Start at the hamlet of Chambon, near Villedieu-sur-Indre, Place du Chaumiau, at the foot of the FFRP hiking signposts. The main trail markings are yellow.
(S/E) Take the small road to the south, cross the level crossing to reach the Moulin de Chambon.
Continue straight on over the bridge across the Indre, enter a wood and then follow the boundary wall of Chamousseau Castle, passing on the left a path leading to the Moulin de Gigault, then the small road leading to Le Puy.
(1) On the right, you can take the path for 200m there and back to admire Chamousseau Castle and its outbuildings. Continue south-west along the small road, pass the Chamousseau estate and turn right towards Saint-Bonnet.
(2) Cross the Grand Saint-Bonnet estate from the top heading west and take a path that crosses the Coteaux. Continue downhill to the next junction.
(3) Continue straight on at the two successive junctions, then head back up onto the D1 road.
(4) Take this road to the right, taking care as it can be quite busy.
(5) Turn onto the first road on the right which descends to the Indre river, then cross a wooded area.
(6) Reach a second bridge and turn right onto theGR®®46. It crosses a level crossing, first taking a small road to the right and then, 400m further on, a path heading south-east. Pass a path on the left and follow the old railway line.
(7) Continue straight on, ignoring the path leading uphill on the left.
(8) Ignore the small road climbing up to the left and theGR®®46ahead to cross the level crossing to the right: you can descend to the banks of the Indre via a small path for 50m, then return to take the stony track heading east. Follow this path to reach another level crossing, which you cross, then turn right to rejoin theGR®®46. This will take you back to the starting point (S/E).
