Park in the abbey car park.
(S/E) Near the abbey, it is easier to follow these directions than to use a map. Leave the abbey behind you. Near the car park, at the bottom, you will see a large statue of the Virgin Mary. Take one of the paths to the right of the statue to go down to the wall. There, turn right, follow the wall first and then the fence (red and yellow markings). At the T-junction, turn left and you will come to the sign for "Come au Châtré - 450 m".
(1) Turn right at the hairpin bend (north-west) and follow theGRP® de Pays towards Saint-Léger-Vauban (red and yellow markings).
(2) After approximately 1.5 km, at a crossroads, leave theGRP® and follow the black mountain bike trail on the left. The path, initially heading south-west, makes a 90° left turn and heads north-west to the D355.
(3) Turn left to follow the road (very little traffic). Then cross the pretty hamlet of Trinquelin, keeping to the left at the first three-way junction.
(4) At the signposted crossroads "Chemins de Pèlerins - Les Brizards", turn left.
(5) At the sign for "Abbaye de la Pierre-qui-Vire" - Gorges du Trinquelin - Chemins de Pèlerins", turn left to enter the forest and follow the course of the Trinquelin. You will pass the Rochers de la Breuilotte on your left.
(6) At the crossroads, go left and then turn right about 50 metres further on.
(1) Continue straight ahead to return to the fence, then to the wall. Turn right and head back to the car park (S/E).
