Park in the car park at the church square and town hall.
(S/E) Head towards the town hall, cross Rue Favart and turn diagonally right onto Rue Marie-Thérèse. Immediately take the stairs on the left and, once at the top, first turn right then left to reach Rue des Bains de César.
Turn left, climb the stairs at the end of the street and enter the forest to quickly reach theGR®4Ecrossroads (white and red markings).
(1) Turn left onto thisGR® trail, cross the D996 at the pedestrian crossing and turn right. At the last houses, leave the road and take the path on the left, which leads to the Route des Cascades further on. Follow this street to the right to reach the crossroads at the campsite in the Prends-Toi-Garde neighbourhood.
(2) Continue straight ahead, then turn right at a 90° angle with theGR® at the cemetery. Ignore a path on the left and continue straight ahead to reach the Queureuilh waterfall.
(3) Change direction and head north to the left. You will reach the Rossignolet waterfall.
(4) Stay on theGR® until you reach the junction with the D983 road.
(5) Take it on the left and follow it to reach Lac de Guery.
(6) Turn left to walk along the lake and reach the intersection with the GR®30. Continue straight ahead, then further on, leave the GR® and turn left to reach a waterfall on the Ruisseau de Guéry.
(7) Continue through the woods along the left bank of the stream until you reach a fork (100 metres before the edge of the woods).
(8) Turn right, north-east, and join a cross-country track at a junction.
(10) Take it to the left, leave another track on the left and join another one in a curve. Continue along this curve to the left, then due west to reach the Puy May farm.
(10) Keep to the path opposite, which follows the track. Take a wide right-hand circular bend to reach a four-way crossroads at Col Saint-Laurent.
(11) Take the path opposite to reach the summit of Banne d'Ordanche.
(12) Return via the same route to Col Saint-Laurent.
(11) Turn 90° right onto the path to reach the hill called Le Tenon. Continue slightly downhill to the junction with theGR®30.
(13) Take this red and white markedGR® trail on the left and begin a short climb to reach the summit of Puy Gros.
(14) Begin another descent off the GR®. Pick it up again further on and follow it to the right. At the next junction (altitude 1371), leave theGR® on your left and turn right. Stay on the mountain pasture and then enter the forest. Continue along a few tight hairpin bends to find a junction of paths (altitude 1250 m).
(15) Be careful at this point: the trail is not shown on the IGN map but it is clearly marked on the OSM Trails map. *
Take this trail on the left and follow it to reach the hamlet of La Fougère.
(16) Turn left onto Route de la Fougère, then left again at the first street to reach the D 996. Turn right and follow it for a few dozen metres. At the first crossroads, keep left onto Chemin des Noisettes to return to the crossroads before the campsite, which you passed on the way there.
(2) Cross the Queureuilh neighbourhood, turning right. You will rejoin the D 996. To avoid part of the main road and its traffic, turn left onto the parallel path to easily find the car park near the town hall (S/E).
