(10) At the crossroads (cistern), follow a small road on the left and pass under the high-voltage power line again. Cross the river again and leave Le Moulin à Huile on your right.

(11) Return to the D901, cross it carefully and follow it to the right.

(12) Take the first left, Chemin de Tingry, towards La Bernardière. The tarmac soon gives way to a dirt track. Cross a street and continue straight ahead on the track.

(14) Take the first right, Rue du Crocq. At the next crossroads, turn left.

(15) After about 200 metres, take a small bridge over a stream on the right and follow the river on your left. Take the first bridge on the left. Cross Rue des Lavandières and follow Rue du Collège opposite. Go around a roundabout (car park of the college).
