(S/E) With your back to the town hall, turn left and, after the church, turn left onto Rue Placide Alexandre. Enter the courtyard of the Raimbourg Farm opposite the old butcher’s shop. Head towards the house opposite, turn left, then right, and make your way towards the small iron gates on your left.

(1) Turn right again to reach Chemin du Val au Roy, a T-junction. Turn left and then left again onto the first path leading downhill. At the bottom, turn right then left onto Chemin de la Pérelle and follow the tarmac.

(2) Cross the Clérette bridge and reach a T-junction. Head slightly left for about 290 m, taking great care ( busy road), until you reach the first turn-off on the right.

(3) Turn right, go under the railway bridge and immediately turn left onto a path open to pedestrians. When you reach the meadow, turn right and follow the field to the edge of the woods.

Turn left at the first road, Rue des Chatenières, and turn left again onto Chemin des Granges, entering the no-entry zone. At the end, at the sign marking a gas pipeline, turn right onto the grassy track and follow it until you reach the tarmac, Route du Chouquet.
