Petits et grands étangs de Puisaye

For parking, the Château, Place du Marché and Maison de Santé parking lots are ideal. (D/A) From the Place de la Maison de Santé (also called Place Blanche), turn right at the display column and go up. Leaving the Musée Colette, turn left after the Sarrasine tower. Go through the gate and up Rue de Bel Air to the stop sign. Cross straight on and continue, leaving every road on your right and left. (1) At the first crossroads along the D955, turn left for 50 m, cross the road and go straight down. (2) Pass over the dike of the Etang des Barres (private), continue to the D7. Turn left. (3) At Etang de la Folie on the right, go straight on. In a large curve on the right, opposite the fir trees, turn right towards Les Boulmiers. At the first stop sign, go straight ahead. Drive past Les Boulmiers, then downhill to reach the Moutiers pond at the crossroads. You can see it behind the trees. (4) At this crossroads, take the second right. Follow the pond, sometimes hidden, sometimes open to view, depending on the season. When you reach the dike, take it as far as the railway tracks. (5) Go straight across these tracks, up this road to the next junction with the D85. Cross over to take the right-hand lane, direction Les Quinaux - Charmoy. (6) Drive over the Charmoy pond dike. At the top of this lane, turn right (large metal gates in front of you). Follow the woods, with a fence on the left forming the northern boundary of the Boutissaint animal park. (7) Turn right into a small lane with a house on the right and, a little further on, a house on the left. Continue for 200m and turn right at the bottom of the descent. (8) Turn left (campsite on right). Next left, next right. Pass between a small housing estate of wooden houses on the right and the equestrian farm on the left. Take the next left down to the edge of the reservoir and then along a vacation camp (this part along the Bourdon is less smooth). (9) When you reach the reservoir, take the dike road and continue along this road, which overlooks the reservoir, diverges slightly in places and ends at Les Midoux. (10) Go straight ahead. Drive along the west side of the Boutissaint park, leaving the entrances on your left. After the big curve on the right, keep going until you reach the crossroads with the D955. (11) Turn left. (12) Leaving the Château de Guédelon and, as you round the bend, the Etang de Guédelon on your left. (13) A few houses, then, on the right, the Chassin pond. Continue, passing a first crossroads of 4 roads, then a second. Go downhill and in the middle of the straight, after 3 houses on the left, at the crossroads of 4 roads, turn right. (14) Head for Les Veillats and take the first left (leaving La Bussière des Bois opposite). Leave the next lane on the right, then the lane that enters the Jacquots farm, and continue along this small, pretty but winding road. Pass through Les Dubois and continue straight downhill to the next crossroads. (15) On your right, you'll come to the Orme du Pont pond, which you follow until you come to a stop sign. Make a quick right-left and climb up the well-shaded lane. (16) At the first crossroads of 4 roads, turn left. At the fork in the road, turn slightly right along a wooded area and cross the artisanal zone. (17) Cross the railroad tracks, turn left and continue straight ahead. (18) Once you reach Rue des Renards, keep going up this road, which becomes Rue de la Roche. Find the parking lot entrance on the right and the starting point (D/A).
