(S/E) From the car park, next to the Town Hall, head up the promenade running alongside Boulevard Marceau. Cross Rue Carnot and continue along the promenade opposite. At the secondary school, turn left onto Rue de la Cornillate, then left again onto Rue de la Grosse Pierre. Turn right onto Rue de Dixmont (D15). Go under the bridge on the RD606 and continue straight on for about a hundred metres.
(1) Turn left onto Chemin de Cochepie (marked as a dead end) and continue along this road for several hundred metres until you reach a property opposite. Do not cross the stream; instead, take the grassy path running alongside the property on the right (blue markings). Cross the small bridge over the Ru Saint-Ange and follow the path to its end. Continue straight on along Chemin des Cannes and turn left onto the first path you come to.
(2) Take the path on the right which climbs through the fields and passes under the high-voltage power line. Continue along the same path, ignoring all paths to the right and left. The route enters a wooded area and then turns right.
(3) Once you reach an open area, head down the first path on the left. At the bottom of the descent, follow the path that bends to the left. Pass the junction with the first tarmac road. Turn left.
(4) At the second junction, turn left onto the path that climbs steeply through the woods, then veer right onto the first path you come to. Continue along this path, ignoring all the paths to the right and left. You will reach a spur overlooking the valley and the lakes, offering a beautiful panoramic view.
(5) Head left up the widest path, which leads back into the woods. Continue straight ahead through the woods until you come out onto another path running perpendicular to this one.
(6) Take this path to the right, following the track which then bends to the left. Follow it, ignoring all paths to the right and left, until you reach the edge of the woods. Then turn right onto a path which descends through the fields to the Ru Saint-Ange.
(7) Turn left to follow the stream for a few hundred metres, then left again. A few metres further on, turn right to rejoin the original route in the opposite direction.
(2) At the junction with the path leading up towards the high-voltage power line, go straight on. Follow the Chemin des Cannes on the right, rejoin the grassy path along the Ru Saint-Ange, then the Chemin de Cochepie, as on the outward journey (yellow markings). At the end of the path, turn right onto the Route de Dixmont then continue straight on. Go under the bridge. Take Rue de la Grosse Pierre, then Rue de la Cornillate. Pass close to the school. Follow the promenade back to the starting point (S/E).
Could you please highlight, in some way, on the route map, the information stating that access to private woodland is prohibited during the hunting season? This is a very important point that might be overlooked during a quick read, as one might be – overly – confident in the route provided.
