Description of the walk

(S/E) From the church square, take Rue de la Mairie eastwards and pass between the town hall and the cemetery. Take the first street on the right, Rue du Château, which leads into the courtyard of the old castle (admire the residential buildings on your right and the dovecote on your left). Turn left twice.

(1) At the start of a left-hand bend, turn right up the Route (path) de la Ferme de Saint-Nicolas. Walk up the valley beneath the Bois de la Vallée.

(2) At the crossroads, turn right twice and continue uphill (south-east).

(3) At the junction, turn right (west-south-west). After about 500 metres, carry on straight ahead along the unpaved track.

(4) Before the Ferme Saint-Nicolas (hunting lodge), veer left and head down through the woods.

(5) Turn right and take the path leading to the village of Autigny-le-Grand. Walk down into the village along Rue Antoine Labreuveux, passing the war memorial and the town hall.

(6) Turn right onto the Sentier Champ Prieur. Continue straight on (north) to Autigny-le-Petit (S/E).

Thank you, Denis B1, for this constructive comment. It has enabled us to revisit this 2012 walk and update it. It is highly likely that, at that time, the street names had not yet been introduced.

Hello

A very good route

2 updates on the village of AUTIGNY LE GRAND

- The route down into the village follows Rue Antoine LABREVEUX
- The lane on the right is called the ‘Sentier du Champ Prieur’ (information from Google Earth and Cadastre.gouv)

Kind regards
