Departure from the Meulières car park.
(S/E) Head south-east and follow the path to the entrance of the Meulières site.
(1) Enter through the gate to the protected Meulières site and follow the signs.
(2) After crossing the unusual landscape of Les Meulières and enjoying the view halfway along the route, exit through the south-east gate and follow the path to the right.
(3) At the intersection, take the path on the left and cross the forest known as La Coudraie.
(4) At the edge of the forest, a wide path opens up. Turn right and continue down the road.
(5) At the second junction, leave the road and take the dirt track on your left, which will take you across the field at the bottom of the Claix valley. Continue to Claix.
(6) At the intersection in the heart of the village, turn left to take a short detour and admire the listed church of Saint-Christophe. Then retrace your steps and turn left onto the road that descends.
(7) At the bottom of the road, you can admire the Claix Fountain. Follow the road uphill to the left at the intersection.
(8) Leave the road (100 m after the fountain) and take the path leading into the woods.
(9) After crossing the long stretch of forest, carefully cross the RD7 and continue straight on towards the hamlet of Chez Debaud. You will enjoy the vineyards and gentle hillsides around you.
(10) In the centre of the village, take the first street on the right (Impasse de la Ferme). Cross the farmyard towards the forest and continue straight ahead, heading north into the forest.
(11) At the edge of the forest, near the hamlet of Beauregard, turn left onto the road and then right at the next intersection. Further on, at the entrance to the hamlet of La Boucharderie, the dolmen of the same name is located below the field (there is a rough path to get there).
(12) Leave the road and turn right onto the path at the edge of the forest, following the signs. When you leave the forest, cross the hamlet of Amas heading north, where the road gives way to a limestone path.
(13) Turn right at the intersection at the quarry. The path runs alongside it and continues across the fields in a long straight line.
(14) Carefully cross the RD7, continuing straight ahead on the road alongside the grain silos. At the intersection of the limestone path and the road, continue straight ahead towards Roullet.
(15) Shortly after entering the village, turn right onto the limestone path. At the next intersection, go straight ahead and pass through the wooden gate to enter the Chaumes de Vignac site. The aim is to climb up to the ridge (follow the route and markings as closely as possible as there are many unmarked paths). Cross the path at the top of the ridge and enjoy the magnificent view before rejoining the Route des Meulières. Turn right towards the hamlet of Les Baudries and, at the stone cross, turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
