Park in the small car park in front of the town hall, Place de la Fontaine.
(S/E) Follow the village’s main street southwards.
Yellow/red markings
(1) 100 m from the village exit, turn left in the middle of the meadow. Cross the meadow, then head into more wooded areas following the well-marked path. Ignore the offshoots on either side and reach a road.
(2) Follow it to the left and, 200 m further on, at the right-hand bend, take the path leading uphill to the left. This path is clearly marked heading north, then takes a sharp bend southwards to join a wide track. Continue to the right as far as the houses at Le Charmeil, where you reach a road.
(3) Cross the road and take the slightly left-hand ascending path, which then turns into a forest track. After a gentle climb, you’ll reach a road.
(4) Do not follow the road but take the hairpin bend to the right, heading downhill. Follow the path through the forest, ignoring the signposts to the right for “Ferme Adrien” and “Toquemada”. The path heads southwards downhill, then levels out, and then heads south-east and eastwards up a steep slope.
At the ridge, the path becomes a stony track. After 500 m, leave the track and take a path downhill to the right. Cross an area of tall beech trees and reach the Haut Goulandière junction.
End of Yellow/Red markings – Start of White/Red markings
(5) Continue straight ahead towards the east and leave the forest. You will reach the ruins of La Goulandière. Follow the right-hand descending edge of the meadow. After crossing through the forest, reach and pass the other ruins of Petite Goulandière. Continue southwards to reach the Belvédère du Ranc viewpoint with its information board explaining the views.
(6) Return along the same path to the last ruins. Continue left along the outward route, ignoring the path that branches off to the right at the edge of the meadow, and re-enter the forest.
Yellow-green markings
(5) Ignore the path leading to the finish opposite and turn right uphill, following theyellow-green markings. After a 200-metre climb, you will reach a stony path.
(7) Cross this track and continue straight ahead uphill. Follow the well-marked path with red and white markings, ignoring the side paths on either side. The path climbs to the left then descends to the right to reach a crossroads at Beauregard.
(8) Continue straight ahead along the flat path for 200 m to see the chasm below on the left in the forest.
(9) Retrace your steps.
(8) Head downhill to the right.
After 200 m, you’ll arrive near the Pra l’Étang cave on the right, which is recognisable by its gravel path. Head to the cave to visit it, then return to the original path. Continue by taking the path down to the right until you reach a road.
(10) Follow the road to the right for a return trip to the Fontaine de Pétouze, 250 m away.
(11) Retrace your steps.
(10) Follow the road for 100 m and turn right onto a path leading downhill towards the west, then heading north to reach a road near a house in Bournet.
(12) Follow the road to the left. At a left-hand bend, cut across two successive bends in the road to find yourself below it, which is now on your left. The almost level path reaches a road at Croix Sappey.
(13) Cross the road and head straight ahead. Follow the path, which then becomes a road as you approach the village of Presles. Continue to Place de la Fontaine (S/E).
