The route starts from the car park at the village hall.
(S/E) Head down Rue des Richets, then immediately take the D105 towards Besançon. Drive through the village and past the sawmill, then turn right towards the recycling centre.
(1) At the recycling centre, turn left onto the dirt track that leads into the woods and always keep left at the various junctions.
(2) When you reach the safety barriers at the entrance to the village, follow the D105 downhill.
(3) At the junction, take the cycle route on your right and ride carefully down between the rock faces to reach the canal roundabout and the entrance to the Canal Monsieur tunnel. Carry on and cross the canal to follow the left bank of the Doubs.
(4) At the end of the field and at the corner of an orchard, take the lovely path on the right towards the forest. Cross the Caillet Mill stream at a place known as ‘Pierre de Vorges’ via the new wooden bridge, as the stone bridge that used to span the stream has been destroyed.
(5) Walk up alongside the pasture and turn right at the three-way junction at the edge of the woods. Climb this short but steep slope to the top.
(6) At the crossroads, turn left onto Rue de Gevrey and enjoy the panoramic view over the Doubs valley. Continue through the woods until you reach a large crossroads.
(7) You are now at the four-way junction. Head straight on along the gently ascending path. As the descent begins, in a right-hand bend, a track emerges on the left, leading towards a clearly visible mound. Climb up to it.
(8) At the Bois de Gevrey viewpoint, you’ll have a view of the ruins of the feudal castle of Montferrand, as well as the Doubs valley, which is very narrow at this point.
With a bit of luck, you may have spotted some chamois or their resting places at the foot of the rocks, marked by trails of droppings. You may also catch a glimpse of these agile creatures at least as far as the meadows, which you’ll reach via the path you’ve been following. As you leave the woods, walk alongside the bushes, cross the stream and head uphill past the shed.
(9) You’ll arrive at the edge of the hamlet of Moulinot. Turn right and head up towards Busy. When you reach the farm, turn right and walk through the village, using the left-hand pavement on Rue Principale
(10) At a wide bend to the right, carry on straight ahead along the Roman road and walk up past the houses. Continue in this way through woods and meadows. Ignore the side paths and walk past the farmhouse inn and the guesthouse.
(11) At the next junction, keep left above the Courbey farm and walk straight through the woodland. You’ll emerge into meadows; turn right past the Vorges monument. Do not go past the bend to the left.
(12) Leave the Roman road at the entrance to the pasture and, at the corner by the bush, head up to the left, looking out for a gap in the foliage.
(13) You’ll soon reach the ridge, a well-marked path, which you’ll follow by turning right. You’re now at the highest point in the commune of Boussières. Follow this gently sloping path all the way along.
(14) When you reach the tarmac road, leave the woods on the right and join the D104. Then head towards Boussières on the left and walk through the village.
(15) At the Stop sign in front of the bakery, head uphill to the right, then immediately left into Rue des Richets. Walk uphill between some of the village’s oldest houses and return to your car park (S/E) .
