(S/E) Head north towards the Voie Verte for about 50 metres. Then take the path on the left. Cross the D502 with caution and immediately turn right onto theGR®6to the village of Sernhac, which you will reach at Rue du Grand Chemin.
(1) Continue straight ahead to reach Grand Rue, follow it to the left, continue along Rue de Ledenon, then turn right. Continue for about 100 metres, then turn left onto Chemin des Anciens Combattants et Déportés. Follow it for a little over 500 metres until you reach a fork.
(2) Turn right onto the PR® which descends straight ahead for 300 metres to a large oak tree.
(3) Take the left-hand track which descends to the entrance to the Tunnel des Cantarelles.
(4) Go through the tunnel to the exit and follow the blue markings to the entrance of the Tunnel de Perrotte.
(5) Enter the tunnel (mind your head – a torch is recommended), cross it and continue straight ahead until you reach a signpost at a crossroads.
(6) Turn left and climb up to the information board about the valley. Take the path on the left which crosses the olive groves to the drystone shelter, the quarry restored by the association, the Vallon d'Escaunes à Cantarelles and continue to the PR® signpost.
(7) Go down the few steps, then go straight ahead to pass in front of the restored drystone shelter called La Communale and continue on the main path until you reach the intersection with the PR®.
(8) Turn right and stay on the main path until you reach the collapsed drystone shelter of Iris, then continue straight on until you reach the large intersection with theGR®6.
(9) Turn left/right and continue straight ahead until the next intersection with a wide cross-country track.
(10) Turn left, then immediately right into the large left-hand bend. Follow the small path straight ahead to the tarmac road (RD205).
(11) Cross the small railway bridge almost opposite and follow the road that passes under the motorway and climbs up the other side, making a sharp left turn. At the end of the next bend, take the path on the right, heading south, and continue, ignoring the paths on the left, until you reach the PR® Bois de Clausonne signpost.
Then turn left onto the path that descends and, at the next crossroads, continue to the right until you reach the intersection with a large path that descends to the left. Take this path, then make a wide right turn before turning left at the hairpin bend to rejoin the GR®6. Carefully cross the D502 again to return to the swimming pool car park (S/E).
