Tips from the Community
This path is always very difficult and should be avoided if possible; it's maintained by wild boars... It's only passable in dry weather on a full-suspension mountain bike, and in wet weather it's hell.

I am a regular fisherman of the Rué pond, As a reminder the pond is classified Natura 2000, bicycles are prohibited around the pond and dogs must be kept on a leash. The regulations are available at the town hall of Mardié or from the association of the pike of Donnery which manages this pond.

If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque hike, you can visit the Étang du bois de Charbonnière, a pond located in the grounds of the Château de Charbonnière. The pond is fed by the Ruet stream, a tributary of the Bionne river. The territory has been shaped by monks and successive owners who have dug numerous watercourses to drain the land since the Middle Ages. You can enjoy the rich biodiversity of the pond and its surroundings, which includes amphibious plants, such as the Gratiole officinalis (Gratiola officinalis), a protected species.
