Park at the Maron crossroads, on the road from Clairlieu to Maron, on the right-hand side of the bend at the start of the descent to Maron.
(S/E) Cross the D92 (caution, busy road) to take the path just opposite, in the bend in the road. Follow it straight ahead, cross the Chaligny road, continue straight ahead on the path on the right until you reach a large crossroads.
(1). Turn left onto the path marked Chevalet Rouge. At the end of the path, turn right onto a pleasant trail, then at the next crossroads, turn right again and continue for about 200 metres.
(2) Shortly before the path climbs slightly, turn left onto a small track that leads directly to the Vierge de Chaligny crossroads, visible on a tree on the right as you leave the track.
(3) Facing four paths leading off in front of you, take thethird on the right uphill (no entry sign). Observation: the sign for Chaligny 45 min was missing on 26 October 2024.
(4) At this large crossroads, continue straight ahead and diagonally to the left onto the Chemin du Haut de la Taye (sign: "Chaligny 30 min"). After a pleasant walk through the undergrowth, the path reaches a wooded area and the view opens up onto the Moselle valley. The path soon leads to the Chaligny road at the foot of a calvary. Descend into Chaligny via Grande Rue, pass a street on your left and you will immediately come to another street on your right (Sentier des Vergers).
(5) Turn right onto this street (orange circle markings). After a short paved section, continue along the balcony above the Moselle valley and at the end, you will come to an uphill path.
(6) Take this path on the right and continue straight up, ignoring the paths branching off to the right or left.
(7) At the top, at a fork, leave the orange circle marked path that branches off to the right and continue straight ahead along a track that crosses a first clearing. Continue along this track to cross two more clearings at a place called Les Essarts. Then rejoin the path in the forest and follow it straight ahead to reach the Tranchée de Marie Chanois just before coming out onto the D92 (caution, busy road).
(8) On the other side of the road, look for a small path and take it. Cross the first path and continue straight ahead to reach a track.
(9) Follow it to the right to quickly reach the starting point (S/E).
