(S/E) Facing the road, take the path on the left into the woods, which climbs up towards the fields. At the top, continue straight ahead on the path through the Villeneuve plain.
(1) When you reach Civrais, turn left towards Villeneuve. Turn left again at the crossroads.
(2) At the entrance to Villeneuve, continue straight ahead for about 60 metres, then turn left onto a small tarmac road. At the crossroads, go straight ahead and cross the bridge over the Marcusson.
(3) A few dozen metres further on, take the path on the left and turn right at the next crossroads to go back up towards the plain. Further on, turn left at a 90° angle and join a fork in the road.
(4) Turn right to follow the Brangeard valley. At the T-junction, turn left and descend to the road.
(5) Cross the road at the Trousse Chemise wash house to climb back up to Chemin de Casse Échine, which you should follow to the left.
(6) Turn left to cross the Cueille du Paradis: be careful, as the end of the descent is quite steep and stony. Once you reach the road, take a first turn right then left, cross the first bridge over the Ruisseau de Brangeard, then the second.
