Departure from the Bassin de la Courance car park, near the Villeneuve cemetery.
Yellow markings
(S/E) Go to the top of the car park, exit via a cycle path and cross the small access road to the car park. Turn left (south) and follow the cycle path parallel to the road. At the stop sign, leave the cycle path, turn left and enter the village. At the foot of the church, climb the stairs on the right and pass under a stone arch. At the top, turn left, leave the war memorial on your left and you will come to a crossroads at the foot of a ruined keep.
No signposts
(1) Then descend to the left along Rue de la Tour. At the stop sign, turn right onto Rue de Villeneuve. After about 100 metres, turn left onto Sentier de la Côte Ronde and descend.
(2) At the end of the tarmac road, continue straight ahead on a narrow path that is overgrown with branches for the first few metres, enter the forest and climb up the winding path. At a three-way junction (forest plot no. 36), turn right. Keep heading south-east, ignore the vague tracks on either side and, shortly after a tree on the left marked with the number 37, you will come to a crossroads at the foot of a majestic oak tree (see photo).
(3) Turn left, leaving the oak tree on your right, and you will immediately come to a stabilised path. Follow this path to the left and downhill, ignore a path on the left, cross a stream and you will come to a crossroads (riding path signpost). Then take a wide gravel path on the left and walk alongside a beautiful oak forest on the slope on your right.
(4) At the crossroads (footbridge on the left), continue straight ahead, walking along the stream on your left and then the Bassin de la Courance.
Yellow markings
At the end of the basin, turn left and take the basin dyke. Cross the weir on a wooden bridge, continue straight ahead and return to the car park (S/E).
