(Park in the Sainte-Croix Abbey car park). Moderator update on 21/09/2020: The car park at the start of this hike is now prohibited by the abbey. The hike is still possible provided you find another car park along the route
(S/E). From the car park, return to the entrance to the abbey access road, near the D741.
(1) Turn left as you exit, along the Route de la Cadoullière towards Flée.
(2) At the entrance to the hamlet, at No. 21, turn right towards the south-west. Immediately leave the tarmac road on the left and take the marked path 1-5A on the right. Keep left at the next two junctions and you will come out onto a tarmac road.
(3) Turn left onto this tarmac road which descends, cross the Miosson stream and climb back up.
(4) At the exit of the hamlet of La Minière, turn right onto the path along a field. Ignore a path on the right and continue to a T-junction.
(5) Under the power line, take the path perpendicular to the left, towards the railway line, which you cross.
(6) When you reach the road, cross it and continue along the path opposite.
(7) At the crossroads, leave the "Jean le Bon" path on your right and continue straight ahead on the path marked 1-5A. Continue to La Braudière.
(8) Do not cross the hamlet but turn right. Go straight ahead at the next crossroads, turn right (north) onto the path and reach the hamlet of Mouchedune.
(9) Follow the tarmac road to the left and, at the bend, take the cul-de-sac on the right. Go down to the wooden barrier, then turn left to the Miosson stream.
(10) Cross the small bridge and follow the path on the left, which climbs up alongside a wire fence.
(11) At the three-way junction, take the path on the left along the wire mesh fence, continue for 200 metres, then turn left again onto the forest path that winds its way to the old road (area for travellers). Leave the large stones on your right, turn left, pass between the stones and cross the railway bridge.
(1) Turn left to return to the abbey car park (S/E).
. Next time!
