The route starts from Place du Château d’Eau. There is a large car park available.
(S/E) With your back to the water tower, head towards the left-hand corner of the car park, which leads onto Rue de Nantou. At the bend, turn left onto Chemin des Bordats, marked by a sign showing the fitness trail. Once past the last houses, the path is on grass. Head downhill, keeping the fitness trail on your right, until you reach a crossroads with four paths.
(1) Take the second path on the left, continuing downhill. At the crossroads, turn right. Pass a path on the right (not shown on the IGN map) and, at the Fork in the road, take the right-hand path to reach a road, having passed a turn-off to the right just before the descent onto the road.
(2) Take the right-hand turn, cross the entire length of Les Graillots and continue until you reach a crossroads. Turn left towards Talin-le-Bas for about 150 m.
(3) Head up the leafy path on the right. When you reach the road, continue straight on until you reach the entrance to Nantou.
(4) Cross over and turn right towards Pourrain. On the uphill stretch, leave the Chemin des Sources and, after the transformer, in the bend, go straight on along Rue du Tertre (a dead-end road) which ends in a track; continue along this for about 150 m.
(5) Turn sharply left. At the Fork in the road, take the fairly steep climb on the right to reach a plateau. Stay on the main path (the layout of the area is not exactly as shown on the IGN map).
(6) Opposite the relay mast, turn right onto a grassy path, keeping a power line in sight. Pass under the power line and reach a cross-path. Take this to the right, round a bend to reach a semi-buried water tower.
(7) Continue straight on, leaving the next path on your right. After a bend, you’ll reach a junction. Take the flat path on the right towards the woods.
(8) At the edge of the woods, head down to the left and, after about 200 m, enter the undergrowth. At the exit, head straight on to come out onto a road.
(9) Take it on the right and, at the bend, ignore the turn-off towards Nantou - Le Mousseau. Continue to the next bend.
(10) Take the path on the left, which climbs at the very start, then descends towards the valley (beautiful view at the highest point).
(11) At the wayside shrine (Croix Grillot), cross the road carefully and take the path opposite. At the crossroads, in front of a hedge, turn left. The village, with its church and water tower, comes into view.
When you reach the entrance to Chemin de Bellevue on the right, walk between the large stones and make your way between the houses. Cross the roundabout to take Rue des Hâtes Barrées. When you reach Rue de Nantou, turn right onto it to reach the car park (S/E).
