Parking in the heart of Chaspinhac, Place des Granges (cross, fountains, oven, etc.).
(S/E) Head north and take Rue de La Chabanne, which starts to the left of a cross.
There is a small wooden sign indicating the direction of "Saint Quentin" with red and white markings (GR®3F) for 4 to 5 km.
After 350 m, near the village exit, turn left onto Rue de Chassaure.
(1) At the village exit, at the crossroads of roads and tracks, continue straight ahead on the ascending track (red and white markings + salamander logo). Stay on the main track, ignoring all small paths or tracks for 1 km.
(2) At the entrance to the village of Brouilhac, in front of the cross, turn left and take the downhill track.
Ignore all paths and continue following the red and white signs.
(3) After 800m on this track, take the path downhill to the left with the no entry sign. This is the path that leads to the uninhabited village of Saint-Quentin, 1km away.
400m further down, leave theGR® for a short while to make a return trip to the hamlet of Saint-Quentin (not signposted) by continuing along the track that descends to the left.
(4) After visiting the hamlet of Saint-Quentin, turn around and rejoin theGR® (red and white) by turning left onto the first track.
250m further on, at the crossroads, continue on the left-hand track.
(5) When you reach a small road, turn left, continue for 100 metres and leave the red and white markings behind you, taking the first path on the right marked in yellow. Very soon, in front of a field, this path continues to the left along a track that is somewhat overgrown with brambles but passable.
after 700m, you will arrive at the hamlet of Pouzat. Go around it on the left and follow the small path that climbs up to the right behind the house.
(6) After 300m, at the crossroads, take the track on the right that climbs back up to the plateau, still marked in yellow (PR®). When you reach the village of Chassaure, descend to the right.
(7) 50m further down, turn left onto the road and leave the yellow markings. Admire the beautiful round fountain carved from granite, half buried in the ground.
(8) On leaving the village, just before the sign for "Chassaure", take the path on the right marked in orange (a bridle path). 800m further on, in Brouilhac, turn left, follow the houses and you will reach a crossroads.
(9) Turn right towards a last group of houses, follow the sign for "Saint Quentin" and leave the orange markings. After these few houses, you will arrive near a cross.
(2) Take the track you took on the way there, following the red and white signs.
At the entrance to Chaspinhac, reach the Place des Granges by turning right into Rue de La Chabanne (S/E).
i did this route last Saturday afternoon. There were quite a few visitors at the ruins of St Quentin, but the rest of the route was quiet
