Summary edit

Description
English: Saint-Maurice-sur-Aveyron, Loiret, Centre, France.

Old road to Melleroy, near the Irlets hamlet. Here looking west towards Saint-Maurice. It stopped being used at the turn of the 20th century, when a straight path was created for the planned railway from St-Maurice to Melleroy. The railway was in the end never built, and people started using this very straight path, which also avoided the dampest and oft flooded patches of land, instead of the old road.

Some 300m ahead, on the left of the path, between it and the étang des Irlets, are the remnants of a roman camp.
Français : Saint-Maurice-sur-Aveyron, Loiret, région Centre, France.

Ancienne route de Melleroy, aux Irlets. Ici vers l'ouest, direction Saint-Maurice. Elle a cessé d'être utilisée vers le début du XXe siècle, quand a été créé le chemin pour le train de St-Maurice à Melleroy. Les rails n'ayant jamais été posés, les gens commencèrent à utiliser leur tracé (un chemin très droit et évitant les coins très humides) au lieu de l'ancienne route (qui, elle, passe dans des coins très humides et souvent inondés).

Dans ce même bois, à environ 300m, le chemin longe les vestiges d'un camp romain (sur la gauche, entre ce chemin et l'étang des Irlets).
