Parking in the hamlet of Maillot, at the intersection of Chemin de Maillot and Chemin des Mercureaux. Yellow trail markings. Some sections are unmarked.
(S/E) Descend about 200m along the Chemin de Maillot. Leave the two small bridges on your left and, after the electrical transformer, take the small street on the left, continuing along the Grands Prés route, which quickly turns into a path. Cross the Mercureaux stream via a small wooden bridge.
You are now above the Bout du Monde waterfall. Climb this steep path, where you can see the tracks left by the iron-rimmed wheels of our old carts. Two-thirds of the way up the slope, climb a small, barely visible path on the right for a few metres to reach the viewpoint over the old village of Beure. But be extremely careful, as the viewpoint is not secure! Return to the path and continue climbing, glancing down to your right. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a chamois's tail.
(1) When the path turns 90° and continues to climb towards the Arguel plateau, continue straight ahead on a path that quickly branches off. Descend to the right on the path that leads to the Ruisseau de la Pisseur, which has carved out pretty little gorges , and follow it carefully along the steep path: the stones are always wet and slippery! After a few metres of descent, don't miss the path on the left that leads to the stream to discover the exit of the gorge with its waterfall. You will come out of the woods at the top of a pasture, which you will cross towards the gate below. Do not wander into the pasture, as the path is communal but the meadow is private. About thirty metres before the gate, turn left and follow the stream to reach the bottom of a pretty little valley where the Pisseur waterfall offers the charm of its two cascades. Stop at the first one. A path leads to the second, but beware 
: although the climb seems easy, the return journey seems perilous to me! Return to the gate. Immediately take the lane on the right towards the Château du Bout du Monde, at the foot of the waterfall.
(2) Then descend to the left, crossing the stream on a footbridge, and rejoin the trail markers. Head right towards the waterfall (towards Chemin de Maillot). After the waterfall, join a small tarmac road and descend to the left for 250 metres. Look for a signpost on a telephone pole inviting you to climb to the right, at the corner of the wall, onto the stony path of Le Sert and discover the ancient Roman road and its ruts carved into the stone (towards Bois de Peu). Shortly after the Roman road, take a sharp left turn. At a large stone with signposts, turn left again and continue climbing through the box trees, then carefully along the ledge to the meadows and the viewpoint over the Doubs Valley, where there is a bench.
(3) The marked path starts again from the bench and crosses the length of the pasture. Turn your back on it and go straight ahead across the meadow to reach a fork. Take the grassy path sloping slightly down to the right to reach a hunting car park.
(4) Continue to the right along the beautiful stone path. At the end of a large bend to the left, when you see the hill opposite, don't miss the stone path that descends to the right down the wooded slope. You will reach Chemin de Maillot by passing between two houses. Go up to the left to return to the car park (S/E).
