Description of the walk

Start at the Place la Pérouse car park.

(S/E) Leave the car park and turn left once, then left again at the roundabout. After about 250 m, turn left onto a sandy track and cross two bridges over the Pérouse.

(1) At the end of this, ignore the road ahead and continue for about 50 metres to the left, then turn right. Follow the road, which turns into a track after a few metres, until you reach a bend.

(2) Turn right and follow the road to the hamlet of Hourdin, then take the path on the left, just before the Voie Verte. Follow it to a road where you’ll need to go about 50 metres to the right before crossing and continuing on the path opposite, which leads to the hamlet of Les Vauronniers.

(3) Take the first road on the right. Continue for about 600 m and take a path on the right. Follow it to a junction and turn right again to reach the Cherbotière crossroads.

(4) Go straight on. Cross the Voie Verte and continue straight ahead. Cross the Cantache and keep going straight on until you reach a farm track.

(5) Ignore the farm track and turn right. Pass in front of La Pelleterie, turn left and follow the road to a crossroads.

(6) Cross over and continue straight ahead, following the road. At the end of the road, turn right and walk down alongside a housing estate. At the end of the estate, turn left and then right about a hundred metres further on to reach the town hall.

(7) Turn right and walk past the church. At the end of the church, turn right to return to the starting point (S/E).

A route through the countryside in a hilly area with lovely views; not difficult, but quite muddy in wet weather. Allow about 1½ hours at a brisk pace.
