At first, in the village, we got lost. I think that if you gave detailed street names, there would be fewer mistakes than if you gave details that we cannot see or do not know.
We couldn't find the entrance to the woods after the three-way junction.
They were flooded.
We walked along the edge of the woods and fields.
I should point out that we don't have an IGN map.
Very quiet and a pleasant walk nonetheless.

Today's route. The explanations are a bit sketchy, but with the map, it's impossible not to find the paths. This route dates back to 2013, when we were less demanding about route descriptions.

It should be specified at point (1) that you turn right before the bridge, towards the stadium. You follow the canal, but you are below it, so you can't see it.

Another tricky point is the entrance to the marsh, 200m after (3). The path does exist, but a local resident has blocked it with branches, which you have to go around.

This is an easy route because it is flat. Despite the heavy rain, we managed to stay dry.

Thanks to whoever suggested it.

At the start, take the path, add 'to the right' to make sure you are on the right path as you cannot see the canal.

In the description, it could have been specified at the outset that it was the first path before the bridge
because the path runs parallel to the canal and you can't see it... this creates some doubt
Otherwise, it's a nice little route.

An interesting route, passable despite the season and very pleasant to do....The only downside for me was the section on the road between 4 and the start, which was much less enjoyable.

Part of the route is no longer passable (between points 3 and 4). A detour is possible by following the edge of the wood.

An interesting hike very close to Reims that allows us to discover the heritage of the Champagne region.
Very pleasant paths that are accessible despite the season, with varied landscapes. No problems finding your way with the map and description.
Thank you.

pschmitz, on the satellite image, you can clearly see a fairly wide path leading off the road at (3) at the edge of a wood...

A very easy and enjoyable hike. The section near Christian Lapie's workshop is particularly beautiful. As is the section in front of Edouard Mignot's castle.

However, there are two negative points:
- Impossible to find the path between points 3 and 4
- The paths are completely unmaintained

A pleasant and easy 8 km walk on flat terrain. Ideal for a morning outing when you need to be back before noon. For a coffee break, there is a shelter near the church in Courmelois.

Between points 3 and 4, I followed the edge of the woods because the path inside the woods was impassable. As the map was accurate, I was able to find the route again quite easily at the castle.
Regret: You pass a few metres from the canal without seeing it.
and you follow the road for a few hundred metres, so keep an eye on the children.

The route between points 3 and 4 is overgrown. It is best to follow the edge of the woodland at this time of year. The rest of the route is very pretty and pleasant. Thank you!
