Walk around Bouconville Pond

Park in the church square in the village of Bouconville-sur-Madt.

(S) With your back to the church, turn right onto Rue Gabriel Bousselin.

(1) At the junction with Route d’Apremont, go straight on. Watch out for vehicles – there is a sharp bend with a significant blind spot. Ignore the next three left-hand turn-offs.

(2) Go down the dirt track on the right, towards the pond.
Follow the track and, after 50 metres, go through the gate and turn left.
From here, you’ll often see roe deer and hares in the mornings and evenings. The roe deer aren’t shy either.
The path moves away from the pond and heads north for 300 metres.

(3) At the junction, continue left, taking a 90° bend. After 600 metres, the path branches off to the right and then reaches a crossroads.

(4) At the crossroads, turn left at a 90° angle for 400 metres.

(5) At the next junction, turn left and continue along the white track for 800 metres.
Halfway along, there is a hunting lookout.

(6) At the junction, turn left. Continue for 700 metres and go through the gate.
Carry on straight ahead for 2 km until you reach the starting point.

The path is unpaved for 90 per cent of the route.
No shelters along the route.
