Park in a small car park on the edge of the D53R3 at the start of a right-hand bend.
(S/E) Take the road on the right for 200 metres and follow the path on the right down into the woods, marked Liaison Tulle/Sédières. Continue along the river on your right for almost 2 kilometres.
(1) Turn onto the path on the right leading down into the woods until you reach a metal footbridge. Cross the Montane and follow the winding single track between the trees.
(2) Turn left onto a grassy path that will take you to the Tour waterfall (follow the yellow markings). A magnificent spot that is not to be missed...
(3) Turn around.
(2) Turn left towards "Le Bourg" and turn left at the fork, following the signs for "Tulle/Sédières" until you reach the road (D53E4).
(4) Follow the road straight ahead. At the rock known as "La Vierge des cascades" (The Virgin of the Waterfalls), walk across the stone bridge: you will be just above one of the Gimel waterfalls.
(5) Retrace your steps, turn left onto a small winding path with stone steps bordering the Montane. Continue down a metal staircase and continue straight ahead along the river.
You will come to a tarmac road. Turn left just before the thatched house and cross the river via the bridge. Then go up the alleyway and take the steps on your right to the church entrance. Turn right to cross the village, then turn left to reach the Rosary (viewpoint over Gimel-les-Cascades).
(6) From the Rosary, return to the road (D53E4), follow it to the left, and continue to the roundabout, which you will leave on your right.
(7) Continue a few metres on your left, then turn right towards a place called "Mars" and cross the hamlet. At a large stone house, turn left onto a wide descending path. Then go back up and turn left onto the road.
At the fork, keep right towards "Puy de Chadon". At the electricity pylon, stay on the right-hand path, then at the fork after the picnic tables, stay on the left-hand path. At the top of the hill, on your right, climb the embankment to reach the "Puy de Chadon" orientation table.
(8) Take the original path on your right and continue to the wooden barrier. Continue straight ahead on a path that leads into the Chadon forest.
(9) At the four-way intersection, continue straight ahead. At the fork, stay on the path on the right. Turn right and then immediately left at the next path. Then, at the end of the path, turn right, then left at the fork and left again at the next intersection to reach the end point (S/E).
