Description of the walk

(S/E) From the starting sign opposite the bar-restaurant, turn right towards Bussières. Then take the first left and pass a wash house fountain.

(1) Continue to La Tounolle.

(2) Turn left just before the bend and continue along the path that runs alongside the stream. The path turns into a dirt track as you enter the woods. Ignore the first line of trees and continue to the second.

(3) Head up to the right to the summit.

(4) Continue left along the top of the hill until you reach a logging landing and carry straight on along the small forest track. You will come to a crossroads.

(5) Turn left onto the forest track which descends and joins the stream.

(6) Follow the fishermen’s path to the left, which leads to a wooden footbridge over the stream. Cross the bridge, then climb the stairs to reach the old railway line. Continue left along the railway track to the Boulot cemetery and Rue de la Graviolle.

(7) Turn left onto Rue de la Graviolle and head towards Grande Rue. Carry straight on to reach the Boulot wash house and its church.

(8) Continue on to the square and the car park. (S/E)

SUPER, very easy, except for a difficult slippery climb shortly after the start, but very short, otherwise ideal with its shade, its dreamlike setting along the stream, very well marked
All in all, I recommend this route, despite the difficulty mentioned above, which in my opinion could be easily remedied by installing steps similar to those leading to the old railway track from the footbridge over the stream.
