Park in the small car park at the entrance to Saint-Sixte,1st road on the right after the sign.
(S/E) Walk up to the church and reach the point called Saint-Sixte.
(1) Continue left towards Merlas. Follow the road, leaving the lake on your right. Take thefirst road on the right and continue until you reach the end of the large bend on the left at the point called Larrat.
(2) Take the path on the right that gradually climbs into the woods: it is full of ruts, so take care in wet weather. Reach the next intersection called Baracuchet.
(3) Continue straight ahead for about 50 metres, then keep left, ignoring the sign for Étang des Chartreux. The path quickly rejoins the road you left earlier at an abandoned cottage. Follow it to the right and then take the path on the right to reach Étang des Chartreux.
(4) Walk along the left-hand side of the pond until you reach a fork in the path shaped like an inverted Y.
(5) Take the path on the right, which is a continuation of the road. It climbs into the woods and may be frozen in winter. You will reach a multiple junction a few hundred metres further on.
(6) Continue straight ahead. Ignore a path on the left further on and rejoin the outward route. Turn left.
(3) Turn left and then, 100 metres further on, follow the small path on the right that descends into the woods and makes a large circular loop to the right. Continue along this path until you reach the road you took on the way there.
(2). Turn left and follow this road in the opposite direction to return to the church.
(1) Then take the small path on the left that runs along the lake shore on your left. Pass the lake and continue along the path that descends. At the three-way junction, take the left path and join the Route de Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin (RD49C). Follow it to the left with the utmost caution for about a hundred metres.
(7) Cross the road and take the hairpin bend on the right. Follow the main path straight ahead, keeping in the same direction and ignoring all paths leading off to the right or left. You will come to a three-way junction in the road.
(8) Keep to the right and continue until you reach another perpendicular path.
(9) Take it on the right: here you will find the yellow markings again. Follow the main path (yellow markings) which climbs more or less steeply towards the village of Saint-Sixte.
(10) Turn right to reach the village, cross the RD49 C carefully and return to the car park (S/E).
