Start at Le Moulinon in Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut. Park in the car park on the right at the edge of the D20, at the exit of the village, towards the village (restaurant nearby).
(S/E) With your back to the car park, turn left and follow the D20 without crossing it. After 150 metres, turn left after No. 415, following the signs for Aquarock Aventure. Cross a very narrow stone bridge and continue up to a crossroads.
"Yellow-white signage, old and not very visible at intersections."
(1) Take the tarmac road opposite towards the adventure park (ignore the road climbing up to the left, which will be the return route, and the road descending to the right). Continue along this flat road, which is the former railway line now converted into the Dolce Via (cycle path). Take care as this section of road is shared with cars (access to the adventure park).
At a fork, continue straight ahead towards Aquarock Aventure, pass it and arrive at a crossroads just before the barrier restricting access to the cycle path.
(2) Turn left and take the road that climbs steeply. At the next crossroads, the slope levels out; turn right and you will soon reach a property. Turn left between the two buildings (dead end). After passing the last houses in the hamlet of La Ville, the tarmac ends and gives way to a pleasant path. At the next intersection (large blue cedar tree), turn right and continue for a few metres until you reach the signpost for La Maisonnette.
Yellow signpost
(3) Turn right onto the path that climbs up to the D2 towards the Belvédère. Take the road on the right and descend carefully to the Belvédère de l'Eyrieux.
(4) Return to the Maisonnette junction.
"Yellow-white markings, old and not very visible at intersections."
(3) Turn right onto the path climbing towards Saint-Michel de Ch. (as indicated on the signs). This path was once used to access the fields, now abandoned, but the remains of the paved slanting street, low walls and chestnut trees are proof that this area was once productive.
Rejoin the D2 at a ruin. Cross the road with caution and continue opposite on the path (quite steep at first). Continue climbing until you reach the tarmac road to Conjols. Turn right towards the hamlet and follow it along the bottom. At the end of the tarmac road, continue straight ahead on a grassy path until you reach the corner of a large property (Conjols signpost).

(5) Turn completely left towards Saint-Michel de Ch. (as indicated on the signs) to go around the hamlet at the top this time. Return to the tarmac and follow the road to the next junction. Stay on the left-hand lane to reach a fairly large crossroads at the La Vignasse signpost. Continue straight ahead (ignore the two roads on the right and a path on the left) and head towards the hamlet of Les Buffes. Go to the junction at the end of the hamlet to find the signpost of the same name.
"Yellow-white markings, old and not very visible at intersections"
(6) Turn left onto the D2 and continue for about 10 metres until you see a small, barely visible path in the grass on your right. Leave the road and descend to the right onto this path.
You will come to a wider path; follow it to the right. Just after this, a vague path branches off to the right towards a water catchment (not marked on the map). Ignore it and continue on the main path. About 200 metres further on, at a crossroads near an old cherry tree, continue straight ahead and enter the forest for a pleasant, shaded descent. You will come to a ford.
(7) Before crossing, go back and forth to the right to see the pretty little waterfall. Once back on the trail, cross the stream and continue downhill to reach a small paved road (Chemin du Moulinon).
(8) Follow it downhill to the left. Before the first houses in Issouans, ignore a turn-off on the left and continue along the road in the same direction until you reach the junction you passed on the way there.
(1) Continue straight ahead, cross the bridge, then turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
