Description of the walk

Park in the car park on the D224 about 100 metres after the exit from the D932.
There is a sign describing the loop.

(S/E) Facing the road, leave the car park on the right and follow the path for about 150 m.

(1) Turn right onto the path in the pine forest, which follows the Vézelay pilgrimage route. Many pine trees have recently been cut down.

(2) Continue on the left and approach the motorway. Follow it below for about 100 metres.

(3) Turn right to pass under the motorway. Once on the other side, turn right, then left about 50 metres further on, and follow the path that winds through the pine forest.

(4) Turn right to follow the Ribarrouy stream.

(5) Pass under the motorway again and continue along the path beside the stream, which becomes winding and uneven.

(6) At the crossroads, continue straight ahead and head for the picnic area and car park (S/E).
