Park at Place de l’Église.
(S/E) Cross the D792 to reach Place de Martray.
(1) Continue straight ahead and take the D60. Pass the Hôtel Sevoy and arrive at the embankment.
(2) Take the path on the left along the embankment. At the end of the embankment, turn right onto the D52 until you reach the Sports et Nature car park. At the car park entrance, follow the path to the footbridge on the fishing trail.
(3) Turn left onto the path that climbs back up to the D52 road.
(4) Cross the road and take the path opposite. At the edge of the woods, at the junction, follow the mountain bike route. Head towards the wayside shrine at the entrance to Saint-Maudez.

(6) Take this path, leaving the mountain bike trail markings, and head for the right bank of the Étang de Jugon.
(7) Follow the lake, leaving it at the junction to take the hiking trail on the right. At the junction of the mountain bike and walking trails, leave the mountain bike route on your right and take the small path going uphill on the left opposite. You will reach the road.
(8) Turn right and head down to the lake. Continue left along the edge of the stream feeding into the lake. You’ll reach another junction.

- take the short 13 km route: to do this, cross the small wooden bridge, then turn right and follow the lakeshore back. Inaccessible in wet weather (at the far end of the lake).

On leaving the village, 100 m ahead, there is a chapel and a ‘sacred’ oak tree that is well worth a detour.
