Departure from the church car park, Place du Moine Glaber.
(S/E) Head towards the village. At the town hall square, turn slightly to the right and follow Rue de la Forge. At the stop sign, take the dirt road opposite.
(1) At the main road, keep to the left-hand side for 400 metres and turn left towards Les Proux de la Route. This small road continues as a dirt track. Stay on this main track and turn right at the sharp bend (ignore the path on the left) to join a small tarmac road.
(2) Cross it and follow the signs for Les Belles Fontaines. Walk for 150 metres and turn right onto the path. Follow it, ignoring any entrances into the woods or fields. Near the end, this sunken lane becomes difficult to follow, so take the path on the left between the woods and the old sunken lane to reach the first pond on this route: the Charmoy pond.
(3) Go up the road on the right and take the first road on the left. You will arrive at a crossroads with four paths.
(4) Leave the path on the left (private) flanked by two stone columns and take the path opposite, which runs alongside a wooded moor separating you from the Bourdon reservoir (a very wild area) for about 450 metres. You will reach the start of a path on the right.
(5) Take this path, which climbs steadily and leads to a crossroads.
(6) Turn right. At Les Guérins, turn left (the entrances on the right lead to the farm).
(7) Cross the D85 road with caution and go down the small tarmac road towards Les Clergeaux. In front of the entrance to the property, turn right onto the dirt track. Continue until you reach a crossroad.
(8) Go down to the left, cross Les Petits Clergeaux. The road becomes a path, crosses the old railway line, passes the Loing river and goes back up to the road.
(9) Turn right to reach the dyke of the Moutiers pond.
(10) Don't hesitate to walk back and forth along the dyke before continuing along the small road that runs along the left side of the pond. This road, which runs parallel to the pond, is lined with trees and leads to a crossroads with four roads.
(11) Turn right, cross the bridge over the stream and continue to the junction with the D85.
(12) Go down to the right to cross the old railway line. After the house, turn to cross the D85 carefully towards Moutiers en Puisaye.
(13) Cross the bridge over the Loing to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
