Depart from the centre of Letra above the Azergues valley. The village is on the right, away from the valley road. Park near the town hall or a little further down near the sports complex, going downhill from the town hall
(S/E) Walk up through the village and pass behind the church, admire the wash houses or springs on the left and take the first path on the left.
(1) At the fork, take the grassy path on the left which then goes around a vineyard (do not take the path that goes right between two vineyard plots but go around the vineyard) then go straight up, which then turns into a tarmac road: Chemin des Remparts.
(2) At a place called Sornel, keep left and then turn right after the farm. You will soon reach the edge of a wood on your left. Do not continue along the path that goes downhill, but turn left between the vineyard and the wood and after about 50 metres take the path on the right to cross the wood. When you come out of the wood, continue along the hillside between the vineyards. Cross a road and continue along the path opposite.
(3) At a left-hand bend after a small pond on the left, do not take the first path on the right in the bend, but the better marked path 20 m above on the right. After a pond on the right, follow the road to the right and cross the first hamlet, Chez le Bois, to reach Le Farginet.
(4) In the hamlet, turn onto a path on the left and go straight up a concrete slab path between the vineyards. Ignore the paths on the right or left. The climb is quite steep until you reach a road.
(5) Cross it and take the path opposite, which continues to climb.
(6) Keep to the path on the left which climbs up to Crêt Courrier and then descends to a road.
(7) Take it to the right for about 600 metres before turning onto a path that branches off to the left in a hairpin bend.
(8) Keep to the path on the right, which descends, sometimes steeply, to the stream (ignore the forest paths that branch off to the left during the descent) and take the first path on the right that runs alongside the stream (ignore the path that branches off to the left near the stream and do not cross the bridge made of large logs). Do not take the paths that go up to the right. Cross several wooden footbridges (right bank to left bank, then left bank to right bank).
(9) After crossing the stream athird time from the right bank to the left bank, using the footbridge located about 100 m before the fork (you may be able to ford the stream at the fork depending on the water level), take the path that branches off to the left towards Sainte-Paule and quickly leave it, continuing on a path to the right that still follows the stream. The path on the left bank and then on the right bank moves away from the stream a little, giving way to meadows. When the path climbs again about 500 m after the last bridge, take a path on the left to stay parallel to the stream. Stay on this path when it turns right to climb up to Chatillatard and do not continue on the path that runs along the meadows near the stream.
(10) Cross the village of Chatillatard, ignoring the roads on the right, and continue straight ahead until you reach a road via a grassy path. Cross the road and continue along the small path opposite, which then climbs up towards the sports complex and the Town Hall car park (S/E).
