(S/E) Park in the railbike car park.
Head along the track in the opposite direction to the rail bike departure point.
(1) Cross the bridge over the Route du Breuil. Continue and join this road on the left after about 50m (the path running alongside the railway track ends here).
Caution: Cross the road. Pass the Artiges quarry on your left. Continue along the tarmac road.
(2) Take the second path on the left.
The path turns right and goes downhill. At the bottom, turn right. (The railway line is below.)
(3) Cross the bridge and walk through the village of Le Breuil, taking Rue des Petits Clos.
Take the first path on the right, opposite Rue Bel Air. When you reach a fork, continue left and head down into the woods.
(4) After a sharp bend, continue down the path on the left to reach the underground quarries.
You can continue to the Yellow Cross on a tree to reach the banks of the Vienne.
(5) Return along the same path to the large bend on the climb.
(4) Take the path on the left that leads into the woods (at the bend), along the Vienne, towards Chauvigny. The Vienne is below you; you will gradually descend until you are at the same level.
As you emerge from the woods, walk along the field bordering the Vienne.
(6) With your back to the Vienne, turn right to follow the tree-lined avenue.
Take Rue d’Artiges on the left before the railway bridge to return to Chauvigny. Walk past the cemetery.
Turn right into Rue des Chaumes. At the top of this hill, turn right then left. Cross the railway line to reach your starting point, the railbike car park (S/E).
