Park in Chuzelles in the large car park behind the school, on Rue des Bourrelières.
(S/E) Take Rue des Bourrelières towards the D36; once you reach the D36, turn left and stay on the left-hand pavement for about a hundred metres. Cross at the pedestrian crossing and take Chemin des Poyardes; at the end of this path, you’ll reach a crossroads of footpaths.
(1) Turn left into the small lane to reach the Saint-Maurice housing estate. At the end of the lane, veer slightly right and cross the estate, staying on the main road, then continue straight on to the end of Rue Saint-Maurice.
After a short descent at the end of Rue Saint-Maurice, turn right onto Route de Montferrat Recours. Continue along the road, skirting the meadow on your left until you reach the junction with Chemin des Rivoires.
(2) Turn right onto it. Continue left along the tarmac Chemin du Brenier to the last house. Stay on the path that follows it to reach the end of the Combe du Roi.
(3) Leave the path on your right and head down to the bottom of the valley, cross the stream and climb straight up into the woods along the main stony path. Then ignore the path branching off to the left and climb up to the four-way junction at the top of the plateau.
(4) Turn 90° to the left, continue to a three-way junction with three possible directions. Take the left-hand path and continue along the main track. You will come to another three-way junction.
(5) Take the left-hand path, begin the descent, and follow several hairpin bends to reach the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Limon.
(6) Head back up the path in the opposite direction to return to the previous junction.
(5) Turn left, continue through the woods; at thefirst crossroads, carry on straight ahead to reach the hamlet of Simontière.
(7) Enter the Bois de Saint-Jean again straight ahead, and continue until you reach the four-way junction you passed on the way out.
(4) Turn left, cross a small stream further on, then come to another junction at another stream.
(8) Take the path on the right, still in the woods, to emerge once more at the edge of the woods at a crossroads.
(9) Turn right, follow the edge of the woods and then, shortly afterwards, the edge of the woodland. Continue along the edge of the woods by turning right. Then carry on across the fields. Reach another edge of the woods, continue into the woods and come to a new four-way crossroads at a place called Les Rivoires.
(10) Turn left at a 90° angle, pass under the power lines, rejoin a path south of the hamlet of Poyardes, then reach the initial crossroads, ::1;;, which you passed on the way out.
(1) Follow the same route as on the way out and return to the car park behind the school in Chuzelles (S/E).
