This hike is included in the "Pays touristique des Eaux-Vives" (Creuse) hiking trails.
Departure from Fursac Town Hall (Grand Rue).
Yellow markings (on three quarters of the route). Route suitable for mountain biking.
(S/E) Go downhill and turn right towards Laurière (D1). After crossing the Gartempe, go back uphill and take the path on the right opposite the cemetery.
(1) Immediately after the start of the path, take the marked path on the left, initially above the Gartempe, then on the riverbank.
(2) The path leaves the banks of the Gartempe and climbs to the left. At the top of the climb, turn right and follow this path. After about 500m, it continues to the left. Continue to follow it to the pretty hamlet of Les Meides.
(3) At the entrance to the hamlet of Les Meides, turn left onto the road that climbs up to the D1. Turn right to follow the D1 for 200 metres.
(4) At the first path, turn right off the road.
When the main path turns right, take another path slightly to the left. Follow this path southwards and continue straight ahead at the junction with another path until you reach the D42a road, which you follow to the left until you reach the small village of Paulhac. Cross the D1 and continue to the church and a small chapel.
(5) After the church, continue around the village, always descending to the left. Turn left onto the street that goes up around the church. At the top of the street, turn right to join the D1, which you follow northwards until the first street on the left. At the end of this street, turn right to leave the village.
(6) Follow this small road, which turns right to join the D1. Cross the D1 and take the road opposite (D24a, towards the orientation table).
Leave the road and turn left up the path that leads to the orientation table.
(7) A hundred metres or so after the orientation table, the yellow markings continue on the left (this is an alternative route back to Fursac via the old Roman road), but continue straight ahead to take the other alternative route through the hamlet of Châtenet (you will find traces of old yellow markings here). Follow the path down to the road, which you cross to enter Châtenet.
(8) In the hamlet, take a small road on the right that descends (nice view of Fursac) to the main road that enters Saint-Étienne-de-Fursac. Descend to the centre of the village to return to the starting point (S/E).
