Let’s go for a walk in the woods of Moulin-sur-Tardoire

Return to the starting point along the RD110 in the commune of Rancogne - Moulins-sur-Tardoire. Park at the side of the road, on a forest track.

(S/E) Head south-west along the edge of the forest and you’ll reach a fork at elevation 113.

(1) Continue straight ahead, take the dirt track on your left and keep going straight.

(2) At elevation 112, cross a limestone track, go straight on, then keep left. Continue south-east until you reach a dirt track.

(3) Turn left and continue straight on until you reach the edge of the forest, before the hamlet of La Forêt.

(4) Turn left onto a dirt track which allows you to avoid crossing the hamlet, join a track at elevation 116 and continue straight on until you reach another track.

(5) Turn right onto the limestone track up to the 118-metre mark, where you’ll join the GR®4. Follow it by turning left heading due north, then turn left with it.

(6) Leave the GR®4, which heads off to the right, and continue straight on along the forest track until you reach a junction at elevation 129.

(7) Turn right, follow the main track ignoring the access routes created by the logging machines, and rejoin the track you took on the way out at elevation 113

(1) Turn right and return to your car park (S/E).

Make sure you have good walking shoes (clay forest paths) and something to drink.

Most of the walk takes place under mature trees

Enjoy the natural surroundings and the small wild animals you encounter.

Most of the route is off the beaten track.
