(4) At the crossroads, continue straight ahead (leaving theGR® trail to your left). Continue straight ahead (south-southwest), ignoring the paths on the left. At the crossroads in the first bend (elevation 76), turn right onto the forest track, at the end of which you will see a half-timbered house. Pass under a high-voltage power line and you will come out onto a small road.

(5) Cross the road and turn left onto Chemin des Demoiselles between two half-timbered houses. Turn left onto Rue du Coq à l'Âne and ignore the road coming from the right. At the sign for "Route n°22 Le Genetey", follow the corresponding path to the right. You will come to a crossroads at the bottom of a descent.

(6) Take thesecond path on the right, a sunken path that continues downhill. After a pumping station, cross the D67 and follow the Route du 8 Mai 1945 opposite. Turn right onto this road, pass an agricultural silo and continue straight ahead, ignoring the side roads. Pass the hamlet of Bercy, continue straight ahead and leave the cemetery on your left.

(7) At the crossroads shortly after entering the village, go straight ahead. Go around the library and turn right. You will come out onto the D21 and follow it to the left.

There weren't many people on this route on Saturday, 24 February 2024. It's true that the weather wasn't very encouraging. We covered the first quarter of the route in light rain and finished under a very threatening sky. The ground was soggy, but it was easy to walk along the edges of the paths, away from the tracks left by horses. There were some beautiful houses to admire at point 5. The descent through the woods to point 6 forced us to walk alongside the path to avoid getting our shoes too dirty. All in all, it was a very pleasant route.
