(S/E) With your back to the church, go down to the right, past the wash house. At the crossroads, turn left.
(1) Take the left-hand path under the forest canopy. Cross the ford over the Loing and walk up to the first houses.
(2) Just before the tarmac road, turn left, then left again at the railway line. Continue to the next road, keeping the railway line on your right.
(3) Cross the RD85 with caution. Walk along the railway line on the right. Cross the Pont Cobaty bridge over the Loing river, which offers a first view of the lake. Shortly after the bridge, descend on the right and walk along the riverbank. You will come to the dyke. Turn onto the tarmac road on the right.
(4) At the end of the dyke, turn right and then immediately left onto the path. Continue along the path on the left. You will come out onto a cross road.
(5) Cross the road and take the path. In wet weather, this section can be slippery as several springs feed into this sunken path. When you reach the road, turn right.
(6) After passing the last houses in Les Boulmiers, turn left onto the path (greenhouses on the right). When you reach Les Michauts, you will rejoin the road.
(7) Leave the road on the right and take the road serving this hamlet for a few metres, then leave it for a path on the left.

(9) Turn right and head towards Place du Marché, passing under the archway. Continue straight on along Rue de la Roche.
(10) Go down Rue Colette. Pass the church on your left. Carefully cross the RD955 and then the railway line.
(11) Turn right onto Chemin du Petit Moulin, which initially runs alongside the railway line. Pass the pumping station, then cross the Loing river via a small bridge. Leave a path on your right.
(12) Turn left. After about 150 metres, a window in the hedge opens up to reveal a wide panorama of houses tumbling down the hill, as described by Colette. Join a tarmac road, climb up to the right for about a hundred metres and enter under an arch formed by the hedges on either side. At the first path, turn right and head towards Les Cagnats.
(13) Turn right, follow the road and take the next path on the left. At the first three-way junction, turn right, then right again at the second three-way junction. Walk downhill parallel to the hedge bordering a field. After the first houses, turn left then right. Follow the road, passing in front of the Jolivets spring and fountain. Then, descend to the right to reach the village of Moutiers, passing in front of the church porch (S/E).
