Description of the walk

Park at the Place de l’Ancienne École on Rue du Crépenot in Médière.

(S/E) Turn right onto Rue du Crépenot and continue to the junction at the end of this tarmac road.

(1) Turn right and take the fairly wide path that climbs up alongside the Coteau Jean Blanc. At the top, you’ll reach a right-angled junction in the Bois des Breules.

(2) Keep to the right on this wide track until you reach another junction at the end of the track.

(3) Turn sharply 90° to the right onto the track, which alternates between woodland and fields and joins the tarmac road at the entrance to Médière. Continue along this road, passing the cemetery, then walk round the church to return to the car park at the Place de l’Ancienne École (S/E).

A short walk with little elevation gain, suitable for people our age… a bit more than on that particular day, but manageable…

⚑Departure from Montenois (Doubs)
This is a good family walk to do outside of flood season, as the area along the Doubs river would not be passable. Apart from one or two poorly marked spots, the route is easy to follow, winding through fields and undergrowth. Most of the time, the paths are well marked (used by tractors) and widely accessible by mountain bike.

⚑Departure from Lanthenans (Doubs)
This country walk starts in Lanthenans, a small village in the Comté region hidden away in the countryside, and takes you over hills and through valleys to the Roche du Châtelard viewpoint overlooking Lomont and the Doubs valley. The return route takes you through airy woods, which Marcel Aymé might have described as "the forest is still a little bit of paradise lost. God did not want the first garden to be wiped out by the first sin."

A lovely little walk with several possible starting points (the one suggested here, or from the village of Sainte-Marie to follow the signposts) and several different routes. A pleasant mix of countryside and woodland, particularly lovely in early spring, for example.
