Description of the walk

The starting point is at Quévreville Town Hall, where you can park. This route is not signposted.

(S/E) From the town hall, walk down into the village via Rue du Centre. At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead on Chemin de la Vallée Galantine. Continue to the end of the path to reach the water treatment plant. Continue to the right to enter the woods.

(1) At the next intersection, turn left.

(2) At the next intersection, turn left and continue along the clearing. Stay on this path until you reach a road.

(3) Cross over and follow the path opposite, then turn left onto the path on the left. Climb up to reach a clearing, follow it along the left-hand side to reach a road and follow it to the right.

(4) Take a break in front of the ecological community garden.
Continue straight on Route du Fresnay, then turn left at the pond. Pass in front of the bookshop.

(5) Then take the next path on the left, in the plain, and follow it to the roundabout at the town hall (S/E).

Hike done in sunny and mild weather.
A fairly short but very pleasant hike. Almost no roads and mostly through woods on shaded, very pleasant paths. Perhaps best avoided after rainy spells. At the end, it's worth stopping off at DTR, a shop selling books at low prices.

A beautiful hike. At the beginning, crossing the village with its beautiful houses makes us forget the tarmac, but in the woods, even in August, slippery and muddy in places, as it had rained the day before. I used the Visorando app for the first time with the GPS, which put me back on the right track because we hadn't seen the intersection on the left after the main road. We also stopped at the community garden, which caught our attention.

Pleasant hike, but didn't complete the whole route due to lack of time. Will do it again, this time in its entirety. Lots of forest.

A very enjoyable family hike, starting in the forest and ending across fields.
Be sure to wear suitable footwear: there is a lot of mud when it rains.
The bench near the pond is the ideal place to take a break (between points 4 and 5).

I followed the route on the map. It wasn't easy without signposts, especially after crossing the road where I missed the turn left onto a path that was difficult to see. For the first time, I used the Visorando app on my phone, which helped me a lot (I prefer paper maps). I had to cut the walk short due to pain in my calf. But the part I did was very good.

The route has two tarmac sections (but the first one isn't too bad as it goes through the village). The wooded sections are pleasant and feature a series of bumps that aren't too difficult but are still enjoyable. As for the garden, it's more of an interesting shared activity. Nevertheless, we had a good time, having only known two short sections in the past.
