District:
Park in the car park at the top of the station (110 spaces). This car park is also accessible via the access road to Emmaüs.
(S/E) From the car park, take the road that runs alongside the railway line, stay on the road on this side of the tracks and turn left.
(1) After about 500 metres, take the pleasant path on the right, but be careful as it is not very visible. At the end of the path, you will see the end of Lac Saint-Félix.
(2) Turn right and go through the tunnel under the railway line.
When you reach the sign for 'Vaudrines', turn right towards Saint-André-le-Gaz, Étang de Refeuille. At the road, continue straight ahead, slightly to the right. At Rue Honoré de Balzac, first turn left then right.
(3) At the junction of Rue Mozart and Rue Chateaubriand, turn left and go up Rue Mozart (say hello to the llama in the park on the left as you pass). Take the dead-end road that leads to Étang Refeuille.
At the end of the pond, take the hill on the left and follow the road.
(4) At the crossroads, take the road on the left. At the bottom of the hill (after saying hello to the deer in the park on the left), take the road on the left towards the underpass beneath the motorway.
(5) Take the road on the right before the underpass (the path that branches off to the right along the Bourbre river leads to a dead end in the fields, contrary to what the IGN map seems to indicate). The road continues along a footpath.
(6) When you reach the sheep park on the left with a turret also on the left and the sign marked 'Château de Donnat', turn right onto the path signposted Saint-André-le-Gaz, Étang de Refeuille.
(7) When you reach the Fitilieu waste collection centre, follow the road to the right. At the next crossroads, after the bridge over the Bourbre, turn left and you will immediately see the Étang du Tapon (there is an alternative route that takes you along the path around the lake).
(8) A few hundred metres after the Étang du Tapon, take the second path on the right, just after another pond.
Follow this path, which passes between the pheasant aviaries, until you reach a crossroads near a calvary between Rue Alfred de Vigny and Rue Hector Berlioz. Turn left and, after 50 metres, take the street on the right (Rue Berthelot), which also passes between the aviaries.
(9) At the end of the street, turn right for a few metres, then take Rue Curie on the left and follow this street to the stop sign.
(10) Turn right. At the crossroads opposite the railway line, veer to the right as if to take the road, but look out for the slightly hidden underpass that goes under the tracks and take it.
After the stairs, you will find yourself back on the road you started on. Turn left and walk in the opposite direction to reach the station car park (S/E).
