Description of the walk

Park in the Champ de Mars car park in Remiremont, next to the Exhibition Centre.

(S/E) Join the small road overlooking the car park and follow it to the right uphill (marked with a yellow diamond -GR®5F-GR®7). At the first intersection, take the road on the left (Chemin du Calvaire) to Villa Mon Cœur.

(1) Follow the path on the right that goes uphill, marked with a red triangle and yellow diamond.

(2) At the next intersection, take the path on the left with the same markings.

(3) At the multiple crossroads, cross the forest track and follow the path marked with a yellow diamond and blue circle opposite. Continue straight ahead until you reach Roche Tocquaine.

(4) At the top of the rock, continue along the path and then turn right onto path 693, which quickly leads to Chemin de Crête.

(5) Follow this path to the right downhill to reach an intersection.

(6) Turn onto the path furthest to the left marked with a yellow circle and green triangle. Descend to the road.

(7) Turn right onto the path marked with a red cross, which will take you to the botanical trail (a nice little attraction). Cross the road and continue following the red cross.

(2) Keep left and retrace your steps to return to the car park (S/E).

A very beautiful hike in the woods, well signposted, a bit physically demanding at the start as it climbs quite a bit, but the effort is rewarded by all these beautiful landscapes!

A very beautiful walk to do in autumn.
Quite steep for the first two hours, but well worth it for the rest of the day.
However, please pay attention to the signposts:
- Point (1): the trail is not marked with a red triangle and yellow diamond, but only with white and red lines (GR5f-GR7).
- Point (2): the yellow diamond is at least 100 metres from the crossroads, almost straight up
- Point (6): the green triangle has been replaced by a green disc
- Trail 693 is not signposted and is hidden by vegetation
However, if you follow the map precisely, you will find your way.
Enjoy your walk, everyone.

We did this route in early September, and the weather was fine after a rainy night.

We realised a little too late that we were doing the route in the wrong direction. This affected our reading of the details and junctions. Fortunately, a woman who regularly runs trails in the area helped us to read the map correctly and understand our situation (for example, not to confuse the forest road with a road). This would have saved us from walking along paths lined with diseased, cut or tangled trees.

The mistake was made at the start of the route. The path that goes up to the left is not marked at all, so we went straight ahead. If the markings are not visible, use the iron gate of an estate on the right (5 minutes from the start of the path that goes up opposite the residence) as a landmark. Take the path on the left!

The markings are complex, with different coloured circles, diamonds, etc.

A pleasant hike accessible to all.

At point 3, follow the blue circle and not the yellow diamond.

A lovely, well-marked route that is fairly easy despite a few rocky sections and others that are very muddy or even boggy (mainly between points 3 and 5) in wet weather like today. The path, at least in its upper section, seems to be very little used, judging by the vegetation that is beginning to invade it in places. Please note that part of the botanical trail at the end of the route is difficult to walk on due to major forestry work scheduled from 15/07 to 15/09. Thanks to 88200Nico for this great hiking suggestion.

Very beautiful shaded walk along the entire route.
The markings changed on the way back to Remiremont, with the green triangle becoming a green circle.
