This loop through fields and woods will take you to Farges-les-Chalon, a town located in the Thalie valley and adjoining the Champforgeuil aerodrome. You can discover the church of Farges from the 19th century with Romanesque re-uses from the 11th and 12th centuries. Finding the starting point: The starting totem is located Place des Platanes near the Saint-Nicolas wash house. Take rue Chaumont along the stream to the sign post for green walks. (1) Take the dirt road on the right which leads after a few meters to the fields. (2) Then follow a path on the left between housing estate and fields. (3) Leave the path and turn right to walk along the cemetery. Follow the wide dirt road that crosses the fields. Leave the electrical transformer on the left and continue to the marked fork. (4) At the signs, follow the path to the right (Farges via the Bois de Nainglet). (5) At the ONF barrier, continue straight across the railway bridge and reach the church of Farges.
