Leaving the parking lot, a short stop is a must: the Montaigu fountain. You can also return there after your outing to enjoy the picnic area.

From the first few kilometers, a gentle but continuous climb leads to a plateau offering a beautiful panorama. The rest of the route promises to be pleasant: a shaded trail winds through the trees.

Along the way, the forest village of Forêt Chenu invites you to take a break. Cider lovers will find this an opportunity to discover the local vintages. But save some energy: the rest of the route features a beautiful steep climb.

After crossing the main road, it's time to get active: the climb to the Sommeval balcony is demanding, but the reward is worth it. Up there, the landscape opens up to a splendid view.

All that's left is to gently descend along the trail you took on the outward journey, which will lead you back to the starting point.

Montaigu Fountain and Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Montaigu fountain and pond are perfect places to take a break. The place has a picnic table and playground. On the hill of Montaigu, located above the source, was once the castle of the Counts of Champagne. The stronghold was destroyed in the 15th century following the Treaty of Troyes. At the top of the mountain, you have a panoramic view of the plain.

Chenu Forest

Highlight • Settlement

This forest village is located in the heart of the Othe forest massif. Very close to the Trojan city, it is a bit like its green lung. The country of Othe, as it is also nicknamed, is a chalky block which stretches over 60 kilometers long. Cider is his specialty. Whether sweet or fruity, amateurs will appreciate a good bowl. Champagne does not have the prerogative of bubbles.

View of Sommeval

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gentle hills, vast forests surrounding it and fields of wheat or barley bending in the wind, the valley of the village of Sommeval has something welcoming and peaceful. At the edge of the forest, the view is remarkable.
