Souligny walks

Cross the Souligny Communal Forest, descend into the Val de Gloire along the Sentier des Moutons, then visit the Montaigu nature site, the remains of the Gallo-Roman oppidum and the ruins of the castle, with a panoramic view of the Champagne plain on the way back. The route follows sections of several well-signposted Sentiers des Moutons trails (8 km, 12 km, 14 km).

This trail follows one of the sheep tracks that allowed herds to move from the surrounding villages to the Essarts plateau when it was used as grazing land in the 19th century. Since then, it has become a beautiful forest.

From the heights of Laines-aux-Bois, descend to the plain, visit the Fontaine site, the remains of the Gallo-Roman oppidum and the traces of the castle at the Montaigu nature site, then return via the Sentier des Moutons trail, ending with a walk through the charming hamlet of Les Grandes Vallées. This route avoids the steepest paths.

The Sentier du Loup trail circles Sommeval. This pretty little village stretches out in a valley which, like an amphitheatre, is surrounded on three sides by wooded hills. The trail allows visitors to discover one of the last dry grasslands in the Pays d'Othe. The trail is well maintained and clearly marked, but it is not recommended during the hunting season, from November to February.

This variation of the Loup trail goes around Sommeval, a pretty little village nestled in a valley which, like an amphitheatre, is surrounded on three sides by wooded hills. The trail allows you to discover one of the last dry grasslands in the Pays d'Othe and to cross the forests of Javernant and Sommeval. The trail is well maintained and clearly marked, but it is not recommended during the hunting season, from November to February.

A short walk overlooking the villages of Bercenay and Vauchassis.

Hike from the heights of Montgueux on the ridges overlooking Mesnil Vallon, crossing Macey and its national forest, then returning along the vineyards overlooking La Grange au Rez with a bird's eye view of Troyes.

Walk in the Forest of Othe on the border of the Yonne department. The village of Bérulle itself is already very pretty. But the forest paths are charming and peaceful, very pleasant!

Between lake and forest, countryside and orchards, this route includes the Sentier du Lapin Blanc (White Rabbit Trail). Revealing a preserved village and its barns, crossing a wood, open countryside and green meadows, running along the beach and the dyke, this route sums up all the attractions of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Nature Park.

The route is fairly simple and allows you to walk along the paths around Prusy. It is mainly paths, but there are also a few sections on the road (essential for getting to the church). When you arrive at Saint-Edme Church, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the fields.

This circular route allows you to reach Coussegrey via the paths from Prusy. This route is fairly simple with a few climbs and stony paths. It is an easy route, but wear good, comfortable shoes to enjoy these beautiful trails.

The shaded forest atmosphere typical of the humid Champagne region can be enjoyed along this entire route, which is accessible on foot or by mountain bike. This route is strongly discouraged during the forest hunting season, from October to March, on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Connecting Géraudot Beach on Lac d'Orient and the golf course located in the forest area, this route passes through different environments: meadows bordered by hedges, open farmland, dense deciduous forests, and the charming village of Géraudot.

Half of this forest route follows the Vélovoie cycle path, revealing a wide variety of lakeside landscapes: the submerged forest of Lac d'Orient, the unobstructed view from the Lac du Temple dyke. This is in stark contrast to the dirt tracks of thesecond part of the route, which takes you through forests and countryside.

This route leads to a local landmark, Le Gros Chêne, where a sign recounts the history of this three-hundred-year-old oak tree, which is no longer there, but where an oak tree from the year 2000 was planted by the village schoolchildren in 2002 to mark the turn of the century and to remember our venerable ancestor.
