The starting point is Place du Prénat in the centre of the village of Les Boueix.
(S/E) Take the tarmac road back towards Beaumont and immediately turn left onto Rue des Bergers. At the farm, turn left again onto Rue des Chiez de Boueix and continue along the wide track.
(1) At a right-hand bend, the track gives way to a sunken lane. Follow this lane until you come to a large stony track. Follow the track to the left for about 50 metres.
(2) At the three-way junction, turn left and continue to the Roman bridge.
(3) Turn right onto the beautiful gravel path towards Beaumont (do not cross the river). Just after crossing a small stream, and before the tarmac, turn right onto the beautiful track to return to the three-way junction.
(2) Follow the gravel path on the left that goes uphill, ignoring the sunken path on the right (the one you came along earlier). Cross the tarmac road leading to the village of Les Boueix, continue straight ahead and at the end of the path, turn right.
(4) Continue along this path until you reach the cattle shed and turn left onto the road, then take the path that continues uphill.
(5) At the end of the path (ignore the first path on the left), continue along the left-hand side. At the small fir tree plantation on the right and the "private property" barrier, take the beautiful tuff track that branches off to the right (view of Quinssaines church, Montluçon and Puy de Dôme in good weather). Continue to the tarmac road, cross it and continue straight ahead, ignoring the side paths.
(6) At the foot of the first wind turbine, take the beautiful track on the right and continue until you reach a crossroads (Carrefour des Écourssats).
(7) Take the track on the right and continue straight ahead. At the bus shelter, cross the tarmac road and continue straight ahead on the stony track.
(8) At the end of the path, when you reach the tarmac, take the path on the right and continue until it narrows considerably (start of the Chemin creux de la Chaux). Continue and look for the cart wheel tracks in the granite of the path.
(9) At the end of the path, cross the stream by fording it or using the rustic footbridge and return to the starting point via the wide track on the right, which becomes a small road at the entrance to the village (S/E).
