Tips from the Community
Hello or good evening, This hike should not be attempted under any circumstances! The route is impassable: It crosses fields and private property. Furthermore, the beautiful old lock looks more like a brand-new lock. I say "looks like" because it's impossible to get close to it; everything is ugly fenced for a long distance. And as for the paths that are actually field edges, I didn't count the number of hunters' lodges. I felt like I was in an American horror movie set in the heart of Cajun territory; there was even a live pigeon in a trap to serve as bait for... What? A fox, maybe? I also didn't count the astounding number of cut trees and debris on the verges!

Follow the left bank from the centre of Nogent to the Bernière lock and Marnay (be careful, sometimes flooded in winter... but small parallel road towards the Bernière farm and path to Marnay along the railway line)

Possibility by mountain bike or gravel to follow the canal between Port-Montain and Crancey (crossing Nogent-sur-Seine) and join the cycle path which leads to the lakes of the Orient forest
