Description by the author

Starting from Novion-Porcien and this path n°38, you will follow both meadows and the stream of "Plumion". You will see the old quarry of Novion-Porcien and gently apprehend the brick buildings and the hills standing out in the landscape.
At the starting sign, head right from the starting sign onto "Rue du Culot".
After 200m, turn right to take the grassy path.
Continue for 500m then proceed on the left path, where you will discover many floral species.
Further down, after 300m, turn right before continuing on the path and then turning right again to follow the stream "Le Plumion".
At the farm, turn left (marker 6/28) then right to reach the road.

At the second bridge, turn left to take "impasse des quatre vents" for 330m.
At the shed, take the left path (marker 10/28).

Continue straight for 1km until "Rue de la Marlière".
This time, cross the D8 to continue on the path that will take you to the right of a metal silo and continue until you cross a fording before climbing back onto a road.
