A short walk through the Chestrolaise countryside

No dedicated car park; you can park at the entrance to the farm track where it crosses Rue La Chehée, on the way out of Grandvoir towards Rossart.

(S/E) Head north-east towards the Grandvoir manor farm. Ignore the road on the left and carry on straight ahead. Walk past the manor farm, which has been converted into a brewery and a hotel-restaurant. Cross over the River La Rosière. Keep to the right at the^first junction and turn left at the next Fork in the road.

(1) When you reach the Ferme du Grand Enclos, turn left onto the uphill farm track. Follow the track and enjoy the unobstructed view of the countryside. Cross the road carefully and carry on straight ahead.

Signposting: Red Triangle and Red Rectangle

(2) At the crossroads by another farm, at a place called Lôhièpré with a sign for the Sentier des Artisans, turn left. Walk alongside the woodland. At the next crossroads, head left and then walk alongside the meadows.

(3) At the road, in the hamlet of Fineuse, where there is a sign for the Sentier des Artisans, turn right onto the road. Keep to the left at the Fork in the road and head downhill. Ignore the path on the right running alongside the river in the hamlet of Moulin de Gué Lahérie. There is also a sign for the Sentier des Artisans here. Cross over the River Rosière. Walk back up the road and past the hotel-restaurant. Continue to follow the road, ignoring any paths branching off to your right.

(4) At the fork in the road with a dirt track, turn right – not onto the forest track leading into the woods, but onto the dirt track between the meadows and woodland. At the end of the track, at a place called Forêt de Huqueni, turn left. Walk carefully alongside the busy road for approximately 200 metres, leaving the^{first track}leading into the woods on your right.

(5) Take the next path on your right. You’ll come to another path; continue straight on until you reach a track. The signposting ends here.

No signposting

(6) At the junction with the Route des Forges, at a place called Chemin de Fer with a sign for the Sentier des Artisans, turn right. Walk downhill to a stream.

(7) Do not cross the stream but turn left onto the path running alongside it. The path becomes a track and runs some distance alongside the Pré du Foi stream until it reaches the road.

(8) At the road, turn left and head uphill to the hamlet of La Holière. The signposting resumes.
