Description of the walk

Park in the car park of the multi-purpose hall on Rue du Stade.
(S/E) When leaving the car park, turn right until you reach the crossroads.

(1) Turn left onto Rue Charles Blanc and walk to the church.

(2) After the church, turn right onto Rue du Four, which continues onto Rue de la Fontenotte.

(3) At the bend, follow the dirt track on the right in front of the no entry sign. Follow the arrows and white-grey painted markings.

(4) At the fork, turn right to enter the woods and follow the painted signs.
The path runs between the D37 and the pond.

(5) After the pond, turn left and continue through the woods, following the painted arrows. At the bottom of the long descent (take care if the ground is wet), turn left to return to the fork you passed on the way out.

(4) Return via the same route you took on the way there.

(2) Make a small detour to the right at the church to see two wash houses. Retrace your steps and return to the car park (S/E).

A route that is suitable for families. My husband and I completed it in less than an hour without rushing, and the walk is varied. For the descent, which is very steep, it is best to wear appropriate footwear to avoid slipping. Otherwise, it's great

A pleasant walk in the shade, with a section along a stream, ideal when it's very hot. I can confirm that the descent is quite steep and must be a real slide when it rains. This short circuit is really nice

A lovely little walk, thankfully shaded as it was very hot. Worth doing again in autumn when the water will be flowing in the stream again, but on the downside, the descent will be perilous, so sturdy footwear and walking sticks are recommended.

For your information, this trail is called "The Werewolf Trail" - In December 1573, Gilles Garnier, transformed into a werewolf, was suspected of killing four children on the outskirts of nearby villages. He was arrested at the Saint Bonnot hermitage, located along the trail in the heart of the forest.
A beautiful walk, mostly shaded.
Well marked, impossible to get lost.
It's a shame that Philippe didn't highlight the hike enough in his description.

Superb hike, lots to discover along the route, beautiful forest, nice little spot to rest between the old mill and the pond north of the water.
Our three-and-a-half-year-old daughter had a great time.
The description doesn't do the hike justice.

Very pleasant, even on a grey day! A small gorge with a pond, stream and ruins of a mill – absolutely delightful.

A very beautiful hike to do when the weather is nice, as the elevation changes are significant and can be slippery in the rain.
The path is very well marked and dotted with numerous information boards.
