Description

Departure from the Foyer Rural car park (Route de Sainpuits).
(D) Head towards the town; in front of the EDF transformer, turn into the street on the left. At the Stop sign, turn left, direction Perreuse (South-West). Pass in front of the Fontaine des Gilets, then 100m above, take the path on the left (agricultural shed on the right). Arriving at Croix-St-Nicolas, turn left and follow until you reach the asphalt road.

(1) At this crossroads, take the small road which goes down to the right. Travel 200m to discover the source of the Loing and the stele erected in 1994 retracing the route of the Loing.

(2) Leave again, still following this route. At the next crossroads, turn right and continue to the hamlet of Guittons.

(3) At the exit of this village, take the small path on the left which leads to the source which, in fact, is the first resurgence of the Loing. Indeed, from its source, the Loing travels underground and reappears here, then, a few steps away, goes underground again and reappears a little further away. Retrace your steps and, arriving on the road, turn left. Continue crossing the Gressiens, the Rameaux.

(4) At the exit of this hamlet, take the path on the left for 200m. Go down the right path. It ends at the Montillon source. One hundred meters after this fountain, take the road on the right. Be careful, car traffic!

(5) Arriving very close to the town of Sainte-Colombe, take the road which goes on the left, towards Les Landris, a hamlet to cross in its entirety until the next path on the right.

(6) Take this path located 150m after the last houses. Continue leaving the path on the left, cross the Loing, then go up towards the hamlet of Thomas. Arriving at the road, turn right then immediately after, take the dirt road on the left.
Arriving on the small road, turn right until you reach the Desleaux fountain, go down to the source and the wash house.

(8) Head back along the road to the crossroads 100m away to take the path opposite. Continue until the next road.

(9) Going down this path, pass in front of the Boutin spring and wash house.

(10) A little further on, at the height of the pond, a large underground river flows under your feet, it feeds the water table of the Paris Basin. Go up to the road and turn right. On the descent, take an open path which takes you to the Fontanelles source. Go up this path, take the road to the right then continue until the intersection with a perpendicular road - watch out for traffic -.

(11) Turn left then, 50m away, turn right onto the dirt road which takes you back to the starting point (D/A).
