The route starts on the D71 between Malrevers and Chaspinhac, at the Croix de Courbes, located at the entrance to the road leading to the hamlet of Riou du Puits.
(S/E) From Croix de Courbes, follow the D71 towards Le Puy-en-Velay for 300 metres. Be careful to walk on the hard shoulder.
(1) Before a bend, leave the D71 and turn left onto a path that leads to the village of La Blache. Cross the village and, at the top of a hill, take the road that climbs to your left (towards the rubbish bins). At the crossroads just after, go up the road on the left to pass to the right of the bread oven. Continue straight up the path.
At the edge of the woods, turn left onto the path and continue straight ahead. You can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Emblavez plain and the knoll.
(2) Just before the first house in the village of Chantres, turn right onto a stone-paved path that climbs between two hedges to an intersection.
(3) Turn completely left onto a wide carriageway. Continue straight ahead until you reach a road.
(4). Take this road on the left. At the next crossroads, turn right towards Condros, as indicated by a sign. Continue to a fork in the road with a path on the left.
(5) After the first house on the left of the road, turn left onto a path that goes downhill. Ignore two paths on your right and continue to a road. Turn left and continue for 150 metres.
(6) Immediately after the bend, take the path that climbs to the left, runs alongside the Bouchillou and leads to the village of Le Riou.
(7) In the village, pass to the left of the wash house, then turn left onto the main road through the village.
At the exit, leave the road and take a path on the right which widens and runs alongside two settling basins. Cross the hamlet of Riou du Puits to return to the starting point (S/E).
