Park next to the beautiful fountain, at the junction of the D102 and D112E. Markings: yellow, yellow-blue, white-red, with a large section unmarked.
(S/E) Set off along the D102 towards Trépot, keeping to the grassy verge. Immediately ignore the small tarmac road branching off to the left, continuing for about 500 metres along this quiet country road.
(1) Before reaching a small gravel area on the left, look out for the sign and the path that climbs the embankment for a return trip to the first dolmen.
(2) Return to the road and continue left until you reach the fountain and washhouse. Turn back to the gravelly area and turn right onto the stony path. It runs alongside the pasture and soon climbs into the woods. Immediately after, at a fork, carry on straight ahead (the right-hand path).
(3) Twenty metres further on, at the next fork, head up to the left this time, following the yellow markings.
(4) You’ll come across a GR® path (marked in white-red and yellow-blue) at a right angle; take this to the right. As you enter a fir forest, look out for the path leading off to the left towards the Gratteris viewpoint.
(5) Leave the viewpoint via the path on the left to rejoin the GR®. Head left for 150 metres, following the wooden boardwalks of the cyclo-cross course. A sign directs you to turn right, but do not take the first path you come to; continue for about fifty metres, then turn right onto the path marked by signposts, heading towards Trépot.
(6) You’ll come out onto the D112; follow it to the right and downhill. Shortly afterwards, as you come out of a bend, ignore the signposting and turn right onto the forest track, which is partly gravelled despite the Yellow Cross and Blue Cross. Soon, as you enter a fir forest, you’ll come to a fork; take the right-hand path.
(7) As you emerge from the fir forest, when you’re walking alongside sharp limestone pavement on your right, turn 90° to the left onto a narrow track. Caution! After crossing a few metres of moss-covered sharp limestone pavement, the path runs alongside a deep chasm. There’s no danger if you’re careful, but don’t let your children or your dog run ahead! You’ll reach a well-marked forest track which you take to the right, leaving the side paths on both sides behind to reach a fork you passed on the way out.
(3) Head up to the right again along the path you took on the way out to rejoin the GR®.
(4) But this time, turn left to join a small tarmac road.
(8) Head down to the left. At the start of the quarry, turn right onto the path that leads to another dolmen.
(9) Return to the previous junction.
(8) Carry on straight ahead along the tarmac road until you reach the arboretum, beautifully situated in the hollow of a lovely rocky sinkhole. Then continue uphill to the right and, at the nearby fork, head down to the left towards the Chapel of Saint-Maximin.
(10) Take the lovely sunken path on the left and cross the pasture to reach the fountain. (S/E)
