Park in the car park near 11 Rue Davier, in Joigny.
(S/E) On leaving the Centre Sophie Barat, take Rue du Vicomte opposite, which leads up to the town hall; go round it via Rue du Bourg le Vicomte. At the stop sign, turn left into Rue de la Tour Carrée as far as the cemetery, then turn right in front of the cemetery onto Boulevard Lesire Lacam. After number 49, turn left and head up Rue Christian Fourré. After 200 metres, turn right into Rue du Luxembourg.
(1) Opposite the entrance to the Abescat neighbourhood, turn left and head up the path, then after 100 metres turn right onto Chemin des Ferreux, which continues and climbs. Continue along Chemin du Calvaire and stay on the path that follows it. Enter the woods and reach a three-way junction.
(2) At this junction, turn right. Immediately after Bois Prieur, turn left twice, following the edge of the woodland, and head back down to the path leading to the village of Looze. When you reach the top of Looze cemetery, take the path on the left which leads back up into the woodland. Join the Allée de Villefranche.
(3) Turn left onto this lane – this is the route between Joigny and Looze – and continue straight on.
(4) At the three-way junction, take the path on the right (La Charbonnière). Once at the bottom, turn left along a wire fence, then after 150 metres, turn right and head uphill to reach the hamlet of Mont Chauvot.
(5) Head up the very steep slope to the left through the vineyards. Continue straight ahead along the path between the field and the edge of the woodland. At the end of the field, take the path at right angles to the left which leads down towards Joigny.
(6) Leave the path and walk down alongside the vineyard for about 300 metres, then take the path on the right and continue downhill to the wooden gate (Joigny’s medieval gate). Go round it on the right. After the museum building, turn immediately left onto the small street leading down to the town hall and the Sophie Barat Centre to reach the starting car park (S/E).
