The start is at the Bois de la Chênaie car park, at an elevation of 689 metres.
(S/E) Follow the path you took to reach the car park and head towards a crossroads near the first houses in the village.
(1) Take the path on the right and continue through the fields. Stay on the main path, ignoring a turn-off to the left, cross a small wood and arrive in a meadow. ThePR® trail runs along the edge of the wood and, at a bend, heads straight on to reach the entrance to the forest. Stay on this track which runs along the cliffs and reach a crossroads.
(2) Turn right here and head for the Lachaussée viewpoint.
(3) Enjoy the scenery and continue along the edge of the rocks. Follow the path as it curves to the left, then reach a junction with another path coming from the right, through the rocks.
(4) Head all the way to the left. You’ll reach a clearing and a white track. Turn right and walk on until you reach a junction of forest tracks.
(5) Turn right and continue straight on. At the end of the path, follow the track straight ahead and you’ll come to a small junction in the forest.
(6) Follow the sign for “Belvédère des Platières” on the left via thePR®. Follow a narrow, slightly steep path with loose stones underfoot until you reach a signpost indicating the Belvédère des Platières on the left. Continue to the viewpoint.
(7) Turn back and head downhill again, keeping to the left. Continue along this steep, slippery path until you reach a tarmac road.
(8) Take this road to the right and begin the climb towards Grange de Vaux, following the stream bed. Reach the hamlet, pass between the houses and turn left towards the statue of Saint Christopher. Enter the pasture, remembering to close the gate behind you. Cross the meadow, then the woods, and head uphill to reach a forest track.
(9) Head to the right and stay on this track until you reach a junction.
(10) Turn right and head back to your car park (S/E).
A decent hike to go on!
