Leaving from the Philippe Jourdain leisure centre, a lake and small local animal park...
The lake in the heart of the village is the starting and finishing point. The route joins one of the oldest streets in the village to reach the Maupertuis manor house (15th century), then on to Bellevue and enjoy a wide panoramic view of the Auvers countryside and beyond. The walk continues around La Bélisière, pausing to observe a remarkable oak tree, before reaching the LGV, which runs alongside part of the path. Passing close to the Croix de l'Ormeau, which refers to an old roadside cross, the walk continues towards Chantemesle, whose farm was destroyed by the LGV, noting the passes to allow game and other animals to cross the tracks, And after crossing the D75 (Auvers - Poillé), and walking through the valleys of the hedged farmland, the walk continues towards La Locherie and La Gravetière, with its magnificent tunnel of immense cedars that should not be used, the correct path is on the left. A wide hedge-lined path leads towards Ruillé and, skirting a pasture where horses are being turned out to pasture, you come to La Bailleullerie, leaving the wash-house on your left to return to the lake.
