(6) When you reach Coux, at the edge of a pine forest, take the path on the left that enters the forest. Take the long, straight road that climbs steadily. Do not take the paths that branch off at 90° to the right and left. Continue straight ahead. You will come to a path. Turn left at the hairpin bend.
After a slight incline, descend to Maison Dru.

(8) When you reach La Crôte, at the farm buildings, take the road on the right. The road gives way to a dirt track. Turn left at the next junction, then climb up to the junction with the tarmac road to Les Étangs de Marnay.
(9) Continue straight ahead, walking alongside a fenced property where the two Étangs de Marnay ponds are located. Continue down a short, steep descent. At the bottom, cross a small stream and turn right onto the wide path. Then walk between the two dilapidated farm buildings of the "Bois des Vignes".
(10) Walk along a hedge, then cross a meadow, veering slightly to the left. Descend through the wooded area, then continue along the path, which then becomes grassy, offering a beautiful view of Marmagne and the Mesvrin valley.
