Description of the walk

Parking is available alongside a children’s playground on Impasse des Dallettes, behind the church. You can also use the car park on the main road (D502) at the entrance to the village.

(S/E) This cul-de-sac continues as a narrow grassy path that descends steeply. It then climbs again to reach a dirt track suitable for vehicles.

(1) Turn left onto this track, pass a few farm buildings and join the Route du Bret, turning right. Continue to the end of this road, which turns into a dirt track again.

(2) Follow the main track as it climbs to a junction of tracks.

(3) Take the right-hand fork, the one where a tree bears a brown and white ‘Croix de Parc’ cross. Follow this track, which turns left to reach another junction.

(4) Take this wide, carriageable track which joins the tarmac road known as the Chemin du Pet Montagny. This road leads to the D502 , which you take to the right until you reach the Allée des Dames. Caution: the D502 is a busy road.

(5) Turn left and head downhill until you turn left onto Rue de la Haute Dhuire. Follow this street until you reach the junction with Chemin des Grandes Terres.

(6) Turn right and head down this tarmac road. Then turn left onto the grassy Malroche path, which becomes tarmac as it crosses the Chemin des Pierres Blanches. Carry on straight ahead through the houses in Trèves until you reach the D502.

(7) Turn right onto it, follow this main road down to the church and turn left to reach the car park (S/E).

An easy walk with little elevation gain, partly along good paths and through woodland (the first part of the walk), then along small country lanes across fields for the second part. Beautiful views of the northern Pilat and the Monts du Lyonnais.
