Description of the walk

The start is at the town hall car park.

(S/E) Reach Rue de l'Église, turn left and follow it to the next crossroads. Turn left and continue for about 50 metres.

(1) Follow Rue de la Grenouillère to the left until it ends. Then continue straight ahead along a path that climbs and then levels out. Take the next path on the right, which climbs to the next crossroads.

(2) Continue straight ahead and, after about 20 metres, take the path on the left which joins a road. Follow it to the left for about 120 metres, then cross to the right and take the path opposite which climbs up to the next path.

(3) Turn left, ignore a path on the left and right shortly afterwards and continue to the road.

(4) Cross it with great caution, then first turn right then left to take another path. Follow the next one on the left, find a T-junction and turn left. You will come close to the road you crossed earlier.

(5) Turn right, then shortly afterwards first turn right then left, and continue to the four-way crossroads. Turn right for about 200 m until you come to another four-way crossroads. Turn left and you will come to another identical crossroads.

(6) Turn left, go straight ahead at the crossroads until you reach Rue de la Bigeonnerie. Turn left until you reach the next crossroads, turn left and then right about 60 metres further on. You will come out onto Rue des Viards.

(7) Cross it carefully, then turn onto Allée Saint-Gilles opposite. As soon as the road turns right, leave it and take the path opposite, which leads to Rue de la Croix aux Sourd.

(8) Cross it carefully and continue straight ahead until you reach Rue du Cimetière.

(9) Take this road on the left until you reach the corner of the cemetery. Turn left onto a grassy path, continue along it and then turn right and climb up until you reach Rue de l'Église. Cross it carefully to reach the car park (S/E).

A lovely spring walk with the rapeseed fields in bloom...! The start is magnificent, with views over the valley and Mont Tholon....the end...a bit more monotonous as you walk through the fields....
