Parking opposite the Rente des Bons Pasteurs (former Minimes sanatorium, then psychotherapy centre, now apartments).
Access: coming from Dijon on the A38, exit at Velars, cross the motorway bridge, head towards Corcelles, then at the next crossroads (traffic lights) turn right and take the second street on the left towards Notre Dame d'Étang.
Drive uphill for about 1.2 km.
When you reach the flat section, turn left and park on the left.
(S/E) Head south on the white path that branches off to the left for 500 metres.
Leave the white road and turn right onto the path that climbs steeply to the Fontaine Sainte-Anne.
(1) Take the path heading south and join the white path, which is the Route Forestière (RF) de la Roche à l'Oiseau. Continue straight ahead until you reach a crossroads.
(2) Leave the RF and take the path on the right that climbs diagonally, following the contour line. You will reach the junction with theGR®7.
(3) Turn right. Stay on the ridge from start to finish. The path gradually widens until it reaches the junction with the path leading to Notre-Dame d'Étang. This is also the paragliding take-off area, accessible by car.
(4) Leave theGR® here and continue straight ahead to reach the foot and rear of Notre-Dame d'Étang.
Then go around it on the right to admire it from the front.
(5) Take the path to the north opposite the statue, which leads to a white road.
(6) Make a round trip to the right (50m) to the Croix de Minimes.
Then descend the white path to return to the starting point (S/E).
