Bring walking sticks and good shoes, as there is a steep climb of about 450 metres.

Starting from the Ranquet spring. Do not hesitate: you must walk along the stream (which is almost always dry) and not climb the more inviting steps on the right. Otherwise, as the path narrows, you will end up in the middle of a sea of young holm oaks and impenetrable brambles (speaking from experience!).

Very good route. Magnificent views. I would definitely do this route again. There is just one place, well after the oppidum, in the steep passage where you really have to be careful to turn right, otherwise you risk getting lost.
Otherwise, it's a really nice little hike to do 😊

I also hesitated at the canyon, after the spring – I found it strange that, a little further on, you had to walk IN THE CANYON BED – I did it because I read the reviews that explained this problem before I left and that gave me confidence. Otherwise, I think I would have hesitated a lot.
I enjoyed the magnificent panorama above St-Dionisy and the Oppidum site, which was well presented.

Description unclear at times. For the view of the Vaunage hillside, those prone to vertigo should refrain. At the Ranquet spring, you can avoid the canyon by taking the Chemin des Aires in the village to climb back up to the Langlade road.

Hello – for this route, good description, follow it to the letter, especially as there are often precise directional signs – My only hesitation, at each "follow": the path is each time a little (very little) distant – Above all, I hesitated at the canyon, after the spring . I found it strange that, a little further on, you had to walk IN THE BED OF THE CANYON. I did so, but I was about to turn back when I found a yellow mark: it was indeed the "path" (in fact, on the map, it follows the canyon where, at the fork, you turn right) and not far away, you find a way to leave it, either by climbing up to the right
I enjoyed the magnificent panorama above St-Dionisy and the Oppidum site, which is well presented. There were many walkers, including families, as several paths lead there, as well as joggers and cyclists.

A very beautiful hike with varied landscapes. The buildings on the Opidum are incredible.
