The description is a little brief, but the GPS track is up to date. In addition, the hike is marked in yellow.
At point 5, I would say: at the crossroads, turn left towards Moulin du Peyroux and continue along this path, keeping to the right until you reach a wooden footbridge that crosses the Brézou. Go up opposite and then take the left-hand path at the crossroads. It turns left again. Follow it until you reach a wide track.
At 8, the path continues to the left BEFORE the road.
Thank you for sharing this

A pleasant hike without much difficulty. The start on the country road is a bit long, although there is little traffic. Then there are some lovely sections through the forest.
