Description of the walk

(S/E) Town hall or Place de l'Église in the commune of Val-Saint-Éloi.
Walk up through the village along Grande Rue, passing in front of the church.

(1) Turn right onto Rue de Provenchère.

(2) At the top of the hill, continue to the right on Chemin du Moulin.

(3) Continue to the right until you reach La Bannie (an old farm) and then the chapel of the same name.
Throughout the route, you will see yellow circle markings. Please note: ignore the one on your left in the middle of Chemin du Moulin and continue straight ahead on this forest path.

(4) Descend to the Chaumont farmhouse inn (there are a few dogs that may be running free).

(5) Go down the road on your right.

(6) When you reach a right-angle bend, continue straight ahead to leave the road.
Do not leave this path, which will then turn into a tarmac road and lead to the town hall (S/E).

An old fountain in the village decorated with a fresco painted by children.

A very pleasant route, shaded for most of the way. It would be easier to walk in the opposite direction, as it starts with a steep and fairly long hill.
Attractions: beautiful views of the surrounding countryside stretching as far as the Vosges and Jura mountains.

I would like to inform you that we have now done two hikes and it would be desirable to have markers at each intersection, which is not currently the case.
For example, at the two intersections in Trésilley in Haute-Saône.
For the Chatey hill, at the exit of the main road, the sign indicating to turn left is completely buried in the ground.
and the path leading up into the forest is impassable due to fallen trees.
It is impossible to follow the route properly and it is very poorly signposted when the path changes.
I think this problem at intersections needs to be addressed.

A short, easy hike with beautiful views of the mountains in the distance (towards the pylon), but be aware that the Chaumont farmhouse inn has closed after 30 years of business. Take care, as the yellow markings are very old (a few paint marks on trees) but still visible.

A lovely walk in the forest with a beautiful view.
The start begins with a relatively steep hill, which we found a little difficult to climb after lunch.
Thank you for this lovely hiking suggestion.

The route is a bit short, but it can easily be extended. Best done in weather that is not too hot. The terrain is quite open with too many tarmac sections. Best done in the low season.

A pleasant short walk through the woods with a view of the area at the end of the route, discovery of a small chapel.
The route is easy with a good climb at the beginning.
I recommend it.
