Camerolle

The starting point is at the foot of the church and the Monument du Souvenir. (D/A) Go up Rue Henri Harpignies, past Rue Saint-Cartaud. When you reach the signposted Bléneau - Camerolle crossroads, don't fall into the trap, turn left and forget about this invitation. (1) As Rue des Étangs bends round, turn left onto the hedged path. Climb this and turn right-angled at an old crossroads (partly blocked off opposite - November 2019). On the left, in a window cut into the hedge, a lovely view of the village and a reproduction of a work by painter Henri Harpignies. (2) Turn right and continue under cover on this fairly wide track, which leads to a tarmac road. Take this on the right. (3) Take a left-right turn off the D221 and take the grassy, well-shaded path. At the crossroads, turn right. Descend, passing over the Ruisseau de l'Étang de la Filonnière, then climb back up, keeping to the bend in the path (the trace opposite between two fences is the result of animals passing through). (4) At the farm with open-air poultry pen, turn left. Opposite the Petit Magny house, turn left again. (5) Turn right. After a right-angled bend, continue along the ditch on your right, crossing it shortly after on the culvert, then turn left immediately after the culvert. Continue, keeping the ru on your left. The path ends and gives way to a tarmac road which leads to the Foyards farm. (6) Cross the crossroads and take the road opposite to the houses at Les Guenins. The road soon ends in a path which leads to a crossroads. Opposite the field framed by woods, turn right (the track is not shown on the IGN map). Cross the road and go straight ahead on the gravel path, which initially zigzags. Pass under the power line. You arrive at the Camerolle farm on a tarmac road. (7) Cross straight over at the crossroads and go downhill following the road signs for "Le Moulin de Camerolle". Follow a track to the right, and cross the bridge over the Rigole de Saint-Privé. (8) Immediately after this bridge, turn right and continue along the Rigole. Keep to the right until you reach Rue Henri Harpignies. This well-shaded stretch runs alongside wild areas, gardens and the pond. (9) Turn right up the street and return to the starting point (D/A).
