Description of the walk

Park at the entrance to Parc de la Bouzaise.

(S/E) Enter the park through the main entrance and walk along the left side of the pond. At the end of the pond, turn right to find the exit at the far end.

(1) Turn left onto Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, then keep left at the fork to reach a four-way intersection near the hamlet of Les Teurons.

(2) Take Chemin des Cras opposite. Ignore the path on the right, which will be the return route, and continue straight ahead uphill to reach the two enormous reservoirs visible from below. Turn right, still uphill, onto Chemin des Vaches and after 300 metres you will reach the Terre d'Or lodge in a bend.

(3) Continue along the path that turns left. Cross a footpath and then a road and shortly afterwards, without changing direction, enter between two stone walls. Turn immediately right after the wall, walk along the property and follow the path that turns left to reach a four-way crossroads in the pine forest.
Turn right and walk along the Mondes Rondes lawn to the end of the lane.

(4) Turn left and then quickly right at the fork. Continue, keeping to the left at each junction until you reach Chemin du Ciel. After 200 metres, turn left at the fork and join another path (Chemin de la Petite Châtelaine). Turn right and then immediately left until you reach Allée des Pins Brûlés.

(5) Take this lane on the right and after 50 metres, continue in the same direction, leaving the lane that turns right. Continue straight ahead towards the north and stay on this peripheral path, ignoring several paths that branch off to the right until you reach a four-way junction near a forestry information sign.

(6) Continue straight ahead, heading west, along the same path, whichinitially heads south before turning left. Pass two paths on the right. Continue straight ahead at the first crossroads, then keep right at the next one until you reach another four-way crossroads in a clearing.

(7) Turn right and stay on the path until you reach Rue Vaillant. After 150 metres of slight uphill walking, you will reach a fork in the road at the hamlet of Les Bressandes.

(8) Turn left onto Chemin du Dessus des Bressandes and descend towards the town. Leave the path leading to Notre-Dame de la Libération on your right and continue straight ahead to the end of the path.

(9) Turn left and walk 100 metres downhill, then turn right up Rue Charles Rollet. Next, turn left onto Rue Monnot and continue in the same direction to reach Carrefour des Teurons.

(2) Take Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin to return to Parc de la Bouzaise.

(1) Enter the park by turning right and retrace your steps to return to the car park where you started (S/E).

Very beautiful route, very surprising to be in a pine forest when you reach the top of the mountain. It's almost like Provence, only the cicadas are missing.
At point 8, be careful: the sign for the path above Bressandes has been almost completely faded by the sun, and there is also a dead-end sign, which is misleading. Use the app, which is very helpful.

Hello
There is just a small change to the route at the end of the mountain, but simply follow the yellow markings and you will be fine.
You could also mention in the description that the route is marked in yellow and very clearly.
Happy hiking!

Nice route: very pretty park and the part of the mountain in the woods is enjoyable.
Not recommended in hot weather as there are many roads and stones - risk of encountering snakes. Without the app and just with the description, it would be a bit tricky.
We really enjoyed the little stand selling cold drinks in the park at the finish line.

We sometimes had difficulty finding the right path, especially in the forest, and there was a lot of tarmac on this hike, so it was a bit disappointing.

The route was well marked, and even though I was alone with just the description, I didn't get lost! I was surprised that the route was slightly different from the markings!

When I climbed Beaune Mountain, I expected to see a panoramic view. Nothing, just pine trees, which are nice and shady, but no view, except when you reach the vineyards. Not very interesting, two-thirds of the way along old or small tarmac roads.

I was confused by the name of the route, which has an almost identical twin. In my research, I always hesitated between the two names.
