(S/E) Leave the car park at Saint-Hilaire Town Hall, situated along the D73, heading westwards along this road, i.e. towards La Côte-Saint-André. You’ll pass a pizzeria, a discount store and the Chemin de la Beauté (don’t worry, you’ll take that on the way back...).
(1) As you leave the village, turn left onto Chemin du Marronnier, a quiet, tarmac-surfaced road. You’re heading south, towards the plain, with the Chambarans hills ahead of you. Keep heading in this direction until you reach the airport.
(2) When your small road turns left, take the dirt track that leads straight ahead. Ignore the paths leading off to the right or left
(3) There is a tiny copse on your right. At the edge of it, you come out onto a dirt track. Take it to the left. At a junction, carry straight on and you will reach a fence with a gate. This is the airport.
(4) Turn left. Follow the fence until you reach a small, isolated building on the right with a mural on the gable end extolling the virtues of skydiving.
(5) Take the dirt track on your left. Almost immediately, ignore the path on the right and continue straight ahead along a grassy track. You’ll see a hillock in front of you, with an eggshell-coloured plastered house standing out against it.
You’ll pass to the left of it. You’ll come out onto another dirt track, which you take to the left. Very soon, you’ll do the opposite and turn right. Ignore a path branching off to the left. You’ll cross a small road and continue straight ahead onto the Chemin de l’Échos. Watch out, make the most of it – you’re climbing the only steep slope of the walk.
(6) You arrive at the house I mentioned earlier. It is number 110. Carry on, heading back down. A path joins from your left. You’ll soon come to a crossroads.
(7) Right in front of you is the "Chemin de la Beauté"! You won’t need to be asked twice – take it.
(8) When you reach an electricity pylon, the path turns left. You follow it. Upon reaching the first houses of Saint-Hilaire, you leave it – reluctantly, of course – to take a stony path on the right, the Chemin des Blachettes.
When you reach the end of it, turn left. You’ll come to the back of the Town Hall. A porch on the left allows you to return to your car park without having to go round the building (S/E).
