Parking in the streets of Châteldon is strongly discouraged due to their narrowness. A few parking spaces are available in front of the cemetery walls where the war memorial stands, others on Place Jean Jaurès (the starting point of this route), and a third parking area is located at the bottom of Rue des Galeries, below Rue Louis Duclos.
(S/E) Cross Place Jean Jaurès and the road, then turn right onto Rue Joseph Clausat, heading towards Rongère-Montagne. On leaving the village, opposite No. 64, take the path on the left which runs alongside the castle grounds. After 100 m, turn right and follow the steep path, ignoring a path on the right which leads back down to the road. At the top of the hill, you’ll reach a four-way crossroads at a place called Chez-Gironde.
(1) Continue straight ahead. Ignore a path on the right. Follow the track as it curves to the right, then ignore a path on the left to reach the hamlet of La Croix Vernet. Continue along the road, passing the hamlet of Chez tout Seul, and carry on for about a hundred metres.
(2) Turn left onto a north-west-facing dirt track and head for the Grand-Garde farm. Continue on to reach the Brafumel farm.
(3) Continue to the right towards the north-west and enter the Bois des Gris. Follow the path as it descends through the woods to a fork.
(4) Take a sharp left and head down to the road at a place called Chez Postillon. Follow the road to the left, running alongside the Vauziron. Pass the Chateldon spring building and enter the village via Rue Louis Duclos. Follow this road to Place Jean Jaurès (S/E).
