Departure from the car park in front of the town hall in Chambon-sur-Voueize.
Yellow markings then yellow C4 markings.
(S/E) From the Tourist Office, just behind the town hall (Place Aubergier), take Rue de la Place Aubergier, then turn left onto Rue des Forts. At the end of this street, turn right onto Route de Lépaud. Follow this road for about 200 metres. The river is on your left.
(1) Leave the D917, taking the small road that descends to the left. Follow this road, which first passes in front of an old electricity-producing mill, "le Moulin Girardy", then through abandoned industrial buildings.
(2) The road turns into a path that varies in width depending on the location. This path, which runs through the woods, follows the river and only deviates from it once before quickly rejoining it. Then follow a left-hand bend; continue for about 150 metres and you will find a discreet path starting on the right.
(3) Take this path, which climbs steeply (very steeply). It widens between two meadows.
(4) Leave the farm on your right and continue along the road slightly to the left until you reach the stop sign. Be careful, the D917 is quite busy. Turn right and follow the road for about 600 metres.
(5) Turn onto the first path on the left, which leads to a very small road. Head towards the hamlet of Longeville, whose houses can be seen on the left.
(6) At the first house, continue to the right, following the PR® sign. The path leads to a crossroads with the D41, which you cross towards La Budelière via the D41A2. Stay on this road for 200 metres.
(7) Turn right onto the first path (marked white-red and yellow) and follow it straight ahead to the end.
(8) At the end of the path, cross the road, enter the housing estate and continue straight ahead downhill. The small road turns into a path in a left-hand bend.
(9) Cross the road again and take Grand Rue du Puy. This road turns right and overlooks the abbey church and the roofs of the village. Then take the first left, which will bring you back to Route de Lépaud. Take Rue des Forts to return to the starting point (S/E).
