Parking is available at the Chemin des Écoles car park.
(S/E) Take Grande Rue on the left, then immediately turn left onto Chemin de la Roche, which passes over the Voie Douce de la Payre (le Pouzin-Privas). Continue straight ahead until you reach Chemin de Lauzas.
(1) Continue straight ahead, leaving the street on your left, which you will take on the way back. Further on, leave Chemin de la Chaussière on your left.
(2) A few dozen metres further on, turn right onto the marked path leading up to Combier. It passes at the foot of the access road to the last house in the housing estate. The real walk then begins as you leave the houses of Alissas behind on an uphill path made of limestone. This path is very quickly covered with black volcanic basalt, dotted with volcanic bombs of varying sizes.
(3) Turn left, leaving Combier behind. Many chestnut trees appear to be well maintained. They provide the main ingredient for chestnut cream. Join a tarmac road.
(4) Take it on the left until the fourth sharp bend.
(5) Take the path straight ahead through the chestnut trees and arrive at the ford of the Ruisseau du Gournier. Immediately after, take the path on the right which leads to a beautiful waterfall with very clear water, which is worth a short detour and a stop.
(6) Retrace your steps to continue the circuit.
(7) Shortly before reaching the fork, enjoy the beautiful view of the Trois Becs, the Vercors and the Dévoluy. You can enjoy a pleasant picnic on the terraces below the path on the left. Continue straight ahead and join the Chemin des Traverses, continuing in the same direction. Reach the viewpoint over the Château de Rochessauve after walking along the pastures in a mountain of terraced fields.
(8) Turn around and take the same route back.
(7) Keep to the right and follow the path downhill.
(9) Cross the Grangette property, opening and closing the gates as indicated. Join a tarmac road lined with volcanic stones and descend towards Alissas.
(10) Take the indicated path on the left, cross the magnificent moss-covered bridge: the Gournier has become the Chaumette Stream. Join the Route de la Chaumette and follow it to the right.
(2) Continue straight ahead.
(1) Turn right onto Chemin de Lauzas, quickly turn left and cross the footbridge over the Voie Douce. At the right-angle bend, go straight ahead onto the path that joins Rue de la Paved Slanting Street. Take the stairs leading to Grande Rue and follow it to the left, towards the town centre, to return to the car park (S/E).
