Walk down through the village of Ceyrat from north to south along Avenue Wilson. Cross the bridge and park just after it, in the small car park on the right-hand side of the road.
(S/E) Take the path heading westwards, alongside the Artière. In fact, on the map, the river is named the Ruisseau de Saint-Genès here, as it is its main tributary. Further on, cross the river via a bridge and continue along the left bank.
(1) Cross the river again via a footbridge. Continue once more along the right bank. You’ll notice a small waterfall. Ignore a path branching off to the left and carry on to the Dolmen de Samson.
(2) Immediately afterwards, cross the river again. On the other side, head uphill along a path which soon turns to the right. Continue along this path as it climbs up onto the plateau. It leads to a road which you follow to the small village of Berzet.
(3) You’ll come out onto the Route de Ceyrat. Turn right onto this road and ignore the side streets on either side until you leave the village.
(4) Turn right onto the road, the Chemin du Champ d’Issart. Ignore two (private) paths on the left. At the junction with another path, carry on straight ahead, then turn right onto the next path. Pass in front of the sewage treatment plant. At the fork, turn right. Further on, ignore a path on the left and carry on straight ahead.
(5) At the next junction, turn right and continue along this path, which goes round a small hill and leads out onto the Route de Berzet, the D133.
(6) Take the road to the right, then immediately turn right onto a path that runs alongside the road below. The path joins a small road and some houses. Continue to Avenue de la Châtaigneraie. Take this avenue to the right, then turn right again onto Avenue Wilson. Cross the bridge before returning to the starting point (S/E).
