The route is marked on the ground by square wooden posts, theoretically topped with a green marker, green-painted stones, and green and white logos painted on the pavements or placed at the top of the posts (please note that the arrow is sometimes pointing in the wrong direction).
(S) From Place Bellevue, take the footbridge over the railway tracks. Continue straight ahead along Rue Buffon. At the crossroads, continue along this street, then turn slightly right onto Rue Louis-Joseph Gras. Just before the bridge, climb up a path on the right to reach the old railway line. Continue along this track until you reach a fork in the road with a path leading up to the left.
(1) Go up this path. It leads to a wooded meadow where there are no longer any paths or markers. Continue straight ahead to reach Boulevard Philippe Raoul Duval at the top of the hill. Turn right. At the second crossroads, turn left onto Boulevard Salvador Allende. Then, at the beginning of Rue des Saules, take the path on the right where you will find the green markers. The path passes behind the houses and leads to a vacant lot. Cross it, veering to the left (no path), to reach Rue Alfred Combet. Cross it and continue straight ahead, following the markers.
(2) Turn right onto Rue Florent Evrard and immediately turn left onto Rue du Puits Rochefort. Follow it until you reach Rue Croix de Mission.
(3) Turn right onto this street and, a little further down, turn left onto the path marked by green signs. It runs alongside allotments and then joins Rue Auguste Poncetton.
(4) Cross the street and continue straight ahead on the cement path. Cross Rue Séverine and continue straight ahead until you see the fire station. Continue straight ahead. After a shaded passage, the path crosses a wasteland and then leads to Chemin du Crêt de la Faye. Turn right and go down the street.
(5) Turn left onto Rue Callixte Plotton.
(6) Turn left and go up Boulevard Maréchal Franchet d'Espèrey. At the top, turn right onto Boulevard Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny. At the end of the straight road, turn right down Rue Charles Floquet to reach the crossroads. Turn left.
(7) Cross Rue Palluat de Besset and continue straight ahead on Rue de Chavassieux. Turn left onto Rue du Puits de la Garenne. A little further up, take the path on the left marked with green signs. This path does not appear on any map. It runs alongside a shared garden, crosses a grove, then passes over a surprisingly wide bridge and joins Rue Louise Michel Gonon. Turn left, then go down to the right, continuing along this street. Continue straight ahead. After crossing three streets, continue along the fairly steep uphill path between the houses, which continues along the dead-end street. You will then reach a path that only appears on the Open StreetMap hiking map. Turn left and follow the markers. Go up to the right and turn right again onto the main path.
(8) At the entrance to the undergrowth, the markers invite you to continue straight ahead, but it would be a shame not to visit the solar monument at the top. Take the path on the left to climb up to Crêt des Six Soleils. Follow the semi-circular path on the left that goes around the solar monument. Follow the green markers on the left (north) to continue across the meadow (there isn't really a path, just a vague trail) and join a cross path. You can continue straight ahead following the markers, but this requires descending a slightly steep slope, which may discourage some people. The solution is to turn right onto the path, then veer left to quickly rejoin the marked route (the solution adopted by the route on the map). Continue straight ahead, north, each time the path crosses a road. At the bottom of the hill, in the undergrowth, you can follow the markings that invite you to turn right, but this will lead to a slight climb, which may again seem daunting. You can avoid this by continuing straight ahead, then after leaving the woods, take the tarmac road on the right. It appears to be a dead end, but in fact it turns at a right angle and crosses through allotments. At the bottom of the hill, it joins the marked route. Continue downhill to reach Rue Jean-François Revollier.
(9) Turn left onto this street. At the next crossroads, turn right onto Rue Bel-Air. Go down the lane on the left, which veers to the right and heads north along the gardens. The path then enters the undergrowth and follows a wide semi-circle. At the end of this lane, do not take the path on the left, even though it is marked by signposts, but continue straight ahead. The path leaves the woods and leads to Rue Olivier de Serres. Go down to the next crossroads.
(10) Turn right onto Rue de Grouchy. You will quickly reach the church, then Place de la Terrasse (also known as Place Massenet) on the left as you cross the bridge (E).
