(S/E) Departure from the forecourt of Saint-Julien Church. Take Rue de la Fontaine Saint-Julien to the wash house of the same name.
(1) At the wash house, take the path on the right, then the second right and continue along this path, climbing uphill to reach the Grands Moulins reservoirs.
(2). Take the road opposite, go around the hamlet of La Forêt, staying on this road which leads to an old drinking trough on the left.
(3) In front of the drinking trough, turn left twice in succession.
(4) At a four-way intersection, ignore the first path on the right, take the next one on the right and join the D73 road to cross it.
(5) At the end of the road, facing a thick hedge, turn 90° to the left and continue along this road. Join the road, taking care to take the next road on the left. When you reach the crossroads, head towards Thury to reach the hamlet of Panny. At the entrance to the hamlet, before the old pumping station, go up the street on the right towards Gemigny, then take the first street on the right and, at the big bend on the right, take the path on the left. This round trip path leads to the Boutaut spring and an old feudal mound (only traces remain).
(6) Turn around. Back in the hamlet, go down the street on the right and take the first path on the right, which passes in front of the old village wash house. Continue along this path, turning left at the next crossroads. At the top of this path, turn left and go down to a slightly wider path. At the crossroads, turn right, then take the first left to reach the D3 road. Cross carefully and take the small path that descends to the Moulery wash house.
(7) Continue heading south. Cross the D3 road again with caution, take the first path opposite and the next one on the left, cross the road again with caution and continue to reach a small road and turn right. At the second path on the left, leave the road and take the path that goes uphill.
(8) Then follow the edge of the Bois du Roichat forest until you reach a cross path.
(9) Turn left. Cross the woods, continuing straight ahead and ignoring all the paths on the right and left. The path widens slightly as it leaves the woods and becomes tarmac. Just before the stadium, turn right to follow the edge of the woods.
(10) Go straight across this crossroads and enter the area of the old underground quarries. It's a bit like a roller coaster! If you visit these quarries, watch out for rolling stones! Cross the road carefully and walk once to the right and once to the left.
(11) Leave the path and continue straight ahead on a small tarmac road which leads to the left around the hamlet of Grangette. Leave the road on the left which leads to Thury and, after the farm, take a path on the right which passes in front of the Puits des Champs.
(12) Turn right, take the road opposite at the end of the path, then the first left. Continue along this road until it joins another road, then turn left immediately at the crossroads onto the path. Descend to the D4 road.
(13) Cross carefully and turn right, then take the first path on the left, then the first path on the left again, which climbs up to the hamlet of Colangette.
(14) At the Carrouge crossroads, go straight on for about 700m. Cross the D3 road and continue straight ahead towards La Forêt.
(15) At the second bend, leave the road and take the path slightly to the left. Then turn into the first left towards the south-east, which will take you back to the starting point, ending with a short stretch of road (S/E).
