Description by the author

Come discover, via this trail No. 53, the village of Rocquigny and its Mermoz castle. Dive into the history of this well-known aviator who spent his early years in Mainbressy, not far from Rocquigny. Also enjoy the many viewpoints along this pleasant route…
At the starting sign stands before you the castle of Jean Mermoz located on "Rue de la Bauve de l’Isle" heading towards La Romagne.
Your itinerary begins on "Rue de la Malacquise" heading towards Chaumont-Porcien.
On the departmental road at the exit of the village, turn left towards "la Guinguette" passing near the "Ferme du Pont".
Continue for 700m. At the top of the hill, about 250m before the hamlet of Guinguette, turn left then continue straight on this path until you reach the departmental road.
Cross this road to continue on the path opposite.
Continue straight then keep the woods on your left.
Arriving at the intersection, turn left towards "La Verrerie".
A few meters after the bridge, take the path slightly to the right to follow along the woods.
Then continue for 1km until you find a departmental road again.
Continue straight (be careful when crossing) then turn right before entering the woods on your left.
Continue to the top of the climb then turn left towards "Cours des Jourdains" to descend to the place called "Blanche gelée".
Then continue to the road intersection.
Turn left then immediately right to take a path downwards towards Rocquigny for 1.5km.
