PLEASE NOTE! DO NOT PARK on Rue du Four à Pain, as all the adjacent plots are private; you must take the signposted dirt track and walk for about 300 metres to find an official car park (an update to the description would be welcome).
The walk is signposted with large blue arrows at points where the route is unclear. A few information boards are dotted along the route.

We went on this lovely little Sunday drive yesterday, but it was spoiled when we arrived back and discovered that one of our car’s tyres had been deliberately punctured (there was a mark on the sidewall). Parked on Route du Four à Pain, alongside an unfenced plot of land, it was in no way obstructing the passageway. We assume that its presence did not sit well with the owner of the land, or a local resident, who could have made their feelings known in a more sensible manner.
