From the Champs Romain town hall, follow the signs for the Saut du Chalard and park at Le Piélut, in the car park provided for the walk.
(S/E) When leaving the car park, do not follow the signs for Saut du Chalard, but instead head in the opposite direction, along the road towards Champs Romain for about 100 metres. At the first bend (to the right), go straight on along the "liaison de Saint-Pardoux par le Codert" path, which descends through meadows. After passing a farm, continue straight downhill until you reach a road at the entrance to the hamlet of Le Codert.
(1) Take the road on the left for a few metres and turn onto the path that branches off to the right towards the meadows. It continues zigzagging downhill through a coniferous forest.
(2) After skirting a meadow below on your right, the path splits in two: take the left-hand path which enters the undergrowth. In some places, the path splits into two, with one branch running along the river over rocks and the other passing along the slope overlooking the river. At the end of the path is the Saut du Chalard waterfall (photo).
(3) To return to the car park, retrace your steps a little and then turn right to follow the PR®, marked in yellow, which climbs through the woods. After the barrier, turn right to continue climbing, then halfway up, at a bench, turn left and finish the climb between meadows.
Return to the car park (S/E).
