Park at the Charles Vacheron Gymnasium car park.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the school (corner of the car park). Take the path, go between the buildings and emerge onto Rue des Capucins. Cross the street, take the dirt track at the far end to the right of the car park and follow the route of the old railway line until it joins a small road. Turn left, go under the bridge and turn left again. Follow the pavement, then the stony path.
(1) Cross Rue du Lieutenant Théodose Morel and continue along the path. Then follow Rue Paul Garcin, crossing the car park of the Salle des Fêtes. Turn left until you reach the pedestrian crossing, cross Cours Baron Raverat and continue to the left.
Carry on to the Centre des Finances Publiques and turn right. When you reach the post office, go round it on the right and take the steps on the left along the ramparts. Ignore a path leading down to the right and continue up the steps on the left.
(2) Turn right onto Montée Saint-Laurent and follow it to Rue Frandin. Turn left onto Place du Platre, then right onto Rue du Marché Vieux. Follow this road to the second car park entrance on the left and cross through it.
Turn left onto Chemin des Docteurs Labonnardière. Just before reaching the give-way sign, take Chemin de Marie Siffle on the right between two walls. Follow it to the road (Chemin du Luminaire). Turn right. Before the give-way sign, turn right onto the small road leading to Place du Petit Collège.
(3) Cross the square and take the street on the right. At the Porte de Quirieu, turn right onto Rue du Marché Vieux.

At the end of the street, turn left and then immediately right. Head towards the Porte Neuve, go through it and then turn left until you reach the pedestrian crossing. Cross the road, turn left and continue to the junction.
(4) Turn right towards Siccieu, then right again. Take Chemin de Chaillonnette. At the fork, leave the yellow-marked path on your left and carry straight on. Pass the first path on your right. When you come to a wider path, keep right and follow it to the Saint-Hippolyte signpost.
Turn right towards Crémieu (pedestrians only). Go through the chain barrier and turn left. Pass the house belonging to the Association des Remparts. Turn right between two low walls, take the first entrance on the left and head towards the opening opposite. Continue straight ahead, go past the low wall and take the steps on the left.
At the bottom of the stairs, turn left and follow the path along the cliff, which offers views of the town of Crémieu and the plains of Lyon. When you reach the Saint-Hippolyte Tower, go through the gate and head down to the car park.
(5) Cross the car park, heading to the far right-hand corner, take the stairs leading onto Rue Vie Vielle, then turn left. Once on the road, turn right. Cross the road at the first pedestrian crossing and enter the market halls. At the third crossing, turn right to come out facing Rue Mulet. Walk up this street to the Ursulines building, then turn left onto Côte Faulchet. Ignore Rue Saint-Jean, which descends to the left, and continue to the far end on the right until you reach Rue Frandin.
(6) Turn left into this street, then left again onto Montée du Château Delphinal. When you reach the church, turn right, then left at the end of the cloister. Pass under the archway to the right of the town hall. Cross Cours Baron Raverat and head for the square on the right. Make your way towards the Auberge de la Chaite. At the end of the square, cross Rue des Capucins and turn left, following it as far as the school. At the ‘La Chaite’ signpost, turn right and head back to the starting car park (S/E).
