Description of the walk

Park in the car park at Sadroc school.

(S/E) Walk up Rue de l’Église, go round the church and then walk back down the same street. Turn left onto Chemin du Château, then turn left onto Route de la Forge and walk past the pond.

(1) At the crossroads, turn left onto the D9 towards Saint-Bonnet-l'Enfantier. Take the first right, then, at the crossroads, turn left to rejoin the D9. Continue straight on along the road.

(2) Take the first path on the left (the route is approximate on the map). Keep left to follow the D9. At the end of the field, turn right onto a path that joins the D9. As the path is narrow, if you are on a bike, take the road between points 2 and 3

(3) On the D9, walk a few steps to the right and take the small road heading straight north. Walk past the hamlet of Moulin de la Chapelle. Ignore the road branching off to the left, then, at the junction, turn right towards La Chapelle and cross the hamlet of La Vergnolle.

(4) At the next junction, turn right towards Chadapaud. The road crosses a stream and then bends to the left. In the bend, ignore the road branching off to the right towards La Plantade.

(5) At the hamlet of Coudert, turn right and ignore the road on the left leading to a junction. At the end of the road, before Le Bos, take a path on the right which is not shown on the map. Continue right along the road until you reach a pond.

(6) At the end of the pond, take a path on the right which is also not shown on the map. Cross a road and continue along the path opposite.

(7) At the next junction, take the road on the right towards Sadroc.

(1) Turn left onto Route de la Forge to return to the school (S/E).

A very pleasant route. Two points to note: this route corresponds to a trail signposted with orange signs reading "Foyer rural et festif" (with no further details, number or name of the walk).

This may be useful as the names of localities are not indicated, so the landmarks given in the description with the names of localities are unusable.

The church is well worth a visit!
