Description
- Leaving the town in the direction of the Gandouin and Pinsard mills, walk along the surrounding wall of the Richelieu park. The mills are a reminder that the Richelieu region had an exceptional density of water mills on the Veude, Mâble and Bourouse rivers, as well as windmills in the west of the canton.
- The dry grasslands and forest edges are home to rare plant species such as the ‘reseda phyteuma’ and the ‘pulsatilla anemone’.
- Arriving at ‘Gué des Moines’, whose name evokes a past when bridges were rare and river crossings adventurous, cross the Bois de Fougeray.
- The route runs alongside the Château de Poulesse, built in the 19th century by sub-prefect Hulin, owner of the Richelieu estate.
- Departure : Parking lot by the village hall
