The hike starts at the car park of the church in Vaujours (Seine-Saint-Denis).
You can get there by car or public transport. Bus 642 serves the Vert Galant (RER B) and Le Chenay-Gagny (RER E) stations. The Giffard or Montauban stops, depending on the direction of the bus, are the closest.

(S/E) Walk along the cemetery wall, heading up towards the woods, then take the path bordered by two wire fences that runs alongside properties and ends with a staircase leading down to Rue de Coubron.
Turn right and continue along this street until you reach the roundabout, which you cross to reach the Route du Bois de Bernouille opposite.
After about 200 metres, you will come to the junction of this road with Promenade de la Dhuis, which is easily recognisable with its two lanes separated by a grassy central reservation.
