Saint-Léger 5km Ramble through the woods to the north of village

 

Photos from our walk from Saint-Léger in August 2023.

5km Ramble - mainly flat.  

Largely on tracks through the woods but a short distance on small tarmac roads.

Shady in the forest and quite short so a good walk for the height of summer.

Points of interest - The forest and the Eglise as well as Le Logis (interesting building).

Start point - Parking for the Salles des Fêtes, 1 place de 19 mars 1962, Clion-sur-Seudre, 17240.  (ample parking for many cars).

Link to itinerary : Parking by the Eglise Saint Léger, 2 Rue du Logis 17800 Saint-Léger.  Plenty of parking.

The route is shown on the tourist office map below (directions in French) ;


The route can also be traced on the IGN Serie Bleue Map 1532 Pons.
