Parking is available in the car park of the Moigny-sur-Ecole cemetery, which can be reached by taking Rue de Verdun from the Grand Rue between the church and the town hall.
Signposting: Yellow (+ red and white for the first 300 metres)
Signposting is sparse and, on some sections where there are no supports, it is almost non-existent. Here and there you will find "PR®31"signposts.
(S) With your back to the car park and facing the war memorial, turn left into Rue Adonis Rousseau and follow the cemetery wall on your right. Cross Rue des Écoliers on the left, then Chemin des Ruelles on the right. At the next crossroads, turn right into Rue des Gros Mahaux (ignore theGR®32, which turns left).
(1) After passing a dead end on the left, the paved road gives way to a path that turns left between two fences. Go through a forest gate and enter the Domaine Départemental de la Platière de Bellevue. Continue through the forest on a path where old rough paving is still visible. At first, climb quite steeply, winding your way up. Then, cross a flat, more open area, staying on the main path.
(2) At the T-junction (signpost; you can make a quick detour to the left for a view), take a flat path on the right that runs along the edge of the plateau. At the next intersection (marker on the left), continue straight ahead through a typical heathland plateau landscape. The path then descends into the forest. Go through a forest gate and leave the departmental property. Then turn left along the edge of the forest on your left and the field on your right.
(3) At the next crossroads (signpost), turn right (west) onto a path that runs between the fields. After passing through the edge of the woods (on your right), turn left. At the three-way junction, turn right (old yellow sign on a rock on the ground). Head north, staying on a good path that becomes paved after a few hundred metres.
(4) At the T-junction (signpost), follow the small road on the left. At the next junction, at the entrance to the composting platform, turn right into Rue de Launay. Walk north for about 1 km on this small road with a good footpath on the right-hand side.
(5) At the edge of the Ferme de Launay, just before a junction with a small road coming from the left, take a path that enters the woods on the right (PR®31/PR®07signpost, "No motor vehicles" sign). Be careful to spot this very discreet path; a signpost a few metres further along the road indicates "Fin duPR®31"(End of PR®31). Go down into the woods, ignore a trail on the right and, at a fork, turn left. Go slightly uphill and you will reach a T-junction.
Yellow + orange markings
(6) Turn right. Descend into the woods, ignoring the paths on either side. When a wide sandy path arrives from the left, continue straight ahead (due east). Leave the woods and alternate between fields and the edge of the woods. After the path turns south-east, you will reach a crossroads between fields (signpost lying on the ground in September 2015, indicating the polishing stone).
No signposts
(7) Turn right onto a good path. After about 100 metres, before reaching the edge of a wood on the left, turn right onto a grassy path that leads to another wood. The polisher is immediately after the corner of the wood, on the left-hand side before a large chestnut tree.
(8) Retrace your steps to the Quatre Chemins crossroads.
Yellow signposting
(7) Turn right and head south-east towards the village, which is clearly visible. When you reach the village, the path becomes a narrow lane. Turn right into Rue du Souvenir. At the stop sign, continue straight ahead on the same street. When you reach a sign for "Chambres d'hôtes" (bed and breakfast), ignore the very old arrow pointing to the left and continue straight ahead. You will come to a street coming from the left. Continue diagonally to the right (do not turn right at a right angle). You will quickly reach the war memorial and the car park where you started.
