Park in the car park at the port of Aziré, a village located about 4 km from the town of Benet.
(S/E) Go around the port to take the grassy path that runs along the left bank of the Rigole d'Aziré.
(1) Turn left onto a small path that goes around the fishing ponds and then return to the left onto the path that runs alongside the Rigole d'Aziré. As the path around the fishing ponds is blocked by branches, continue straight ahead.
(2) Take the chain boat (Rosalie) to cross, then continue left on the other bank. (You can stay on the left bank until you reach the Sainte-Christine bridge).
(3) Cross the road and continue along the path opposite, still following the Rigole d'Aziré. Join the Courdault Canal.
(4) Turn right onto the road, then right again before the bridge to descend onto the grassy (and sometimes slightly muddy) path that runs alongside the Courdault Canal. Continue until you reach the small tarmac road.
(5) Leave the tarmac road and turn right onto the path towards the chain boat (red sign). Reach the ford.
(6) Cross the ford using the chain boat (in rainy weather, water may stagnate in the boat. If possible, bring a bailer, otherwise see an alternative route in the practical information section). Continue along the path which joins another path opposite a private property on the left. Continue straight ahead to reach the road.
(7) Cross it and take Rue des Plantis almost opposite in the hamlet of Les Nattes. Follow the street for about 300 metres, then turn right and cross the bridge.
(8) Take the path on the left immediately after the bridge. Once you reach the entrance to a pasture, take the path that runs along the fence at the edge of the Conche des Nattes. Stay on this path, which crosses one or two footbridges before joining the path along the Rigole d'Aziré (watch out for nutria holes).
After the last footbridge, turn left and follow the Rigole d'Aziré to the wash house to return to the starting point (S/E).
