Park in the stadium car park on Rue de Méginand in Saint-Genis-les-Ollières.
(S/E) Continue along Rue de Méginand and go around the car park on the right until you reach the stadium gate. Take the path on the left. You will soon be walking alongside the Méginand stream on your right.
(1) About 300 metres after the start of the path, you will arrive at the educational pond. Continue for about 100 metres on the path that climbs alongside the street. Cross it and continue on the path opposite. The Ribes stream is visible. This is a rather bucolic part of the route.
(2) When you can no longer continue straight ahead, follow the path down to the left, then walk along the Ribes stream for about 200 metres. Leave the stone bridge on your left, turn right and you will arrive at Rue Louis Pradel.
(3) Cross it carefully, turn to reach the pavement opposite and walk down the street for about 20 metres before climbing up a path on the right. (Starting point if arriving by bus 72).
This path leads to Rue des Mourrons. Follow it, pass the cemetery, then turn left to go down Rue de la Vallée. Please note that the yellow markings are not very visible in this direction at this fork.
(4) Then follow Allée du Tabagnon, which runs alongside Ruisseau du Ratier and continues along a path.
(5) After about 600 metres, a hiking signpost indicates the arrival at the Ratier stream. Continue along the stream. Go back up to Rue André Sartoretti, follow it to the right, then turn into the first street on the left.
(6) At the signpost indicating "Chemin de la Rize", continue straight on Rue Louis Gayet until you reach the "La Vuldy" signpost.
(7) At Vuldy, follow the signs for Monts d'Or by turning right onto Avenue Marcel Mérieux, then left onto Rue des Monts d'Or. Continue along this winding street until you reach the sign for "Monts d'Or".
(8) Turn right onto Rue du Vorlat, then left onto Rue Bel Air. The street turns into a path. At the end of the path, turn right. After 100 metres, turn left onto the path signposted for hikers towards the stadium.
Then, at the end, turn left onto the main street (Rue Georges Kayser). After about 350 metres, turn left onto Rue de Méginand.
There are picnic tables on the right.
At the end of the street on the right is the car park where you started (S/E).
