(S/E) Take the main street south-eastwards to join the D53. Follow it for a few metres in the same direction until you reach a three-way junction (Vierge).
(1) Leave the D53 and follow the path opposite. At the junction (elevation 144), turn right onto the GR®121 (red and white markings) heading downhill. Walk past the chapel and the cemetery, then turn left to cross the Canche and join the D339. Follow it for 200 m to the right.
(2) At the junction, take Rue du Marais on the right. You’ll reach the River Canche (opposite a closed footbridge), which you follow to the left until you reach another footbridge. Cross the river and continue along its left bank.
(3) Cross the Canche again at the next footbridge (a lovely footbridge with metal railings) and join the D339. Take the path opposite, slightly to the left.
(4) At the left-hand bend, rejoin the GR® and follow it to the right (a lovely path with two gates for livestock. Don’t forget to close them behind you!).
(5) At the road, turn right onto the departmental road, ignore a street on the right and continue to a new T-junction. Turn left, then immediately right onto the path.
(6) At the end of the track (chapel), head onto the tarmac road to the right. Ignore a track on the left and, just before reaching the D339, take the grassy track to the left (still the GR®). Join the D339 and follow it to the left. Turn into the first street on the left (Rue de Mortagne) and continue to a junction (calvary).
(7) Turn right to rejoin the D339. Cross it and take the path opposite. Cross the Canche and follow the main path. Ignore the first grassy turn-off to the left (dead end) and continue to a three-way junction. Turn left onto the grassy path. After a few metres, you’ll reach a fork in the road (hard to spot!). See Practical Information.
(8) Turn right and follow the narrow, fairly difficult path (the signposted Fontaine Bleue trail). It eventually climbs up to reach the edge of the woods (gate on the right). Continue to the first junction (isolated house).
(9) Turn right here to climb up along the Bois de Mortagne ( steep at the start ), following the western and then northern edge.
(10) At the junction, turn sharply left (it is also possible to carry on straight ahead to reach Canettemont in 15 minutes). Follow the correct path at the foot of Mont Blanc and reach a T-junction just before arriving at the cemetery.
(11) Turn right at the eastern edge of the Bois de Gargantua. A fairly steep climb takes you to a small road. Follow it to the right.
(12) Take the first path on the right. 800 metres further on (Mont Blanc 130 m..., lovely view), turn left and follow the right-hand path to the road. Turn right to reach the church at Canettemont (S/E).
