Description of the walk

Parking is available in a small grassy car park on the right-hand side of the road, about 500 m after the exit from La Coursaudière, towards La Ferrière.

Yellow signposts

(S/E) From the car park, cross the D121 with caution and take the gravel path opposite. Ignore the path on the right and, at the next T-junction, turn left and then immediately right at the Grange des Plants. Cross the road, continue on the track opposite and continue to the road.

(1) Follow it to the right until you reach La Roulière, then continue along the small road until you reach La Gobinière, which you cross until you reach the left-hand bend.

(2) Take the track on the right and ignore the path on the left just before the right-hand bend. Join the road at La Réate and follow it opposite until you reach the T-junction.

No signposts

(3) Take the road on the right, opposite the farm building, and continue until you reach the Abbey.

(4) Take the path on the left, at the corner of the small shed. Ignore the two paths on the left and continue to a road.

(5) Turn left under the power line. Take the road on the right, which becomes a narrow path, then widens again to reach a road. Continue along the road until the next intersection.

(6) Take the road east, ignoring the path on the left. When you reach the D121, cross it carefully and continue to the next crossroads.

(7) Take the path on the right and reach the car park at the start (S/E).
