(S/E) With your back to the cemetery, take the D72 to the right for 350 m.
(1) At the large bend in the D72, leave a road with two no-entry signs on your right and take the forest track that starts between a wooden electricity pole and a metal telephone pole, heading up into the woods. White/yellow markings. Note: It is possible to park your car at the start of the path.
(2) At the top (elevation 292), turn right, following the white/yellow markings.
(3) At the junction of three paths: two wooden signposts; turn left, following the sign for “Sentier du Loup 15 km” marked in white and yellow. You will reach a stony track with a green metal hunting hut in front of you, slightly to the left of the junction.
