Ride through the most important vestige of the great forest of Rambouillet and discover a vast clearing in its heart where the pretty village of Clairefontaine nestles.
Departure: At the Huttopia campsite in Rambouillet, route de l'Etang d'Or. Park in the car park just before the campsite entrance on your right.
1. Leaving the car park, take the cycle path in front of you which runs along the pond (on the left) and the campsite (on the right).
2. Arrived at the bridge, at the end of the pond do not cross it and continue straight on the marked path GR (white and
Red).
3. At the fork on the right then immediately on the left at the crossroads and straight on until the D 27 (follow the GR).
4. At the road, opposite by the path then always straight on this path following the GR markings.
5. The path takes a right turn, then a left turn, then you come to an intersection. At this intersection
leave the GR and turn right then straight ahead until the 2nd crossroads that you will cross.
6. At the crossroads with the forest plots 21.10 in front on the left and behind on the left and 21.15 behind on the right, turn right until you reach a large star-shaped crossroads with an arrow post.
7. At the Bongard post, continue straight on via the Bongard road (3rd on the right) until the next large crossroads.
8. At the crossroads, 2nd left on chemin de Robert Joly (CR 22) then always straight on to the road.
9. At the road, cross it and take the path opposite (CR 22) until you come back to a road.
10. Again on a road, turn right and walk along the national technical center of the French Federation
of Football on your left.
11. At the stop sign at the D 72, cross it and take the impasse opposite (chemin des Yvelines). 175 m further in the
downhill you pass a barrier.
12. At the end of the descent at the crossroads with the CR 18 "Chemin des Sables", turn left then straight on to the D 27 which you take on the left to the town hall.
13. Opposite the town hall, take the "Chemin de l'Essart" on the right, direction Salle des Fêtes.
14. At the village hall, cross the bridge and take the path opposite "CR 7 de Clairefontaine à Loireux" which you continue straight ahead until you reach a road after a water tower. Be careful towards the end of the path, long and difficult climb over 500m.
15. At the road right on the PR (yellow) and GR (white and red).
16. In the large bend to the right, leave the road and continue straight on in the forest on the CR 1 "Chemin de St-Arnoult" without ever leaving it, always following the GR markings until you reach a road.
17. At the road turn right then immediately left on the cycle path. Soon you walk along a fence on your right, it is the Rambouillet space animal park. You will cross a road, cross it and continue straight ahead on the cycle path: you are back at the Etang d'or car park.
