There are currently four marked hiking trails in the municipality of Cherisy. The loops are identified by different colors; green-marked connecting paths link them together. Each marked loop is between 5 and 10 kilometers long. To choose a route, you can consider your preferred distance and check whether a connecting path between loops suits your outing. Before setting out, check the local route information.

Hiking Routes Through Varied Landscapes

One specific point of comparison is “Sur les pas de Victor Hugo.” The hike is about 5 kilometers long, placing it roughly at the lower end of the overall range. It passes through Cherisy’s old streets and forms a loop through the valley. In this way, it brings together two distinct features: the old part of the town and the course of the valley. If you want to choose by distance, this route offers a shorter option among the marked hikes.

The three other routes described by name offer different highlights. “La boucle des Gâts” passes through the forests of Les Gâts des Osmeaux. “Vallées et Collines” runs through Le Petit-Chérisy, Les Osmeaux and Fermaincourt, offering varied landscapes and beautiful panoramas. “La boucle de Raville” passes through the hamlet of Raville and around the Vallée Verte and Fonds Eaux forests. When choosing, you can consider whether you prefer specifically named forests, varied landscapes with panoramas, or a route through a hamlet.

Church, Architecture and Literature

Cherisy also offers cultural points of interest spanning different periods. The oldest part of today’s Église Saint-Pierre de Chérisy probably dates from the 12th century. In 2016, the Minoterie dite Les Moulins de Chérisy received the “Architecture contemporaine remarquable” label. This brings together a church section that is probably medieval and a mill recognized for remarkable contemporary architecture.

Victor Hugo is another cultural connection: he stopped in the Vallon de Chérisy and wrote an elegy there. Together with the connections to the church and architecture, this offers another perspective on the municipality, distinct from its hiking trails.

Horseback Riding and Seasonal Produce

For a different kind of activity, Centre Equestre Aventure et Vous in Cherisy offers horseback rides and trail rides. The activities are suitable for families, groups of friends, beginners and experienced riders; rides range from one hour to a full day. This time range gives you a specific guideline for planning. Since activities and availability may change, check the current options in advance.

Potager de Chérisy sells seasonal fruit and vegetables directly to customers. This includes, among other things, sales on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Chérisy church square. If you plan to visit at this time, check the latest sales information before your visit; market arrangements may change.
