It was a bit of a short walk for our group, and we were in the sun the whole time. But at point 4, we headed towards the Bois de Mont farm. From there, you can turn right and then right again to rejoin the route.

To make things a bit more challenging at the Bois de Mont farm and enjoy the woodland, we carried on straight along the GR 127-145. Just before the stony path, we turned right into the ravine to head back towards Servin. You can take this route in very dry weather, but you often have to climb over or crawl under trees. Great fun for daredevils!!
