Pleasant walk.
Please note that the route has been changed before point 3. The end of the path, which used to lead up to the school, has been privatised. Therefore, do not go up to the top of this hill, where there is a house. There is a yellow cross marking the route. Take the path under the trees on your right. This will take you to the road. Go up to the left to pass in front of the school and reach point 3.

A pleasant hike in good weather, offering beautiful scenery. As parking is not permitted in the car park of Arnac church, I would recommend using the cemetery car park, which is about 500 metres away.
