Walk in Viverols

Park on Place de la Mairie, in the car park between the town hall and the church.

(S/E) Take the cobbled street that leaves from the left of the church, towards the château. At the intersection, continue straight ahead along the Montée du Château. Further up, at the fork in the path, follow the grassy path on the right, then take the few steps up to the left and continue to the foot of the castle. Notice the beautiful tree, then turn left and you will arrive at the castle gate.

(1) Turn left to descend the path opposite the gate and, at the intersection you passed on the way up, turn right and you will arrive at Rue des Dentellières. Follow the street straight ahead, ignore Passage de l'Intendant on the right, then turn right, ignoring Petit Chemin Vert on the left, and descend to the T-junction.

Turn right onto Rue du Pont de la Pierre, ignore Route de Laurency on the right, then Passage des Amoureux on the left, then turn left onto Rue du Petit Pont. Continue to the bridge over the Ligonne.
Retrace your steps and take Rue du Petit Pont on the right. At the intersection, do not go under the arch opposite, but turn right to pass in front of the priory and return to Place de la Mairie (S/E).

Discovery walk, very easy, no special equipment required.
