The Sainte-Reine Chapel in Villiers-Saint-Benoît

The departure and return point is located at the Pâtis leisure area on the outskirts of the village in the direction of Mézilles.

(D/A) Reach the level crossing. Opposite it, turn left to take the path towards Chapelle Sainte-Reine. Leave the first track on the left. At the chapel, continue straight ahead and after a 90° bend, cross the railway line (watch out for the tourist train).

Go up the path between the hedge on the left and a field on the right. Continue along this path through a wooded area until you reach a crossroads of four paths.

(1) Go downhill on the left, carefully crossing the railway again and then the Ouanne on the Passerelle Cheval.

(2) Carefully cross the D950 and take the track opposite. Leave the paths on the right as you go (not shown on the IGN map, but they are there). Reach a junction of three paths.

(3) Turn left. Leave a path on the left (a chain blocks access to this private path).

(4) At the crossroads and in front of the market garden, cross the road and turn left, keeping to the right-hand shoulder of the property. Leave the road at the entrance to the bend and continue along the track on the right, which leads to a tarmac lane.

(5) Turn right, then left onto the track about 100 metres further on. Continue along the hedges on either side. When you reach a traffic lane, turn left. At the cemetery crossroads, turn left and then right into Rue des Trois Croix.

(6) Carefully cross Rue Augustin Boyer and continue straight ahead. Turn right into Rue des Ferriers and, after crossing one of the branches of the Ouanne, reach the Ferriers wash-house. After the visit, return to Rue Augustin Boyer.

(6) Turn left without crossing it. Walk for about fifty metres, keeping to the left-hand pavement, and go down the alleyway that leads to the back of the church. Keep to your left and you will come to a point in front of the château.
When you reach Rue Augustin Boyer, keep to the left-hand pavement. At the crossroads, turn left.

(7) Pass in front of the Museum entrance, then cross the Ouanne to reach the Pâtis leisure area (D/A).
