The hike starts on the Rampon quarry road (D194 between Verzé and Cluny). You can park just after the "Randonnée" sign on the right-hand side of the road.
White markings.
(S/E) Continue along the path towards the D194 for a few metres, then take the path on the right into the woods. Follow the white markings. Be careful of the many paths in the woods, which should be ignored. The descent to the stream is quite steep.
(1) Cross the small stream, then climb up to the Croix Montmain.
(2) Col de la Croix Montmain (altitude 500 m). Crossroads of the roads from Verzé, Igé and Cluny. A memorial commemorates the sacrifice of the Montmain resistance fighters (1944). Cross the Verzé road to take theGR®76A, known as the Chemin des Chevaliers, and turn left at the first fork.
(3) When you reach the Croix du Prunier, continue straight ahead on theGR®. On the descent, as you leave the woods, you will have a clear view of the Val Lamartinien and, in particular, the fortress of Berzé-le-Châtel.
(4) When you reach the road, do not follow it, but immediately take the path on the left that descends to the hamlet of Les Tardys.
(5) Cross the hamlet to the bottom, turning left just after the junction with the Route de Berzé-la-Ville. Join the departmental road and follow it to the right until you reach the first path on the left in the bend (Chemin de la Tête Nicole).
(6) Follow this picturesque path lined with low walls. View of the hamlet of Vaux Pré. Join the junction with another path.
(7) Turn right for a few metres, then immediately left into the woods. Please note that the entrance to the path is not very visible. Continue straight ahead to the car park (S/E).
