Around Saint-Sauveur-de-Landemont

Coming from Landemont, park within sight of Saint-Sauveur, on the right near the pond.

(S/E) Start on this bank to walk round the Étang de Rochefort. Return to Rue du Paradis and follow it to the right for about a hundred metres.

(1) Go down the steps on the left towards the Îlette valley and the cave. Make your way to the cave.

(2) Turn left along the stream and then head up to the right to reach a small village road and a wayside cross at a junction of three roads and a track. Head up to the right towards La Pelleterie.

(3) Before reaching the hamlet, turn right onto the path, which is easy going at first. Follow this path downwards; it becomes a difficult trail for about 100 metres before rejoining the Îlette stream. Head back up to the village as far as the entrance to the Château de la Colaissière.

(4) Head back down to the right through this pretty little village.

(5) Turn left and, at the corner of the church, turn left into Rue du Paradis.

(1) Carry straight on until you reach the starting point (S/E).

Near the car park, there are toilets, a shelter and picnic tables.

Watch out for the steps after point .

Between (3) and (4), the path is in poor condition in places.

At point (4), if the park is open, please follow the instructions.

The walk around the pond, the valley and the cave, the castle and the descent to the village are all well worth seeing.

At point , you can head to the Landemont village hall, which can serve as a starting point for routes of varying lengths.

At point (3), you can head towards the Pertuis Churin site, La Divatte and the Roman bridge before heading back up to finish at point (4).
