Parking at the Faverois community hall.
The hike is marked with a blue ring.
(S/E) When leaving the car park, turn left, heading north, onto the D26 (Rue de Delle).
After 100 metres, turn right onto the D463 (Rue de Bale). At the stop sign, on the left, you will see an imposing building formerly known as "l'Auberge de l'Ange".
Follow the D463 for about 200 metres, passing the statue of the Virgin Mary on your left, the war memorial and the town hall/school building on the corner of the D463 and the D26.
(1) After the town hall/school, turn left towards Suarce. On your left is the Church of Saint-Urs. Opposite the church is the house of the Barons de Ferrette.
(2) After 200 metres, take Rue Basse on the left until you reach the junction with Rue de Boron.
(3) Take the hairpin bend to the left and go up Rue de Boron, which turns into a path at the edge of the village.
Pass the Étang des Rosières pond on your right, a little further on the left, the pumping station and on the right, the Étang Grosjean pond. At the entrance to the woods (elevation 401), leave a path on your right and continue straight ahead.
(4) At the crossroads, turn right. You are now in the communal forest, where you can recognise different species of trees (beech, oak, hornbeam, birch and alder). You will arrive at the hunters' chalet.
(5) Follow the markings carefully and pass a small path on the right, then another on the left. Follow the path known as the "horseshoe" to the Étang la Ville dyke and continue straight ahead.
(6) Follow the stony path on the left until you reach a crossroads. Leave the path and continue straight ahead. Cross the Ruisseau de la Madamelle stream. You will arrive at the corner of the dyke of a communal pond, the Étang au Prince. Reach the D26 at the corner of the Chemin du Coin du Bois.
(7) Turn right and follow it for about 50 metres, then turn left onto a path between two pastures (with cows depending on the season) which leads to the Florimont Forest. Continue straight ahead on this path, which becomes a trail and can only be accessed on foot. In the forest, cross the Étang Prévôt dyke and continue for 400 metres along the stony path bordered by two hedges. Keep an eye on the markings.
(8) Turn right onto a dirt track that runs alongside the Charmille Forest. After 100 metres, the track turns right and then left after another 100 metres to pass between the fields.
The path passes to the left of a private pond, runs alongside the forest and arrives at the D26.
(9) Turn left onto the road. On the right is the orchard of the "apple crunchers" who preserve old varieties.
Pass three small streets on your right and turn right onto Rue de Boron. Admire the calvary and return to the outward route.
(3) Follow Rue Basse to the left, then Rue de Suarce. Pass the church, then turn right onto the D463 and then left onto Rue de Delle to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
