The starting point is Place de la Fontaine in Gézoncourt.
Head towards the Moulin de Villervaux mill, leaving the village via the D106.
(1) Pass the old mill and follow the yellow circle markings to join the famousGR®5trail.
(2) Follow theGR® on the right, which goes up the Esch river. We are now in the woods.
(3) When you reach the ruins of an old mill, you will need to cross the river via a ford to reach the D106 road. Cross the road and enter the Martincourt communal wood (this avoids walking along the road for over a kilometre). Walk through the wood for 500 metres to reach a white path at the end of the wood.
(4) Turn left to reach Martincourt. Continue on theGR®5to Saint-Jean.
(5) At the edge of the village, leave theGR®5trail and take the trench that heads towards Lironville, starting with a 2 km climb to the first field (Haut Poirié).
(6) Turn right (you will see the bell tower of the village of Lironville). Take the white path that runs alongside the field for 1.5 km to join theGR®5and the village of Mamey. The Meuse department is not far away.
(7) Leave Mamey via the trench of the same name and follow theGR®5to the Tranchée de Vaux de Châtel.
(8) Take it on the right for about 2.8 km until you reach the Tranchée du Haut Piémont.
(9) Continue along this trench on the right for 800 metres.
(10) Then turn left onto the Tranchée du Milieu for 1.5 km.
(11) Turn right and after 500 metres, turn left then right to join the path marked with a yellow circle, which takes you back to Gézoncourt, passing by the wash house (S/E).
