Start from the Bassin de la Courance car park, near the Villeneuve cemetery.
Yellow markings
(S/E) Make your way 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 running 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 steps on the right and pass under a stone arch. At the top, turn left, leaving the war memorial on your left, and you will come to a crossroads at the foot of a ruined keep.
No signposting
(1) Then head down Rue de la Tour to the left. At the stop sign, follow Rue de Villeneuve to the right. After about a hundred metres, turn left onto the Sentier de la Côte Ronde and head downhill.
(2) At the end of the tarmac, continue straight on along a narrow path which is cluttered with branches for the first few metres, enter the forest and wind your way uphill. At a three-way junction (forest plot no. 36), turn right. Keep heading south-east, ignore the faint tracks on either side and, shortly after a tree on the left bearing the number 37, you will reach a crossroads at the foot of a majestic oak tree (see photo).
(3) Then turn left, leaving the oak on your right, and you will immediately come out onto a hard-packed track. Follow this track to the left and downhill, ignore a path branching off to the left, cross a stream and come to a crossroads (signpost for the bridle path). Then turn left onto a wide gravel track and walk alongside a beautiful oak forest on the slope to your right.
(4) At the junction (footbridge on the left), continue straight ahead, following the stream on your left and then the Bassin de la Courance.
Yellow markings
At the end of the basin, turn left and follow the basin’s embankment. Cross the spillway via a wooden bridge, continue straight ahead and return to the car park (S/E).
