(6) At the crossroads, continue along Chemin du Bati Gai (No. 22) to the left (leaving the GR®) and follow it to Rue de l’Abbaye.
(7) Take Rue de l'Abbaye to the right and, after about 50 metres, turn right onto the small path that runs alongside the street for just over 100 metres. Then head right to reach the crossroads known as "L’Étoile".
