Departure from the Champ de Foire (motorhome park).

(D/A) Cross the Rue du Petit Pont and go downhill along the Chemin de la Déplaisance (furthest to the left), heading north-west. As you cross the road, let a track go off to the right. You will come to the hamlet of Les Jolivots (cross on the right).

(1) Take the small road to the west (ignore the road to the right, which serves a few houses in the village).
Continue to the end, passing the Château de Ratilly on your left (you can go round it).

(2) Continue past the hamlets of Les Martins, Bourg-sans-Paille and Les Pautrats.

(3) At the end of the road, which is lined with pollarded trees, take the sandy track heading north-west.
Leave the first path on the right (forestry lane) and continue to the next crossroads.

(4) Take the path on the right and go down, leaving a footpath on the right.

(5) Pass at the foot of the Neufs Pas site. Keep to the left until you reach a main road (D955).

(6) Carefully cross the road and turn right downhill (the path runs alongside the wood fence) to reach the site of the Guédelon fortified castle.
At the end of the visit, retrace your steps.

(5) Turn left (visually, almost straight ahead). Cross the ford either on the footbridge or on foot, depending on the water level in the stream. Forget the path to the left and join Château Colnot (a single house on the right).

(7) Turn right, passing a small pond. At the fork in the road, turn right and you will come to a junction of 5 paths, one of which is a wider forest track.

(8) Take the 2nd track on the left. There are a few side roads to avoid. After a clearing with a field on the right, there is a track on the right.

(9) Take this and continue until you reach the first crossroads. Turn right and then left at the second crossroads. Then continue straight on as you come out of the wood. This brings you back to the starting point (D/A).
