Park in the car park opposite the butcher’s and the health centre in the village of La Courtine.
(S/E) Head north to join the main road (D982), follow it to the left for a few metres, then turn left off it onto Rue de la Liège. You’ll come to a junction at a 90° bend.
(1) Continue left along this street, cross the River Liège via a bridge and, a few metres further on, you’ll come to a crossroads with a footpath.
(2) Turn right onto this path; this is the Route de Saint-Denis, indicated by a small sign by the roadside. Begin your walk through the spruce forest. After a while, the dirt track gives way to a tarmac path, though it remains sheltered by the trees. As you emerge from the forest, you’ll reach the Croix de la Mariette.
(3) Turn right onto a path, following the edge of the forest and a field. Follow this path until you reach another tarmac road
(4) Turn right onto it and you’ll soon reach the hamlet of Saint-Denis.
(5) Here, you’ll find a sign for the Route de Saint-Denis as you leave the hamlet. Take the road below the ruins of the Chapelle Saint-Denis.
Continue along the road, taking care of vehicles even though the road does not appear to be very busy. You’ll come to a bend with a cul-de-sac branching off slightly to the right; this is the Impasse de Bellevue. Take this road and continue. At the end of the road, take the path between the house and the railway line.
Please note: this path is at the top of an embankment, so if you are with children, keep a close eye on them to prevent them from falling; the path is approximately 1 m to 1.5 m wide and has a gradient of around 63°.
Head back to the crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Follow the route you took on the way there in the opposite direction to return to the car park opposite the butcher’s and the health centre (S/E).
