(1) Take the small, barely visible path that leads left into the thicket, first along the edge of the forest and then under cover, until you reach the Beaume Haie stream. Cross the stream. After 100 metres, turn right.
(2) You will come to a crossroads. Turn right and follow the wide, straight path markedGR®5in red and white, which leads out of the forest and to the first houses in Pagny-sur-Moselle. Turn left onto Rue de Baulans, which climbs up to a right-hand bend.

(8) Return to the path, begin the descent and, after two hairpin bends, you will reach the crossroads you took earlier.
(2) Take the wide track straight ahead, staying in the forest. Climb slowly towards the plateau along the Beaume stream to reach its source. Then follow the Grande Côte until you reach the edge of the forest.
(9) Walk along the forest for about 500 metres until you reach the crossroads with the large dirt track.
(10) Turn right for a round trip to the large La Grange en Haye farm, visible from afar.

(13) Turn left onto a small tarmac road at Les Chadenets and climb until you reach the metal sculpture in the field on the left.
