The Foingy springs, starting from Saint-Martin-d’Heuille

Start at the church in Saint-Martin-d’Heuille.

(S/E) Turn onto Rue de la Chaume, then follow the white-pebbled path to the hunters’ hut, about 2 km away.

(1) Leave the white path here, turning left past the hut. Take the dirt track that leads into the woods and follow it for about 800 m.

(2) At the junction of two paths, including the Chemin du Roy, turn right and carry on straight ahead for 600 m. A sign marked ‘Source’ points the way.

(3) Leave the path and head down to the left, due north, through the middle of the woods, into a hollow. You’ll reach the^first spring, which is very close by (100 m away). Another sign marked ‘Source’ points towards the second spring, to the north, about 70 m from the first.

(4) Retrace your steps back to the hunters’ hut.

(1) Cross the white track and take the dirt track opposite. Follow it straight on until you reach the edge of the woodland.

(5) Leave the woods and cross the field (communal path) towards Saint-Martin-d’Heuille. Follow the road that goes round the sports ground on the right, then take the main road on the right to reach the church at Saint-Martin-d’Heuille (S/E).
