(5) Cross carefully to admire the small restored chapel, then turn right and follow the D925 westwards for 100 m.

(6) Turn left onto the Route de Tilliaires.

(7) At the next junction, take the path across the field heading west. Then follow the small road to the right and continue straight on, crossing the D105 (elevation 163).

(8) At the Domaine des Rogeais (elevation 164), cross the small road and continue straight on along a path.

(9) Turn right and leave a path on your left.

(10) Turn right to return to the fork on the outward journey.

No water source. No particular difficulties.

Diors:
- Château de Diors (15th century): it was built on the site of a fortified castle and was almost completely destroyed by bombing in August 1944; the Museum of the Three Wars was housed in the part of the outbuildings that was saved. The museum closed its doors for good in 1990; a large part of the collections is now in Verdun.
