Route details
Description
Initially, several car parks are available: Place de la République, car park at the old barn (Route de Saint-Amand), car parks around the town hall.
(D/A) Facing the entrance to the castle, turn left onto Rue Michel Lepelletier. Cross the two successive bridges which span the Ruisseau du Bourdon. Take the path on the right which runs along an arm of the street. Reach the wash house, turn right, then left into Ruelle du Bourneuf, a hundred meters further.
Cross Rue Raymond Vernay with caution. At the end of the protected passage, turn right. Then turn left onto Rue du Bailly Regnault. At the cross road, head to the right and go up this main street until you reach a crossroads at the foot of a chapel on the right.
(1) Continue straight ahead, leaving the Pautrats farm on the right and arriving at the D85 road, without crossing it.
(2) Go down the path on the left. Little by little, it sinks into a wooded area and passes under a structure over which a train once passed.
(3) Cross the bridge which spans the Loing to begin a good climb which ends on a small road (leave the departures on the right).
(4) Turn left to reach the Dalibeaux farm.
(5) Go down the path on the left opposite the main entrance to the farm. Cross the Loing again, this time, on a stone footbridge. At the houses, the track becomes a road and goes up to find a path on the right.
(6) Take it and keep it until the cemetery and Sainte-Anne Chapel.
(7) At the corner of the latter, turn left to reach Avenue de la Puisaye. Turn right and at the next crossroads, enter the town on the left (Rue Porte Marlotte), then right, Rue des Écoles to keep until the end of the administrative building. In front of the Passage du Loing, turn left onto Rue Jacques Cœur to find the castle (D/A).
