Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the manor house, 100 metres from Place de la Liberté (bakery, community hall, church).

(S/E) Turn left onto Rue de Barentin heading north-west (towards the castle) to leave the village, walking along the side road, then the pavement and the footpath that run alongside this road.

(1) Cross the road before the bend at the bottom of the hill and follow the path below that runs along the left side of the road. Pass under a power line twice.

(2) Take the path through the undergrowth next to a meadow. Follow this narrow path for about 500 metres, which then turns into a wider, carriageable track. At the edge of the woods, go through the gate and walk along the basin, a large grassy excavation (not visible on the map).

(3) At the T-junction, turn right, then left onto the tarmac road. Cross the RD90 and continue to the Y-junction.

(4) Turn left at the stop sign in the hamlet of Croix Jacques and continue for about 150 metres. Take the path on the right and follow it to the end.

(5) At the road, turn left and go up the footpath. Pass under another power line.

(6) After the farm entrance, turn left onto the grassy track parallel to the drainage ditch. At the road, turn right and continue straight ahead to the car park (S/E).

A pleasant little route, which must be very muddy when it rains. The section through the woods has a few fallen trees across the path, but nothing insurmountable.
Thank you, Francoisduparc, for this lovely little trail

A pleasant walk that alternates between flat terrain and woods.
We enjoyed the footpaths along the roads, which are handy when walking a dog, even though they are not very busy.

at the start of the hike, the path is impassable after a tractor has driven over it... and... you can clearly see the motorway... turn around and take a stroll in Roumare; beautiful houses.

the map description is very well done, however, between points 2 and 3 at Sainfoin on the map, the path becomes impassable as nature has taken over. You have to take a parallel path to the rear of the castle.

Fortunately, with the app on your phone, it's easier.

Pleasant hike and very clear description. However, the path after the farm entrance (6) is no longer accessible as it is not maintained and the vegetation is very high. You must therefore continue along the road and turn right to reach the starting point.

Information provided by Roumare Town Hall: the oak tree blocking the path has been removed, so you can now enjoy the walk!

I'm really sorry, but as I'm in hospital, I won't be able to reply to you for a few days
Perhaps you could telephone Roumare Town Hall.
Best regards.

Can you tell us if the fallen oak tree has been removed and if the route is open again? We would like to go for a walk this week (8 or 9 June 2019). Thank you in advance for the information.

NO MORE PROBLEM.

ATTENTION!!! This route is temporarily impassable; a huge oak tree has fallen across the path just before WP 6, making it impossible to pass. The side fences prevent any detour.Problem solved today

A beautiful walk in the sunshine through various types of landscape, including plains, meadows and woodland. We had the pleasure of meeting a couple of experienced hikers, which gave us the opportunity to chat and learn a lot about the trails in the region.
Wear trousers rather than shorts when walking through the undergrowth, where vegetation such as nettles and brambles take over.
An easy hike to discover.

There was a minor issue at the start, as we weren't sure which way to take Rue de Barentin (which is also the D67). In fact, opposite the bakery, you need to take Rue de Barentin towards "Le château" (the first small sign followed by several others). Otherwise, the directions are excellent. Most of the route is on flat ground. Only 2 or 3 kilometres are in the woods. However, the route is pleasant if the sun isn't too hot.
