The village of Reventin is located south of Vienne on the edge of the RN7.
Go to the centre of the village and park in the car park behind the church and near the cemetery. The hike starts from this car park.
(S/E) With your back to the church, leave the car park and take Rue des Écoles on the left.
Walk about 80 metres and turn right onto Rue des Fontaines.
Continue straight ahead and, after passing through a narrow passage between two houses, the road becomes a slightly uphill dirt track.
Continue straight ahead uphill, ignoring a path on the left, until you reach a cross on the left side of the path.
(1) At the cross, continue straight ahead uphill, taking the road opposite (Chemin de l'Aubressin). At the first crossroads, stay on this road, ignoring the road that branches off to the right.
(2) At this point, a dirt track appears on your right. Leave the road and take this track uphill. Stay on this track, continuing straight ahead and ignoring a track that branches off to the right.
When you reach a crossroads, turn right.
Continue uphill, passing an antenna on your left.
(3) You will reach an intersection with a hiking sign. Turn left towards Pont des Amoureux. Ignore a path branching off to the right and continue downhill.
(4) Cross the Pont des Amoureux and continue up the path opposite. The path leads to a tarmac road.
(5) Take this road on the left. After about 100 metres, take the dirt track on the left downhill.
Continue along this path, ignoring the paths that branch off to the left, until you reach a paved section (Chemin de Gerbole).
Ignore a road that branches off to the left and then, a few metres further on, another that branches off to the right, and continue straight ahead along Chemin de la Balme.
(6) At this junction, turn right onto Chemin de la Poipe.
You will reach the fence of a large stone building with bricked-up windows. Turn right, leaving the road, onto a dirt track that climbs uphill.
Continue straight ahead uphill, ignoring a path on the left and then another on the right, until you reach a tarmac road.
Walk about 50 metres along this tarmac section until you reach a fork in the road.
(7) At the fork, take a dirt track between the two tarmac roads, which is not very visible at first.
Continue along this path until you reach a tarmac road, Chemin de Brocatière, then a crossroads at a place called La Balme.
(8) Take Chemin des Chênes (the second road on the right at the crossroads).
The road quickly becomes a dirt track leading downhill.
Continue straight on Chemin du Flachet, ignoring the paths that branch off to the right and left. After a slight climb, you will reach the hamlet of Les Barres.
(9) At the hamlet, turn right onto the tarmac road running alongside the walls of the houses.
Ignore a road that branches off to the left and two paths that branch off to the right.
(10) At the third turn-off on the right, near a house with two life-size bison statues in the garden, leave the road and take a dirt track on the right.
Walk through the undergrowth.
At the first fork, stay on the left-hand path.
Then, about a hundred metres further on and at the next intersection, turn left again.
Continue straight ahead, ignoring a path on the right.
(11) You will reach a tarmac road and a hamlet.
Immediately leave the tarmac road and take a dirt track on the right.
Rejoin the tarmac road and continue straight ahead for about 100 metres.
The road then becomes a track again.
(12) Pass a cross on the left (Croix des Chasseurs) and continue straight ahead.
(3) Return to the Reventin church car park (S/E) via the same route you took on the way there.
