The starting point is at the car park of the town hall or the school, which is on the other side of the road.
(S/E) With your back to the town hall, follow the street to the right, then at the fork, take Rue A Dame Catherine and continue straight on to Les Godebouts, 2 km away.
(1) At the right-hand bend, take the wide path opposite that leads down towards the forest.
(2) At the T-junction, turn left even if it seems inaccessible. However, this is the right way to go, although the path is a little narrow and technical for 80 metres.
(3) Turn right onto a path that is still a little technical, then when you reach the bottom, turn left, then left again. Pass under the power lines, then turn right and follow the clearing to a place called Les Bruyères.
(4) When you reach the tarmac, turn left twice as if you were retracing your steps and continue for a good while on the Chemin du Val Dallet, which runs alongside the forest for 3.3 km. Ignore all the paths on either side.
(5) You will arrive at a rest area with a table for lunch, a sign indicating the routes and your geographical position, some information about respecting the area, etc. After your break, take the road on the right and continue for about 200 metres.
(6) Look carefully on your left because, just before a small road on the right and through the vegetation, there is a small, fairly shady path that is not very visible, which goes uphill: this is the one you need to take!
(7) When you reach the forest road, take the path immediately on the left, then, 350 metres further on, turn left again and you will come to another forest road.
(8) Cross over and take the path opposite on your right for about 450 metres.
(9) Turn left to join the Cinq Hêtres forest road.
(10) Turn left until you reach the next intersection.
(11) When you reach this crossroads, turn right and then right again a hundred metres further on, onto Chemin de Brestot. Continue to a crossroads.
(12) Turn left, ignore a road on the left and continue to a fork.
(13) Take the small path on your right and continue straight ahead until you reach the second T-junction.
(14) Turn left onto the path that goes uphill.
(15) When you reach the Chêne à la Vierge forest road, turn left until you reach the pumping station (small chalet): you can take a break at this pleasant spot, but there is nowhere to sit.
(16) Go up the path on the right, which climbs gently but steadily, to reach a tarmac road. When you reach the tarmac, turn left and then immediately right. Cross the D47 (take care) and continue straight ahead to return to your starting point, paying attention to the crossroads just before you arrive (S/E).
