District:
Park on the square on the right after the roundabout, right next to the cemetery.
(S/E) Head south-west on the pavement, cross the D 370 at the pedestrian crossing, then cross the small park and take the small street heading south. At each junction, keep right to stay on the GRP Tour du Bassin d'Annonay trail, marked in red and yellow. You will reach a four-way junction on the edge of a vineyard.
(1) Keep to the right-hand path towards the hamlet of Balais. Cross the hamlet and continue to follow the GRP°°® signs to Lac de Vert.
(2) Leave theGRP® here and take the wide path on the right heading north-west. Follow the lake for a short while, then leave it and climb up through an oak forest to reach a small bridge over the railway line.
(3) Do not cross the bridge, but take the small path on the left that joins the railway line. Turn right towards the Midon tunnel. Switch on your lights to cross this 782 m long tunnel. At the tunnel exit, continue for about 300 m along the track and pass under a bridge.
(4) Take the small path on the right to cross this bridge. Continue on the path opposite towards the hamlet of Revèlardon, cross the hamlet and take the small tarmac road towards L'Eterpas until you reach a hiking signpost.
(5) Turn right onto the path, descend to a small stream, then climb back up a small road. Follow it to the left, between the old houses of the hamlet, then turn right onto Rue du Tilleul until you reach a small paved road, Rue de L'Aubépine.
(6) Turn right onto this road. It quickly becomes a path at the first crossroads. Continue right towards an oak forest, staying on the main path. Be careful here: many crossroads have been created by mountain bikers. Join the small Ruisseau des Aygas stream.
(7) Cross it and then head back up towards Pied Lecte. Continue straight ahead on a small paved road and follow it to the crossroads at the entrance to the hamlet of Solore.
(8) Turn right onto the path and descend quickly southwards to a small road. Cross it once, then rejoin it very quickly.
(9) Go up it for about ten metres, do not take the road opposite towards the small bridge, but take the path downhill on the left. Pass some boulders and a barrier to rejoin the old railway line. Follow it, passing the 110-metre-long Thorrenc Viaduct, then the 262-metre-long Thorrenc Tunnel and finally the Torrenson Viaduct. Continue along the old track to reach the crossroads at the bridge at the exit of the Midon Tunnel passed on the way out.
(4) Reach the bridge, but do not cross it. Instead, head south on the path. Climb up into a pine forest. At the next crossroads under the high-voltage line, turn left, cross the Fromentoux stream and join the road leading to the hamlet of Ozas.
(10) Turn left towards the east, into the hamlet, and pass a small square. At the next crossroads, turn left and then right twice until you reach the hamlet of Ozas. Here you will rejoin theGRP® Tour du Bassin d'Annonay.
(11) Turn right and continue until you reach this hamlet and a crossroads with five paths.
(12) Take the right-hand road heading south, which will take you back to the village of Talencieux. Turn into the street leading to the cemetery to find the car park (S/E).
