Go to the roundabout, locate the village hall, and take the Serre les Sapins road towards Franois. Cross the D75 bridge; the car park is a few metres to the left.
(S/E) A cycle route sign indicating Besançon, Tilleroyes 2.6km marks the start of the walk. Take the D75 to the junction with the tarmac road leading to the Forêt de la Ménère.
(1) Take this road on the right and follow it until you reach a four-way crossroads.
(2) Take the path opposite, leave the woods and you will come to an isolated house.
(3) Turn left after the house and walk past the Chaille equestrian centre. Continue on and walk past the waste collection centre, then keep an eye out for a small tunnel a few dozen metres ahead on the left.
(4) Go through it and climb up into the woods. You will come to some houses, and the Pouilley-les-Vignes road sign is on the left. Then, keep to the right and join the main D75 Rue de Lausanne road.
(5) Cross it and head left for a few metres, then climb slightly to your right near the Chalet bar. Follow the road for about 800 metres along Rue du Tillot. You will come to a sharp bend on the right. Continue along the road and keep an eye on your left. Near a grassy area, a dirt track leads into the woods with a steep climb.
(6) Take this path and continue straight ahead until you reach the houses. You will see a round stone house on your left. Continue for a few metres, then turn left onto a farm track that leads to a cross by the side of the road.
(7) Follow this quiet road until you reach the stop sign on Route de Miserey (D465). You will see a barrier on your left that prevents traffic from entering the woods.
(8) Take this forest track, walk past some old batteries and you will come to a gravel esplanade which serves as a car park.
(9) Turn right onto Chemin des Batteries and continue to the orientation table. To do this, take the path on the left that descends into the woods to reach Rue des Vignes.
(10) Go down Rue des Vignes on the right, then turn left at the fountain. Continue for 100 metres and turn left, past the green barriers, onto the small wooded path.
(11) Cross the Route de Miserey and turn into Rue des Marronniers. You will see the old school complex on your right, then you will come to a roundabout. Continue straight ahead along Rue de Serre until you reach the traffic lights.
(12) Take the alley opposite and go down it. Turn 90° left, using the wash house opposite as a landmark. Continue along Rue des Tilleroyes. Go straight ahead and enter the woods until you reach a tunnel. Go through it and you will find yourself back at the original crossroads.
(1) Turn right and follow the same route you took on the way there to return to the car park (S/E).
