(S/E) Walk 50 metres up the road through Saint-Jeure-d’Andaure and turn left onto the small road that descends, passing a few houses. Just before the last house, leave the road to the left and take a lovely path that passes beneath this house and leads to the bottom of a small valley.
(1) Cross the stream and continue along this path, which climbs through a beech forest before emerging from the woods (ignore any paths crossing it). After a few metres, you’ll reach a grassy clearing.
(2) From there, cross a fenced-in meadow and descend into the valley, passing in front of a isolated house before reaching Bellevue Farm and a small road.
(3) Walk down this road for a few metres and take the path on the left, which gradually moves away from the road and descends whilst staying close to the edge of the woodland. The path enters the woodland and rejoins the road at a bend. Follow the road for a few dozen metres to reach a signpost.
(4) Take the path branching off to the left, then very quickly turn right to head straight down into the forest. Gradually turn towards the southern slope until you reach the edge of a meadow at La Roche des Gaulois.
(5) Continue along the path, which continues to descend and joins a small road.
(6) Cross the road and, immediately afterwards, follow the signposting onto a path on the left. The path turns right and begins to descend. This will take you to the hamlet of Blanchard.
(7) Take the access road to this hamlet on the right; it crosses a stream and climbs to the left. You’ll reach a crossroads and continue straight down to reach the village of Labatie-d’Andaure. Carry on straight ahead to reach the church.
(8) Turn left in front of the church and, shortly afterwards, follow a path that descends to the right to the bottom of the valley. Just after passing the cemetery, the path curves to the right to reach a large open space on the banks of the Doux.
Turn left onto this open space, then cross the River Doux via the bridge on the right. Carry on straight ahead, letting the main road bend to the right as it climbs up towards a cluster of houses.
(9) Once you reach them, turn left to walk alongside these houses, then take the path on the right which winds and climbs quite steeply. After two bends, the path joins a small road.
(10) Take this road straight ahead, pass through the hamlet of Issartial and, at the bottom of the descent, reach the hamlet of La Rase. Head left towards the bridge over the River Doux.
(11) Do not cross the bridge, but take the access road to the hamlet of Fangier on the right to reach a hairpin bend.
End of signposting
(12) Leave the road by heading straight on along a wide track (ignore the path on the left which descends towards the River Doux). This climbs for 200 metres towards a promontory before descending again and running past a ruined house.
Leave this house on your right and continue straight on along the edge of the meadow to reach the Doux.
Take the sturdy wooden footbridge on the left and, immediately after crossing, turn left onto the path and head uphill to join a road.
(13) Take this road to the right, pass through the hamlet of Maison Neuve, turn left with the road, then reach a junction.
(14) Take the road on the left which climbs, signposted Galey. Climb quite steeply, pass the isolated house at La Croix de Jeangrand, and reach the track leading to Paudécas at a bend. Continue along the road which climbs straight up to the ridge and, after about 500 metres, reach a three-way junction, situated near a cistern.
(15) Leave the road and head straight up the path opposite, which continues more or less uphill along the ridge. You’ll reach a goat farm where you’ll join the yellow and white markings, which you’ll follow to the finish.
Yellow and white markings
(16) Continue straight on along the path, cross a small road and reach a pylon. You will then quickly reach the village of Saint-Jeure-d’Andaure and its church (S/E).
