Start at the car park of the climbing site, at the foot of the Beauvoir water tower (municipality of Vouneuil-sous-Biard).
(S/E) At the foot of the cross, with your back to the car park, continue straight ahead along Chemin du Petit Beauvoir. Stay on this south-west facing path until you reach the section where it is surrounded by woods on the right and a large field on the left, then descends slightly while once again being surrounded by trees.
(1) There, turn right at the hairpin bend onto a path through the undergrowth that runs along a wall on your left, then follow the course of the Auxance. Stay on this path at the bottom of the valley, which passes a small spring on your right.
The path joins a wider track that descends to the left towards a tree plantation. Take this track to the right.
(2) The path joins a stone and white earth road, turn left. Pass the climbing spots on your right.
At the first fork, take the small path on the left closest to the Auxance. Follow this sometimes winding path through a small wood, then a small meadow and finally into a tree plantation. The path bends to the right to join a dirt road at a T-junction.
(3) Turn left at this junction and continue straight ahead.
At the fork, you can turn right or left; both paths rejoin shortly before the next crossroads.
(4) At the crossroads, take the path on the right and climb the hill.
At the top, continue along this path, ignoring the grassy path that branches off to the right. Follow the two bends to the right and then to the left.
Cross the tarmac road and continue straight ahead on the path that branches off slightly to the right.
(5) At the first crossroads, turn right. Once you reach the tarmac road in the residential area (Rue de Montauban), turn right and continue straight ahead to the starting point (S/E).
