Park in the Manufacture Royale car park.
(S/E) With your back to the estate, follow the road to the small wooden bridge over the Coney.
(1) Cross the bridge and continue between the River Coney and the Canal de l’Est.
(2) Walk past Lock 32 and carry on straight ahead. Continue to the left, cross the Coney again to join the D434.
(3) Carefully turn right to cross the bridge over the Bagnerot, continue for about fifty metres, then leave the road and turn left onto a track overlooking the small tributary. Carry on until you reach a junction directly above the Moulin du Bois, which lies below.
(4) Turn right onto the forest track: there is a barrier, but access is permitted. Follow it as it winds through the woods until you reach another junction at Les Fouillies.
(5) Turn left to follow the forest track which crosses Les Fouillies towards the north-east. You’ll come out at the junction with another forest track running across.
(6) Continue straight ahead along the straight track which, further on, runs alongside the edge of the woods, before reaching a fork: a lovely view of Bains-les-Bains.
(7) Head down to the left along the path across the fields, towards La Petite Ferme.
(8) A few dozen metres before reaching the tarmac road again, take a sharp left-hand bend and continue first across the fields, then along the edge of the woods, making a wide left-hand curve. Then turn right at a 90° angle to enter the woods: a fallen tree requires a short detour. You’ll emerge onto a forest track.
(9) Head down to the right and return to the junction at the Moulin du Bois.
(4) Go straight on and follow the outbound route in the opposite direction to return to the Manufacture car park (S/E).
