(S/E) Take Rue de la Côte, opposite the town hall. After the last house and before entering the forest, enjoy the view of the village. Continue uphill.

You are now on the ridge trail. Here you will discover a viewpoint over Pimpierre à Bois de Champ, Roche de Pain de Poire (a sandstone conglomerate) and a jumble of rocks with a magnificent view of the valley and the Lorraine plateau on a clear day. In autumn, you will be enchanted by the holly trees adorned with red berries.
(6) You will come to a forest road (Chemin de la Paix et de la Liberté), which you take to the right. You will immediately see the Croix de Frésimont and continue to the crossroads of the Croix Thomas, which overlooks the Roche des Poires Sèches.
