La Chapelle Saint-Marc

Departure from the Champ de Foire parking lot in Leugny (along the Ouanne river). (D/A) Follow the parking lot to exit opposite the Grande Rue into the Ruelle des Mulets. At the crossroads, opposite the road, turn left into Rue de l'Église Saint-Martin (D125 towards Chastenay). Drive alongside the cemetery. (1)Cross the D125 and take the first turning on the right. Climb up and enter the woods. (2) Shortly afterwards, turn left. Ignore a footpath on the right and turn right onto the next one. Continue along this main path, leaving the starters on the right, until you reach a crossroads with a path going off at 45° to the right and a path turning at right-angles. (3) Choose the latter, as this part is flat until the 2nd T-junction. At this junction, turn right uphill. (4) Turn left and start downhill to find a junction of 4 paths. Go straight ahead. Enter a narrow path lined with hedges. This descent is fairly rapid (not marked on the IGN map). (5) Shortly before the end of the descent, turn right onto a path winding through an open garden. Stay on this path, with steps and handrail, until you reach the washhouse on your left (just after the path climbs to your left). Walk along it towards the church and the former weighing area. Go downhill on the right, cross the street and turn left for about 50m. Take the right-hand road towards Ouanne. Keep going straight up until you find a track. Take it and go straight up through the hamlet of Chicorneau. (6) Go straight ahead on this road for approx. 400m and cross 2 perpendicular paths. (7) Turn left and go straight downhill to reach a cross-country track. (8) Turn right and keep to this track, bordered by cereal crops. Continue, reaching the first houses in Les Granges, where the road becomes tarmac. Keep to the left of the road and cross the Ouanne. Pass the Moulin des Granges on your left and reach the Chapelle Saint-Marc. (9) Carefully cross the D950. Climb the lane opposite. It quickly becomes a road. At the T-junction, turn left. Continue along this road, leaving the first track on your right. You'll come to a crossroads (the one opposite merges with the vegetation, October 2019). (10) Turn left onto a small road. (11) Turn left for approx. 400m. Turn left onto a wide, grassy track bordered by a hedge on your left. You will come to a road (D950). (12) Given the layout of the site, turn right without crossing the road. After about 50 m, you'll come to a path perpendicular to the road. Cross carefully and take this path. Cross the ford on the bridge. Reach the cemetery. (1) Turn right, keeping to the right-hand shoulder. At the crossroads, turn right down the street you came from (D/A).
