Start: park on the "Retournement poids lourds" (heavy goods vehicle turning area). To get there, follow the signs for "Mairie / salle polyvalente" (town hall/community hall) in the village. At the left-hand bend leading up to the town hall, take the small road on the right signposted "Aire de retournement poids lourds" (heavy goods vehicle turning area) and follow this narrow road to the end where you will come to a small wooden shed surrounded by a dirt track.
(S/E) At the start of the hike, take the road towards the village for about 200 metres (the road you took to get there). After the climb, descend towards the village, ignore the first small road on the right and continue to the second small road on the right.
(1) Opposite an old building with a wooden balcony, turn right between the houses onto the small road that climbs up to a farm and becomes a small path, then a narrow, steeply sloping path that climbs for 700m (100m elevation gain). The path then becomes a good forest track, which you follow until you reach a junction.
(2) Turn left and stay on the main path without taking the next path that branches off to the left. After the high-voltage power line, turn slightly to the right.
(3) At the fork, turn right. Continue until you reach a junction of paths.
(4) Turn right and continue to the Croix de la Montagne.
(5) At the Croix de la Montagne junction, take the path that branches off to the right. Just before the high-voltage power line, keep left and continue straight ahead (south-east then south). When you leave the forest, cross a pasture on a barely visible path.
(6) Ignore a path that descends to the right and continue south-southeast. Descend through the woods.
(7) Turn right and tackle a steep but short climb to reach a crossroads, the Golet d'Ars (signpost).
(8) Then turn left at an acute angle and climb for about 300 m (a steep climb with deep ruts). You will reach the cliff, which offers a beautiful, sweeping view. The access to the cliff is on the right of the path at a sharp left turn. Return by the same route to the previous junction.
(8) Back at Golet d'Ars, take the path that descends to the left. The narrow, stony path descends quite steeply into the forest and then becomes a good track. It reveals beautiful rolling pastures and a wide panorama. Although very steep at first, the descent is not difficult.
(9) Just after the Croix du Puisieux, take the wide path on the left.
(10) At the next intersection, turn right to return to the starting point (S/E).
. Otherwise, it was a lovely walk!
