Description of the walk

Park in the town hall car park.

(S/E) Take the path on the left of the D54 road, with your back to the town hall, to reach the church.

(1) Cross the D54 carefully to take the path opposite, at the corner of the house. Continue straight downhill to reach a junction, after a right-hand bend, with theGR®221a.

(2) Turn right to reach the Moulin de Roucamps.

(3) Turn left further on, go down the road on the right and, at the next bend, leave the track on the left leading to Mont Pinçon.
At the second bend, leave the road and go down the path opposite, which joins the D116. Turn right and cross a bridge.

(4) Take the D106 road on the right for a few dozen metres, then go up a path on the left. At the T-junction, turn right, take the path on the left and cut across the "Villettes" road, then rejoin the D106.

(5) Follow it to the left. Pass "Haut des Bois" and reach a large crossroads with the D54.

(6) Cross this road carefully, then climb up the path opposite to an intersection.

(7) Take the path on the right for a few dozen metres, turn right again and follow the ridge to a crossroads. Go down the path on the right towards "Le Postil". You will arrive at the crossroads at the entrance to the village.

(8) Turn left, cross the hamlet and, just before the village exit, in a left-hand bend, take the small road on the right to the junction with the D54.

(9) Cross carefully and take theGR®221apath hidden by the trees on the right. Return to the junction of the circular.

(2) Turn right onto the path you took on the way there to reach Roucamps, a picnic area and the car park (S/E).

A beautiful hike along very pretty paths, a little muddy in places. We'll gladly do it again when the weather is nice.

A very beautiful route with many sunken paths. Beautiful panoramic views.
Some elevation gain but accessible to most hikers.

Hiking trails accessible to all with very little elevation gain. A great way to ease back into hiking after two months of lockdown. Very well marked, so there's no risk of getting lost in the hills. Highly recommended.

A very beautiful spring hike. 24/05/2020. After lockdown, the paths show that they have not been used for some time. The local signposting is well done. You can avoid doing the final small circular route by going up the small road on the right at point 8 and taking the path opposite at the intersection, which arrives between points 2 and 1 (marked by broken black lines on the IGN map), thus avoiding an area that can be very wet in rainy weather.
