From Deyvillers Town Hall, make your way towards Aydoilles. After crossing the St-Oger, you will find the Tuilerie car park on your right, near the social centre. At the bottom of the car park, climb a few steps and turn right on to the path that leads to an information board about the paths. You are now at the starting point for the Tuilerie Park circuits.
After the kiosk, turn left on to the trail signposted with a yellow circle which leads to a small tarmac road. Turn left and then immediately right and follow the small tarmac road that climbs slightly. Continue to follow the yellow circle signposting to a stone path which leads towards the forest. 800 m after entering the forest, you will see a lake on your right (1).
Continue along the path and turn right along a fence. Take the footbridge (2) over the St-Oger and make your way again to a small tarmac road.
Turn left and continue for 100 m, then turn right and follow the forest trail that climbs gently ignoring all the paths on the left.
When the slope becomes much steeper, turn right. The path crosses a clearing and, 600 m further on, arrives at a tarmac road. Turn left and follow the path signposted with a yellow circle, which enters the forest.
300 m further on, you will arrive at a crossroads. Continue straight ahead following the yellow circle signposting. The path which runs along the Eastern Feigne wetland (3) arrives at a crossroads of three paths. Take the path opposite and follow it for 60 m and then turn right on to an uphill path which leads to a stone forest path. Turn left and make your way to the tarmac road which you will follow for about 60 m and then turn left on to a trail which leads to a crossroads.
Take the tarmac road on the right opposite you and follow it for 150 m. Turn right on to a forest trail and follow the yellow circle signposting. After passing near a water tower (4), 30 m before crossing a gate, turn right on to the path that leads down to fitness and botanical trails (5) signposted with trees.
Continue down following the yellow circle signposting. At the edge of the forest, you will arrive at a small tarmac road that descends towards the town. At a road intersection, turn right and then left before a fountain. A paved path will lead you to a square and then a footbridge. Cross the Saint-Oger again to return to where you started out.
