(S) Depart from the car park opposite the Bethléem temple (there is another car park on the other side of the bridge over the Yonne).
Take the Auxerre road (D951A) for 300 metres, then turn right onto Rue de Sembert. Go up to the Pataut cross and take the path on the right. Continue straight ahead until the next junction with a tarmac road.
(1) Cross this road and continue along the path opposite.
(2) At the next path on your right, take it to descend into the woods to the village of Armes. Please note that even in the village, the road you are about to cross is very busy.
Cross to the pavement opposite and walk along the parapets of the river's backwater.
(3) Go down the steps on the right. Cross the three footbridges and turn right onto the towpath. After the first lock (Écluse de Maladrerie), cross the small bridge to change banks.
Continue along this path until you reach the next bridge over the river.
(4) Take the bridge on the right and, after crossing, turn left and follow the cycle path to the lock.
(5). Cross this lock and head towards the town centre via the Quai des Jeux. Continue straight ahead until you reach the roundabout. Turn left twice, then take Rue de la Mirandole and go up the hill. Then turn right to enter the town centre.
(6) Pass in front of the collegiate church and go down the steps to reach the lower town.
(7) Cross the Beuvron bridge, turn right and then walk along the River Beuvron. Follow the backwater via Quai des Iles and Rue Traversière. Head back up into the town via one of the small streets. The rest of the route will take you back to the starting point (S/E), depending on your mood and preferences.
