Park in the small car park in front of the church in Canettemont.
(S/E) Take the main road south-east to join the D53. Follow it for a few metres in the same direction to reach a three-way junction (Vierge).
(1) Leave the main road and follow the path opposite. At the crossroads (elevation 144), turn right onto the GR®121 (white and red markings) downhill. Pass the chapel and cemetery, then turn left to cross the Canche and join the D339. Follow it for 200 m on the right.
(2) At the crossroads, take Rue du Marais on the right. You will reach the Canche (opposite a closed footbridge), which you follow on the left to reach another footbridge. Cross the stream and continue along it on the left.
(3) Cross the Canche again at the next footbridge (a beautiful footbridge with metal railings) and join the D339. Take the path opposite, slightly to the left.
(4) In the left-hand bend, rejoin the GR® and follow it on the right (a beautiful 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 reach a new T-junction. Turn left, then immediately right onto the path.
(6) At the end of the path (chapel), turn right onto the tarmac road. Ignore a path on the left and, just before reaching the D339, take the grassy path on the left (still GR®). Join the D339 and follow it on the left. Turn into the first street on the left (Rue de Mortagne) and reach a crossroads (calvary).
(7) Turn right to rejoin the D339. Cross it to take the path opposite. Cross the Canche and follow the main path. Ignore the first grassy path on the left (dead end) and reach a three-way junction. Turn left onto the grassy path. After a few metres, there is another three-way junction (not very visible!). See Practical Information. Turn right (this path, which was impassable in July 2025, has been cleared: message from Suricate in January 2026) and follow the correct path (marked Fontaine Bleue path). It eventually climbs up to the edge of the woods (barrier on the right). Continue to the first crossroads (isolated house).
(8) Then turn right to climb up along the Bois de Mortagne ( steep slope at the start) on the western edge and then the northern edge.
(9) At the crossroads, take the hairpin bend to the left (it is also possible to continue straight ahead to reach Canettemont in 15 minutes). Follow the path at the foot of Mont Blanc and reach a three-way junction just before arriving at the cemetery.
(10) Turn right at the eastern edge of the Bois de Gargantua. A steep climb leads to a small road. Follow it to the right.
(11) Take the first path on the right. 800 metres further on (Mont Blanc 130 m..., beautiful viewpoint), turn left and follow the path to the road. Turn right to reach the church of Canettemont (S/E).
