Start from the car park at the exit of the village of La Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar on the edge of the D480 opposite the Les Marines campsite.
(S/E) From the car park, return to the village, staying on the main road. Pass the post office and follow the bend to the La Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar signpost.
(1) Continue along the same road, cross the bridge and take the first road on the left towards the church. Pass the church and the cemetery, then take the first path on the left 50 metres further on. The path climbs steeply into the woods and then runs alongside the tree-top adventure park. It comes out onto the road at the entrance to a bend. Follow the road and 20 metres after the bend, look for the inconspicuous entrance to the path. Go back up into the woods and turn left at the next junction.
Join the road again and follow it to the left to the Portes car park; then cross the hamlet.
(2) 100 metres after the last house (thatched roof), leave the road and follow the path on the left which descends towards the stream. Continue to the pretty stone bridge. Continue straight ahead without crossing the stream and follow the left bank along the protective barriers.
Then take the stairs down, cross the footbridge and go up to the right, following the other bank for a while until you reach the crossroads.
(3) Turn left towards the chapel. Follow the path, which alternates between ascents and descents, taking care as there are no longer any protective barriers.
As you approach the village, the path slopes to the left and descends more steeply to reach the Chapelle (les Oulles) marker. Turn left in front of the house to reach a street. First turn right then left to reach the main road that crosses the village.
Turn right onto the road to reach the car park (S/E).
. Best done on dry ground.
