Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the post office.
(S/E) With your back to the post office and facing the park, follow the tarmac path to the left.

(1) Turn right to enter the park, then immediately left and follow the mill stream on your left. Just before the end, turn right.

(2) Turn right and follow the footpath which crosses or runs alongside residential areas heading south-west. Ignore all side paths.

(3) At the end, go round the houses to follow the edge of the woodland and continue along the path running parallel to the roads.

(4) Turn left and, further on, left again to take a narrow passage between the houses.

(5) Turn right into Rue de Besançon, then left into the cul-de-sac (roundabout), then right into a narrow passage between the houses. Then follow a wide, uphill path heading north-west.

(6) Turn slightly right to go round the pond, then rejoin the path, which is bordered on the left by the Frocourt stream, and return to the starting point on the right (S/E).
