The starting point is in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert in the Place Tabagnon car park.
(S/E) Head towards the Loire and go down the steps to reach the Promenade du Guittay.
Follow the banks of the Loire until you see a sign for "Loire nature", then turn right and continue straight ahead at the Y-junction to follow the Loire.
(1) Cross the bridge over the Ruisseau de Chazelon and continue to the Ruisseau d'Asnières.
(2) Follow it on the left, pass the cross and turn right at Montée de Rousset. After passing a hut on the left-hand side, you will come to a Y-shaped intersection of paths.
(3) Turn right, go under the bridge and then walk along the Loire at a higher level.
(4) Go through a tunnel and you will see the Grangent Dam.
(5) Take the stairs on the left to reach the dam road, turn left and follow it for a few metres. Then take the path on the right, rejoin the road and follow it to the right along the paved path to a car park with tourist signs.
(6) Turn right onto the path to admire the view of the Loire Gorges, follow the path back to the road and walk along it for a few dozen metres.
(7) Turn left onto the path with a bench that descends towards the castle. At the fork, turn left and continue down towards the castle, then climb back up following the path that joins the D25.
(8) Cross carefully to take the Sentier des Flachats opposite and arrive at a fork.
(9) Turn left and stay on the path along the banks of the Loire, which will take you back to the intersection you passed on the way out.
