Start at Place du Foirail.
(S/E) Opposite the war memorial, turn right and take the footbridge over the Béal to reach the Chemin de la Sablière (locally known as the ‘chemin des jardins’), then the Route de Saint-Chély, which you’ll follow on the left.
(1) Cross the bridge over the Truyère, then take the Sentier des Espagnols on the right (GR®4), which is a fairly steep climb. Cross the road carefully and continue along the path furthest to the right, which leads up through the woods parallel to the D4.
(2) At the crossroads, follow the horse-riding signs to the left, then turn left again onto the road. Cross the D989 carefully and take the wide path opposite, near the orientation table.
(3) When you reach a wide junction, turn right twice. The path continues south-west through the pastures before entering the forest.
(4) Continue along the wide track on the left. At the junction marked by orienteering marker no. 73, turn right. The path through the woodland (yellowPR® signposting) leads safely back to the road.
(5) Cross the road using the wooden footbridge. Head towards the granite cross at Bébulon and continue straight ahead along a new track, keeping to the right at the next junction.
(6) At the Chaumazelle junction, turn left. 20 m before the road, turn left again. Follow the narrow path lined with old low walls, which runs below the village and skirts the medieval site to the left.
(7) At the orienteering marker, continue to the right then to the left. A wider track on your right will take you to the road at elevation 1034.
(8) Cross carefully and take the path opposite, which leads to the hamlet of Aubuisson. Pass between the two houses and continue along the grassy path furthest to the left.
(9) Opposite the shed, turn left into the woods. Stay on the main track, ignoring the small paths on either side, then continue straight on along a wide track that climbs up to the entrance to the village of Prunières.
(10) Turn right towards the village. Walk through the village, keeping the Second World War memorial on your right, then the fountain and the Saint-Caprais lodge on your left. Once past the last house, continue along a wide track. Ignore the two successive paths on the right and, further on, take the path leading downhill to the left at elevation 981. Cross the Pisseratte stream.
(11) At the orienteering marker, a few metres before the road, turn right towards Molières. Walk past the hamlet on your left.
(12) Just before the quarry, take the path on the right that leads into the forest. At the next junction, turn left and carry on straight ahead, ignoring the paths on either side. Pass under the treetop adventure course and reach the road.
(13) Turn right onto the road. Walk past the holiday village on your left and carry on towards La Chazette.
(14) At the bend, turn left at the hornbeam hedge onto a small path leading to the municipal campsite, then follow the road past the football pitch and tennis courts to the fairground (S/E).
