Park in the car park near the post office in the centre of Sauxillanges.
Follow the blue markings.
(S/E) Go down the street and pass between the fountain and the Cluniac cloister. Go to the gate to admire it, then continue downhill. At the crossroads, turn left in front of the town hall. Then take the small street to reach the Quai des Coufferts and admire the sundial on the wall on the right and the half-timbered potter's house with its basalt stone window surrounds. Cross the leat on one of the two footbridges, then in front of the half-timbered house, turn left (towards La Chassagne/Picondry) and follow the road.
(1) Just after the bridge, turn left towards Château Gaillard. From this place, ignore a turn-off on the left and continue straight ahead on the path. At the intersection (altitude 536, viewpoint over Sauxillanges), continue straight ahead.
(2) At the "La Chassagne" fork, turn left. Before crossing the hamlet of La Chassagne (altitude 568, view of Sauxillanges), continue along the path through the woods.
(3) Stay on the main path. In a clearing, look left towards Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges. Be careful not to slip on the descent, and turn left at the hairpin bend heading north-west.
(4) At the bottom, continue left on the path without taking the concrete footbridge. Go down the wooden steps and the footbridge to reach the waterfall.
(5) Walk along the leat created by Cluniac monks around 930.
(6) At the first house, turn right and rejoin the leat, then the restored wash house. Cross the metal footbridge, go up the street, then turn left to pass in front of the primary school and left again before arriving at the post office (S/E).
