(S/E) Head towards the centre of the village via Rue du Stade and join the junction with the D31. Don't miss the wash house just before it.
(1) Follow the main road to the right for a few dozen metres, then take the street on the right, Chemin du Paquis, which becomes a path in the forest. Continue straight ahead until you come to a wide crossroads. Turn left and follow this path parallel to the four-lane road.
(2) Admire the view of the Dame Blanche hill and the surrounding villages. Continue straight ahead to Le Vernois. At the crossroads, go straight ahead to reach the Buthiers pond, a nature reserve where many water birds come to spend the winter. Go past the pond for a good hundred metres.
(3) Turn left onto Rue de l'Abreuvoir, cross the bridge over the Buthiers and turn left to stop in front of the Château de Buthiers (17th century).
(4) Retrace your steps towards the river but turn left without crossing the bridge to go around the castle grounds via Rue du Moulin. At the crossroads, walk a few metres to the left to see the wash house.
(5) Return to the crossroads and continue left towards the church.
(6) At the church, go to the entrance and don't forget to turn around to enjoy the view of the castle grounds and its magnificent trees. Go past the church and turn right onto Rue de l'Église to make your first detour to the Ognon.
(7) Once on the bridge, turn back and turn right before the church. Continue right at the crossroads, taking Rue de la Mairie, and pass the town hall on your right. Keep right at the three-way junction and continue to the bend in the Ognon, where you can fish.
(8) Turn left onto the path, then turn left at a 90° angle at the corner of the field to rejoin the D31. Then turn right and proceed with caution along the road.
(1) Continue straight ahead, leaving the departmental road at the bend to follow Rue du Stade opposite, which leads directly to the school and the starting car park (S/E).
