(S/E) With your back to the Lavoir, turn right and walk along the old ramparts running alongside the departmental road, passing the Trou de la Vergogne and then the Portail du Midi. Continue towards the hamlet of Intras, until you reach the junction near the school.

(2) Turn right again to pass between a few houses belonging to the Reynauds, then join a dirt track on the left.
Further on, you’ll reach a small road; follow it to the left until you reach the crossroads.

(5) Then take the tarmac road on your right, then turn right again onto the D 263 towards Valvignères. Cross the small bridge over the Ruisseau Péreyrol.
