moving up" France with its friends, the processionary caterpillars...and a visit to www.vauxrandos.fr)

A fairly short walk through the woods.
A large part (20%) was difficult or impossible to walk on, with mud and puddles, due to the passage of agricultural or forestry machinery.
Best avoided after rain.
On the plus side, there is an excellent baker and a mini-market in the village.

I strongly advise against this hike during the summer months because the forest is infested with mosquitoes. It is impossible to escape being bitten, even if you swat them away, and this is true from the start and throughout almost the entire hike, as it is mainly in the forest, which makes it very unpleasant. It's a real shame because the route itself is great.
I will try to do it again in winter so that I can enjoy it in peace, but I will turn back if I encounter even one mosquito at the start.
