Montigny brings together architectural history and an easy circular walk through its village, rural and woodland heritage. There are two main highlights to consider when planning your stay: the history of the Château de Montigny and the Église Saint-Ouen, and the La Piste du Loup route. The church is the starting and finishing point of the walk; the Pierre Mégalithique is also a named stop along the way.

Château and church: building history in several phases

Construction of the Château de Montigny began in the 16th century; the château as a whole dates from the 17th century. It was redesigned in the 18th century and again in the early 19th century. This sequence distinguishes the start of construction from the later overall building and subsequent alterations. Those wishing to place the historic architecture in context will find a development spanning several centuries.

The Église Saint-Ouen was originally a chapel dependent on the château. Its nave was built in the early 16th century, while the choir was not completed until the 18th century. Its features include a surviving stained-glass window depicting Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and remarkable woodwork, including an 18th-century altarpiece. The church’s construction in separate phases and these specific features offer different clues to understanding the Église Saint-Ouen.

Another cultural landmark lies in the Forêt de Roumare: the Pierre Mégalithique is a Gallo-Roman sandstone monument accessible via Rue de la Forêt. It is named as a stop on La Piste du Loup. This brings the architectural history of the château and church together with a single landmark in the forest. If you choose the route, the experience described therefore includes both village and architectural heritage and a named megalithic stop.

La Piste du Loup: circular walk and stops

La Piste du Loup is an easy 8.2-kilometre circular walk, with a stated duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes. It starts and ends at the Église Saint-Ouen in Montigny. The church car park is listed as a parking option for the route. The distance, time and difficulty level provide practical guidance if you want to plan the walk as a separate part of your day.

The route follows marked roads and forest trails through Montigny’s village, rural and woodland heritage. As well as the Pierre Mégalithique, it passes the Maison rouge, a traditional brick farmhouse. The two stops are quite different: one is a Gallo-Roman sandstone monument in the forest, the other a traditional farmhouse along the route. This means you can assess the walk not only by its length but also by the cultural landmarks it connects.

A dated culinary highlight

The fourth edition of the Rando Gourmande 2026 took place on 7 June. It combined a ten-kilometre walk through the Forêt de Roumare with five gourmet breaks designed and prepared by chefs. The starting point was the Relais de Montigny. This edition adds a specific culinary element to the hiking and heritage themes; the details refer to the event in June 2026.
