Start from the car park near the church in Boussoulet.
(S/E) Join the D15 and turn right. Immediately turn left towards "Les Bastiers" as indicated by a sign. Follow the road and pass a cross.
(1) At the intersection (elevation 1215), turn right at the bread oven.
(2) At the next crossroads, take the path on the left (entrance near a bench), passing in front of the house "L'estaou". Continue on the main path until you reach a road. Take the path opposite, which climbs gently.
(3) North of La Cunette, at a crossroads with several paths (one of which is used as a cross-country ski trail, as indicated by a sign), turn onto the second path on the left. Be careful, the path is not very visible. To find it, look for the large boulders blocking the entrance. The path enters the pine trees, then winds between the trees before running alongside small stone walls. You will come to a wide crossroads. Turn right.
(4) After a left turn, the trail follows a nearly straight line before curving slightly to the left.
(5) Turn right at the fork. The forest thins out and the path descends slightly. Just before a forest road visible below, turn left onto a path that leads to a raised hunting platform. Follow the path, using the red and whiteGR® and yellowPR® markings to guide you.
It comes out onto a road in a large clearing where picnic tables have been set up. Cross the road and take the path opposite that climbs towards Testavoyre.
(6) At the summit, you will have views of the Pic du Lizieux, Mont Mézenc and Alambre, Margeride and the Velay mountains.
The descent follows a path (starting near a small metal post planted in the rock), first through boulders, then through the forest and a moor. At the edge of the forest, there is a panoramic view of the knolls of the Yssingelais.
(7) You will arrive at a wide crossroads. Turn right.
(8) At the next crossroads, turn left (follow the yellow markings on the tree trunk). The path heads north-northwest and is straight.
(9) At the road, take the path opposite, which gradually moves away from the road and joins a crossroad. Continue straight ahead. You will arrive at a crossroads. Take the road opposite.
(10) Keep left: take the path that climbs uphill. Pass behind the house to reach the hamlet of Raffy.
Continue straight ahead on the road. At the next intersection, continue on the road that descends to the left of the post boxes. At the next crossroads, take the path that descends, following the sign for "Queyrières".
(11) You will come out onto the D18, which you should take on the right. Pass in front of the fountain blessed by Saint François Régis. Just after the bend, take the path on the left that descends. Continue along the edge of the forest (panoramic view of the village of Queyrières).
(12) At the crossroads, turn left to go around Roche Girard. Continue on the main path.
(13) Pass two water catchments and come out into a clearing (panoramic view of the hamlet of Raffy). Continue straight ahead, passing a third water catchment on your right. At the next intersection, turn right to reach the village of Monedeyres.
(14) Cross the D152 and follow the street opposite. Then turn left to go to the foot of the church. Cross the village following the main street without ever going downhill.
On leaving the village of Monedeyre, leave the cross on your left, cross the D152 and take the path opposite. Continue along this path between the hedge and the edge of the forest, then through the undergrowth between low walls. It leads to the village of Villaret, which you cross on the highest road.
After the last house, continue along the road for about 100 metres.
(15) Leave the road and take a path that climbs up to the left into the forest. The path climbs steeply. Follow the yellow markings. At the junction with a track, continue straight ahead to reach a forest road.
(16) Follow it for a few metres to the right, then take the path that climbs up to the left. Continue following the yellow markings. You will arrive at a house, which you go around at the back. Then, in Boussoulet Haut, turn right to descend to the bread oven.
(1) Turn right to return to your starting point (S/E).
