A lovely walk through the woods and along the water’s edge. We did it at the end of September, so the water level in the reservoir was very, very low. We’ll have to do it again in the spring to see it from a different angle.

Thank you for this walk.
It was lovely walking along the leafy paths, full of flowers and birds, with magnificent scenery – a real treat.
My GPS didn’t take me to the start car park, so I set off from Saut du Loup, first along a footpath, then onto the road.
At No. 1, I couldn’t find the path leading to the ferryman’s house, even though I followed the route on the map, and when I compared my track with the map, they were identical.
Back at the car park, I followed the path running parallel to the road signposted ‘Fontaine de Saint-Marien’ (thanks to Popoevaux for this detail).
At No. 4, upon reaching the Sainte-Radegonde Chapel, I recommend taking the path signposted “fontaine”, and once there, continuing along the grassy path. Because after admiring the chapel and the scenery, I retraced my steps and turned right at the bottom. The tour of the peninsula brings you back… to the “fontaine”!
In total, I covered 7 km.

We visited both chapels but didn’t complete the entire route. The promontory site of Sainte-Radegonde is remarkable. From D’Evaux, the small road leading there (via Entraigues) is blocked just before the Saint-Marien car park, as the suspension bridge is closed to traffic. However, please note that this road is narrow.

OPTION TO SPEND LESS TIME ON THE ROAD: PARK, HEAD TOWARDS THE ST MARIENET FOUNTAIN AND JOIN THE ROAD; THE DESCENT IS NOT EASY AS THE STAIRCASE IS VERY POORLY MAINTAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL
At St Radegonde, you can take the old path which joins the lower path that starts next to the cemetery

Take care when driving across the suspension bridge as it’s really narrow, but the view from the bridge is well worth the trip. It’s a shame that from the starting point (car park) the route follows the road.
