Château-Landon

Curiosities circuit

Curiosity: what catches the attention, the interest. The many sites and monuments that mark out this pleasant hike best meet this definition.

They are from all periods, from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, and from the Renaissance to the 19th century. You will thus discover them in the town of Château-Landon as in its nearby countryside.

1 - With your back to the Tourist Office, go left and turn left twice to follow rue Moïse. Take the rue de la Ville Forte on the left (north postern). At the level of the old St Séverin Abbey, climb the path (staircase) to the left then the road to the left, leaving the streets to the right and to the left. Go up the Chemin des Carrières to the right. Keep the same direction and go behind the sports fields. Walk along the wood then leave it.
2 - Turn right, follow the road to the left towards Mocpoix. 50 m after the water tower, take the path on the right to bypass the hamlet. At the cross continue straight, cross the street and take the Chemin des Grattiers opposite. Walk along the wood for 1500 m, enter the Bois de Montuffé [on the right, the polissoirs site (A)] and descend to the right towards the Loing canal.
3 - After the pumping station, turn right along the canal. Go past the canal bridge (B). Leave the canal to follow the path to the right which crosses a stream. Turn right into the lane and left into the next one which crosses the Concorde and leads to Château-Landon. 150m to the left of the entrance to Pont Franc, access to the Pontfrault bridge (C) and, to the right of the hamlet, view of the old abbey-leper colony (D). Continue on the road, walk alongside the mill of Gillier then take the rue de St Séverin on the left. Pass at the foot of the old Abbey, turn left onto the D43. Take the Amoureux's path to the right.
4 - Walk along "le Fusain", pass the large communal wash house and enter the Tabarderie park. Leave the bridge on the right then cross the next one. Go up the path and turn right onto Chemin de la Haie de Banse.
5 - Follow the street on the left (ruined tower on the right), rue du Général de Gaulle on the right (Tour St André) then rue St André on the left. Turn right on rue Jallemain, go straight ahead and cross place St André. Turn left onto Boulevard Carnot then the street to the right and the second to the left. Make a left-right and take the rue de France then turn in the second street to the right rue Thiers. Turn twice to the left to come out on rue du Gâtinais. Follow it to the right then take rue Galland on the left to the Place du Marché and the Tourist Office.
