Head to Bizonnes, a small village south of La Tour du Pin (Isère).
Park in the small car park at the foot of the church, north of the village.
(S/E) Leave the car park at Bizonnes church and head towards the church. Pass it on your left (Chemin de Douilletière).
Follow the road, ignoring the paths that come in from the left. When you reach a fork, follow the sign for "La Planta - 548m" and turn left. You will very quickly come to a "Stop" sign (there is a beautiful Dauphiné-style house opposite, on the left).
Continue straight ahead. At a fork, turn left again. You will cross a road (calvary) and continue straight ahead (signposted "Route de Bizonnes").
(1) You will soon reach some houses, where you take the path on the left to reach the Épinette crossroads. (During haymaking season, it is best to continue on the paved road, which will also take you to this crossroads).
(2) Your path leads to the small road you left earlier. Take it on the left, then leave it very quickly (after about 50 metres) and take a path, also on the left. It goes around a house and down to the first pond in Bizonnes. Your path then goes uphill.
(3) You will arrive at the church of Saint-Didier-de-Bizonnes. Cross the road and turn left. On this side, there is a footpath. Follow it until it rejoins the road and continue along the road. Pass two dead-end roads on your left.
(4) Take the road on the left that descends towards the ponds. Cross the D51 and take the road opposite that crosses a pond. Go past it. The road branches off to the right.
(5) You will arrive at the sign for "Mont Levet - alt. 530m". Take the path on the right and follow it alongside three ponds.
When you reach the middle of the third pond (Étang des Ragées), you will see a private road on your right. Ignore it and turn left.
(6) You will arrive at the sign for "Les étangs - alt. 530m". Head towards Eydoche on the left, then very quickly turn left again onto a fairly hidden path that climbs into the forest (ignore the signs telling you not to go there). Enjoy it, as this is the only real hill on the walk!
(7) When you reach the flat section at the top of the hill, you will come to a barely visible path. Continue straight ahead until you reach a fork. Leave the path and take the path on the left, which is quite overgrown at first.
When you reach a crossroads, take the path opposite, which will take you out of the woods almost immediately. Follow it, ignoring the paths that come from the right or left
(8) You will come to a small asphalt road, which you take on the right. Follow it, ignoring any paths coming from the right or left. You will enter Bizonnes. Cross the village, passing the town hall and the war memorial, to return to the church (S/E).
