When arriving in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier from Aubenas or Burzet, cross the bridge over the Bourges (towards Juvinas) and, about fifty metres further on, park on the Place du Marché on the left.
(S/E) Return via the bridge, turn left onto Rue du Bourg until you reach the paved slanting street after crossing a stream, opposite a cross. Walk up the paved slanting street (now tarmac-surfaced), turn right at the church, and go behind the village hall (former town hall and school). Continue along Rue du Village, which curves to the right to become a wide path. You will come to the Vinson stream, which you cross via an old bridge.
(1) Take the lovely paved slanting street that climbs to Chante-Perdrix. At the Tarissoux cross (Mât Les Champeaux), continue straight on. After the chestnut grove, you’ll reach a beautiful, well-maintained meadow, from where you can see the farms of Chante-Perdrix. Continue along the path between a field on the right and the chestnut grove on the left. You will reach a three-way junction.
(2) Leave the marked path and head down to the right along a winding farm track not shown on the IGN map. Follow the bends, keeping several buildings in sight but without taking their access paths or the farm track on the left. Continue the descent until you reach the Chante-Perdrix road. Take this road on the left. At the first hairpin bend, you’ll see a beautiful terraced vineyard. Continue until you reach the D26.
(3) Take the D26 on the left to the Prat bridge (the first bridge you come to, on the right). Take care on this stretch of road. Cross the bridge over La Bourges.
(4) After the bridge, in the bend, a drovers' road (not shown on the map) heads straight ahead. Follow this for a few metres, then immediately take the path on the right, passing above the houses. Just before the Moulin du Prat, with its restored waterwheel in view, the path climbs to the left for a few metres. Ignore the wide path on the left leading to the hamlet of Le Prat; keep to the right to go round the mill at the top and then join the Chambons meadow path. Follow the river through the meadows back to the starting point (S/E).
