Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite Château de Beauregard.

(S/E) Take the path leading to the Porte Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Enter the park and take the path on the left. Continue along this path and, via a gentle descent, reach the Pré Faure crossroads.

(1) Turn left onto a wide track and begin an equally gentle climb to reach the large, flat area at Ferme Froussard.

(2) Take the path on the left and you’ll come to a crossroads shaped like a capital Y. Turn right towards Coup de Sabre. After a slightly steeper descent, you’ll reach the junction with a forest track.

(3) Turn right uphill and continue until you reach Ferme Raymond.

(4) Take the wide path to the right, then leave it further on to the left to head into the woods and reach the Pré Faure junction, which you passed on the way there.

(1) Retrace your steps along the route you took on the way there to return to the car park opposite Beauregard Castle (S/E).
