(S/E) Walk along the wall heading north. At the crossroads, take the path on the right (discovery trail) which runs alongside the stream.
At the Pelouze Monument, take the path on the left that goes uphill, then the path on the right, turn left until you reachthe GR®1c(at the top of the hill). Turn right onto theGR® and take the path on the right that goes back down towards the stream.
Alternative: at the Pelouze Monument, you can go straight ahead and rejoin the route about 150m further on.
Follow the stream, and just before the site of a former footbridge, climb up to descend towards the Moulin des Roches (difficult, unmarked path).
(1) Follow the road, then the path to the car park. Go to the end of the car park and continue along a path. After the barrier, turn right to go uphill. After a bend, turn left onto the PNR, which descends and joins a larger path.
(2) Turn right (leaving the PNR) and follow this beautiful trail. Cross the D149 and continue to a crossroads (PNR).
(3) Turn left onto the PNR, which descends. At the end of the path, take the street on the right (PNR), then a street on the left. At the D149, turn right (PNR) to the castle.
(4) Take the street opposite and follow the PNR, which crosses the D91 and climbs back up towards the forest. At the end of the tarmac road, go around a house on the left and you will come to a crossroads (GR®1c).
(5) Turn left onto theGR®1c. After the old quarry, when theGR® turns at a right angle to the left, take the path on the right which joins the cycle path.
(6) Take the cycle path on the left to the car park. Continue opposite the Route des Franchisés, then turn right onto the path (discovery trail) and follow it until it joins theGR®1c.
(7) At the crossroads, turn right and follow theGR®1c.
(8) At the end of the second straight stretch, continue straight ahead and rejoin the cycle path, which you will follow for several hundred metres.
(9) Leave the cycle path and take the path straight ahead, which rejoins theGR®1C.
(10) Take the second path on the left and stay on theGR®1c.
(11) Cross the path, take the path opposite which goes uphill and leave theGR®1cwhich goes downhill on your left. Join the cycle path.
(12) After the cycle path turns right, take a path on the left (no signposting) and ignore the paths on the left that go downhill. Walk along a field, then enter the woods and continue, ignoring the paths on the left. The path then begins to descend between two fences.
(13) Descend towards Les Côtes. At the bottom, turn left onto theGR®1cand follow it along the bottom of the slope and the stream.
(14) When theGR®1cclimbs again, leave it and continue straight ahead, following the stream. When the path joins a track, turn right, cross the stream and continue straight ahead to the D24.
(15) Cross the D24 and continue straight ahead. The path climbs and curves to the left until it joins the PNR. Take the PNR on the left, pass a path on the left and reach the bottom of the descent.
(16) Turn right. The trail climbs again. At the crossroads, take the PNR on the left, continue straight ahead and reach the hamlet of La Tuilerie, which you go around on the left.
(17) Continue on the PNR, turning left. Ignore the path on the right that descends, pass in front of a small pond and reach a crossroads. Take the marked path on the left, which will take you back to the car park where you started (S/E).
