Park in the car park at Place Jean Moulin.
(S/E) Head towards the tower following the signposted route, then stroll through the narrow streets before returning to the car park. Look for a sloping lane at the entrance and to the east of the car park; this is the Chemin de la Reboune.
(1) Turn right onto it and then continue along the path that follows it. You’ll reach the edge of the reservoir at the junction with a track.
(2) Follow it to the left after taking a look at the lake. Continue along the path running alongside a stone-built canal. Note: it is easier to walk down into the canal, if there is no water in it. You will reach the mouth of the Rivière Neuve.
(3) Follow the blue or orange markings, which will be a great help on the first part of the hike. Climb up the other side along an overhanging path. Head left and, further on, you’ll reach a fork at a place called Le Ragas.
(4) Turn right onto the orange-marked path to tackle the more challenging section. You’ll need to climb over rocks several times to make progress, but it’s nothing too difficult. You’ll reach a Y-shaped junction at Ravin du Cierge.
(5) Turn right here. Continue the climb, pass under the power lines and join aPR® trail.
(6) Turn left onto it, follow the yellow markings and reach another, not very obvious, crossroads.
(7) Leave thePR® and take this path on the right, then rejoin the PR®.
(8) Turn right and walk for 200 m.
(9) Turn left. Walk 1,200 metres along the PR®.
(10) Turn right towards the Tourris estate.
(11) 150 metres after the château, turn left onto a path bordered by wire fencing and walk past a ruin, then under the power lines to reach, after 1 km, a gate intended for livestock.
(12) Go through it, veer left, take care not to damage the crops, and look for another gate, 150 m to the right, which opens onto a path bordered by wire fencing. You will come to another gate.
(13) Head straight ahead, following the yellow markings towards Les Camps and La Tourravelle. After a hairpin bend, you’ll reach a crossroads with several directions.
(14) Take the path on the right and keep right again at the next junction. You’ll reach a concrete road, then continue left onto Route des Camps. You’ll arrive at the Usine des Eaux downstream of the Dardennes Dam. Here, look for a path climbing up to the right as you come out of the bend.
(15) Take this path and you will reach a clearly visible metal staircase. Continue uphill, pass under a small bridge and join the Chemin du Barrage. Follow this path and then climb the Chemin du Val Dardenne, rejoin the Route du Colombier and easily find your way back to Place Jean Moulin and the car park (S/E).
The signposting isn’t straightforward: it starts with a blue dash, followed by blue circles and some glossy teal ones!! The route map is well designed, and keeping the app open is a good idea to avoid making the same mistake two or three times. 02 2025
