At the eastern end of the village, there is a large car park in front of the schools where you can park as many cars as you like.
(S/E) Leave this car park by returning to the village and keeping to the right, you will pass between the pharmacy and the church via Rue de l'Échauguette. A little further up, turn left onto Rue du Lavoir. After 100 metres, turn right onto Rue de la Forêt. After another hundred metres or so, you will find a path on your left, bordered on the right by a fairly high dry stone wall.
(1) Follow this path until you reach a tarmac road (D562), where you turn right.
(2) After 150 metres, you will find a forest path on your left that branches off diagonally (opposite a house). Take this path and enjoy a long walk through a chestnut forest.
(3) When you see the roofs of a house, a small path will take you between two houses and you will come out onto the tarmac road. Turn left and you will immediately see the hamlet of La Goutarende. Follow this hamlet along the road on the right.
(4) This road is about 300 metres long. Continue straight ahead along a grassy path that is not clearly marked. Follow this path until you reach a fork, where you can turn right (this is the path marked on the IGN map). A tree bears the yellow "Promenades et randonnées" (Walks and Hikes) sign from the FFR. This 500-metre stretch is littered with slabs of shale that can be slippery in wet weather.
(5) This is why we have opened a path, still on the right, 30 metres further on (this is the route on Visorando which is not marked on the IGN map). This path is barely marked, especially in autumn under the leaves, and leads you back to the main path.
(6) After about a hundred metres, it will take you to a tarmac road. Go down this road on the right until you come to a larger road, where you will turn right again. After two large hairpin bends, you will come to a crossroads where you turn left. You will pass the Collège de La Bertrande, then the Moulin de Cals. Continue, leaving a steeply ascending road on your right. 150 metres from this road, a path branches off to the left, sloping backwards.
(7) Take this path and you will arrive at a wash house and a cemetery. Walk along the right-hand side of the cemetery via the Chemin des Puits. You will arrive at a road, which you should turn right onto. Cross the D118, continue straight ahead and turn left at the first fork. Take the second path on your left, which will take you back to the village on the D118. This route goes straight ahead, alternating between paths and tarmac. On the road, turn right, then take the first left and then the first right. At the end of this road, which runs alongside a river, the Dure, you will arrive at the car parks (S/E).
