Departure from Mignovillard (Jura)
Starting from the centre of Mignovillard, this circular route gradually takes you through farmland and then the wooded areas to the south-east of the village. It first reaches the Croix au Maréchal, an old stone cross standing alone amongst meadows and woods, situated at a former crossroads. The route continues towards the restored oratory of Notre-Dame-du-Moru, then crosses the Moru area, a reminder of a former hamlet of farmhouses that has now disappeared. The return journey takes you via La Pettouse, first overlooking and then skirting the limestone aggregate quarry. Rural landscapes, woodland and traces of local history give this circular walk a very distinctive character.
