Green markings
(S/E) With your back to the information board, take the road opposite. Pass in front of the hotel and turn into the first path on the right. Stay on this good path until you reach the crossroads near the Moulin de la Lussière.
(1) Turn right onto the tarmac road and walk through part of the hamlet of La Lussière and its troglodytic outbuildings. Turn left at the corner of No. 26 to admire some abandoned underground shelters on your left. The path turns right in front of No. 28 and continues slightly downhill to the left between low stone walls.
Join Chemin des Doigts and follow it to the right until you reach the crossroads. Turn right onto Chemin des Elfes and then left 20 metres further on onto Chemin du Dolmen.
Further on, ignore a path that leads into the woods on the left, then another one shortly after. The path loses its surface after No. 4, crosses a copse and joins a picnic area with the Dolmen de la Bajoulière on the left.
(2) Return to the path and follow it to the left for a few metres. At the crossroads, turn right and after about 100 metres, the path suddenly changes from ochre to grey and arrives at a crossroads.
(3) Turn left into the forest, then along the edge, and you will reach a crossroads.
(4) Continue straight ahead and look for the Pierre de Nézan on your left. Continue for a few metres and turn right. Follow this path, ignoring the other less visible tracks, and you will arrive at the D356. Cross the road and take the path opposite to reach Cumeray.
(5) Turn right onto the tarmac road, cross the D356 again and continue straight ahead along the path.
(6) When you reach a tarmac road, turn left, cross the D751 and continue straight ahead on the path. At the first crossroads, turn right at a right angle, do not take the path that goes further to the right (not marked on the map).
Shortly afterwards, on your right, you will see a small ochre quarry. Continue along the main path, leaving small tracks on either side (probably mountain bike or motocross routes, as they are not marked on the map).
The path then becomes a narrow grassy track. Turn right onto a path and join a tarmac road. Turn left and head towards a mission cross.
(7) Leave the marked trail for a moment to make a round trip to the Priory of Saint-Georges-des-Sept-Voies.
(8) Return to the crossroads at the mission cross.
(7) Continue along the path that branches off to the left. At the end of the field, turn left despite the green cross and continue between the cultivated fields. Continue straight ahead at the next crossroads and rejoin the marked trail. 300 metres further on, turn right then left to find a tarmac road.
(9) Cross the road and continue straight ahead, passing a path on the right and then another on the left. The path slopes to the right, runs alongside a wood and reaches a crossroads.
(10) Turn right onto the right path and 200 metres further on, leave it and turn right. At the next intersection, continue straight ahead. Ignore the next path on the left and after a right-hand bend, you will reach the tarmac road. Turn left and you will soon reach a star-shaped crossroads.
(11) Continue straight ahead on the road, then leave it after 20 metres to follow the path that branches off to the left alongside a house. Further on, it turns into a sunken path, which is likely to be very muddy in wet weather.
Back across the fields, you can see the aerial part of the Hélice Terrestre on your left. Continue along the path until you reach a tarmac road.
(12) Turn right onto the road, then leave it after 100 metres and turn left onto a path through the fields. At the end of the path, turn right, then left at the Bastière houses.
At the next crossroads, turn right and you will soon reach the D751. Cross it (take care) and follow it to the left for 30 metres, leaving the green markings behind for a moment and not continuing straight on along the road that leads to the mill.
(13) Turn right onto the small road and look left to see the beautiful Gaigné wash house. Continue towards the hamlet, turn left and take the first path on the right. After 400 metres, turn right and walk up towards the houses. After a few steps on the right, you will come to the junction you took on the way there.
(1) Take the path opposite and follow the same route as on the way there to return to the car park (S/E).
