L'Abigand - PR N°65

A nature walk through forests and valleys:
Departing from the Nogent fitness trail, this 8.5 km circuit (approximately 2 hours' walk) takes you on a lovely forest loop, accessible to all the family. The trail begins gently in the Vernon-Fays wood, passing in front of the associations' chalet, then skirts a peaceful edge with a view of the farm at Pincourt-le-Haut. As you descend towards the Plesnoy valley, you will pass alongside a small, shady stream and reach a forest spring. Dirt steps then lead down to a pleasant grassy lane, perfect for a break. The return journey takes you through fields, undergrowth and old quarries, before coming full circle on a wide woodland path where you may well come across a number of protected wildflowers. A gentle, varied walk, perfect for reconnecting with nature, especially in summer when the coolness of the woods is much appreciated. Once you've finished your walk, a visit to the famous Nogent cutlery factory is a must!
