(S/E) Return to the road (D345) and follow it to the right towards Tonnerre. 100m after the left-hand bend, take the path to the right (large electricity pole), which climbs up through the vineyards. Cross the 1st Vaucoupin vineyard (famous wines), keeping to the North-East. Ignore the paths on either side, and join a small tarmac road on the right.
(1) At the end of the tarmac, turn around to admire the view of the Chablis vineyards. Then continue on the path slightly to the right until it bends 90° to the right.

(3) Turn right onto a wider road. Continue for approx. 500m.
(4) Turn left, then right-left, and follow the road for about 300m to a T-junction.
