(S/E) When leaving the car park, take the road on the right and continue to the Espérance crossroads. Turn left and continue along the tarmac road to La Quintalle farm.
(1) At the corner of this bend, take the dirt track on the right and follow it to the forest.
(2) Turn left at the edge of the forest onto the path that runs alongside it. About 200 metres further on, there is a movable fence on the right. Open it, go through and close it behind you. Continue straight ahead on the path until you reach the D48 road.
(3) Turn right and follow the road until you reach the first path on the left in the forest (towards Le Chaslet). Follow the path, walk past the house (Chaslet) and continue on. At the first intersection in the forest, turn right, continue through the forest and walk up to La Brosserie.
(4) Cross the road and continue straight ahead on the tarmac road for about 200 metres (along a fenced-in meadow).
Turn left at the end of the meadow and take the path. Continue to the crossroads, turn right and continue along this path through fields and meadows. At the forest, the path turns into a vaguely tarmac road. Join the access road to the pond.

(6) Return to the previous crossroads.
(5) Turn opposite, passing the hamlets of Mortier and Bois Guillot. Reach the bridge over the Ruisseau de Breuil.
(7) Take the road on the left which joins the Mazières road further on. Cross this road and continue on the left until you reach the intersection with a path leading to Le Brueil.
(8) Follow this path, climb slightly and at the fork turn right towards the Breuil valley. Descend the path along the Breuil in the forest. Walk alongside Château Rousselet to reach the Bousserie crossroads.
(9) Climb back up to the plateau via the path starting on the left, which is quite steep but not very long. You will reach the hamlet of Parcoire.
