Yellow markings
(S/E) At the bottom of Grande Rue, take Rue Chanteloube, turn right at the first intersection onto Rue Quinault, then take the second right onto Rue des Tours de la Boule, which quickly turns into a path. Follow this path, continuing straight ahead. Pass the last small house and continue for about 300 metres.
(1) Leave the path and turn right towards Hameau de la Faye. The path leads to a small road. Turn right and follow the road to the second bend.
(2) Take the path on the left that runs alongside the Creuse. The path descends towards La Déjoune.
(3) Cross the stone footbridge, typical of the region. Continue along the path which leads to a road. Cross the road and take the path opposite.
(4) At the first intersection, continue straight ahead, slightly to the left. Continue to the hamlet of Fressanges. Turn left onto the small road (this road only serves the hamlet and is very quiet) and cross the hamlet.
(5) At the second-to-last house in the hamlet, follow the path to the right and continue to a T-junction. Turn left until you reach the road (D23).
(6) Cross it and continue along the track opposite. Follow the track downhill to a new road, running more or less alongside a very steep-sided stream.
(7) Turn right onto the D93, which overlooks La Déjoune, and follow the road for 600 metres.
(8) On the left as you descend, a ford allows you to cross La Déjoune. It is a large beam with a line to hold on to: more impressive than difficult. Then go back up the track.
(9) At the T-junction, turn right towards the hamlet of Sannebèche. At the hamlet, take the road on the left and follow it to the hamlet of Villedeau. Cross the hamlet and stay on the road for 150 m until you reach a very sharp bend.
(10) Take the path on the left and descend alongside the stream. At the bottom, continue along the path, alongside La Déjoune. Cross the river via a footbridge.
(11) Just after the footbridge, take the track on the right, cross a second footbridge and follow the track that runs alongside the stream towards the hamlet of Bas-Bouteix. Almost at the top of the track, you will see the castle tower, then the castle itself. At the crossroads, continue left; the path does not pass in front of the castle. Then turn right into a narrow street between two houses. Follow this small road for about a hundred metres.
(12) Take the track on the left, alongside a small wooden farm building. Continue straight on until you reach the road (D10).
(13) Cross it and take the path opposite. The path leads to a new road. Turn left and continue for 100 metres. At the next Y-junction, take the road on the right and continue for 500 metres. You will come to a wide bend in the road, before a stone bench.
(14) Take the path on the left. This path descends towards Felletin. At the end of the path, turn right, then immediately left. At the end of this street, turn left down Rue de Beaumont. At the first crossroads, turn into Rue Reby Lagrange. At the next intersection, look out for a small narrow passage on the right. Take it on the left, go under the porch to reach Grande-Rue. Turn left to return to the starting point (S/E).
