Donkey Valley

(D/A) From the Champ de Foire car park, opposite the cedars and the school, cross the main road (D104) using the pedestrian crossing.
In front of the school, turn left behind the cedar tree, following the fence. Turn right at the corner of the school and follow the blind alley below.
In the fire brigade yard, turn left and walk down the grassy path to the playground. Continue along this path towards the fence until you reach the chicane on the left. Turn left onto the tarmac road and then right at the next crossroads.

(1) At this point, take the path on the left, leaving the side paths behind.

(2) Turn left. When you reach the road, turn right.

(3) At the crossroads (farmhouse on the right), take the road on the left as far as the top of the village. Leave the first track on the right, which merges with a farm entrance, and take the 2nd track on the right.
After about 500m, turn onto the 1st track on the right which enters the wood.

(4) At the 1st crossroads in the woods, go straight ahead and then take the 1st track on the right. Follow this track, ignoring the paths on the right and left, until you come out of the wood. Opposite you is a large meadow, turn right and then right at the next junction. The path goes back into the undergrowth and descends to the intersection with the route de Vellery.

(5) Cross the road and continue to the entrance to La Poterie.

(6) Drive through this village in a north-easterly direction, ignoring all the paths and roads to the left and right.
Continue until you come to a crossroads with the next road. Follow this road for 50m until you leave it and take the 1st turning on the right.

(7) Turn right again. Follow this path across the fields to the bottom of the valley. Reach a cross track. Turn right onto a small road.

(8) Take this road on the left and continue. As the road curves round to the left, ignore the track to the right.

(9) Before entering Breuilleron, leave a track on the left and take the track on the right. You will see the church of Étais in front of you. Continue until you reach a tarmac road.

(10) Turn left onto this stretch of tarmac road. Before the crossroads, turn right onto the footpath to join the main road.
At the crossroads, go straight ahead towards the church, which you should pass on the left until you reach the Route de la Gare, which you should turn left into for 20 metres and then right into the Rue Hongroise. At the end of this street, turn right. At the stop sign, turn left, then left and right to get back to the starting point (D/A).
