Start from the small car park at the corner of the D7 and the Mohron stream.
(S/E) From the car park, turn left onto the road towards the Meuse.
(1) Then turn left onto the greenway, which runs alongside the Meuse, and continue to the road bridge crossing the river.
(2) Turn left to enter the town. Cross the town by going up Rue du Rivage, then Rue de La Cense. Then turn right onto Chemin de l'Espérance until you reach the last crossroads at the town exit. Along the way, you will see the war memorial, an old wash house and the former site of the Ardoisière de l'Espérance slate quarry (closed to the public).
(3) Turn left onto Chemin Les Zivages, which continues onto Rue des Bouvreuils. At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue des Grives, then right again onto Rue Madame de Cormont to reach the Platale viewpoint and enjoy the panoramic view of the town of Fumay. Retrace your steps and continue to the right.
(4) At Chêne Saint-Antoine, leave the road by turning right onto the forest path. Ignore all the paths on the left, pass the hang-gliding launch area and then a pylon. The paths quickly become very narrow and sometimes very rutted, wet and difficult to find. Again, ignore the numerous paths branching off to the left and right and arrive at the Place Prévost crossroads.
(5) Turn right, take the left at the next fork and pass in front of the Chêne de la Nation. Continue until you reach a tarmac road.
(6) Follow the tarmac road to the left to reach the three high-voltage power lines.
(7) Turn left and follow the second high-voltage power line. Please note that there is no path underneath it.
(8) Cross the tarmac road and continue walking under the high-voltage power line until you reach a farm track. The passage under the high-voltage power line is very wild (ferns, broom) and very damp.
(9) At the old barrier, turn left and take the forest path, which quickly becomes narrow. Continue straight ahead, first west-northwest, then northwest. Ignore the numerous paths on the right and left. The route curves to the left, then turns sharply to the right and joins Camp des Hesses.
(10) After a short break and a look at an old slate quarry entrance, return to the starting point (S/E) by turning right, following the Mohron stream and continuing straight ahead at the intersection near the Ermitage du Moulin Labotte. Please note that the path to the river is downhill and has large stones (see alternative route in practical information).
