Description of the walk

Plateau d’Yzeron car park (Le Plat).

(S/E) Walk down the access road to the car park until you reach the first junction.

(1) At the fire hydrant, turn left, then take the path to the right of the frog sign. Continue straight on along the path until you reach the road.

(2) Cross the D122 with care and follow the path opposite, which runs alongside the road below, until you rejoin the road.

(3) Cross the D122 once more , taking the same care, to follow the path opposite which climbs for 400 m.

(4) At the fork in the road, take the path on the right which descends slightly.

(5) At the three-way junction, turn left onto the path that climbs up to a path running at right angles.

(6) Turn right, then right again onto a wide path (GRP®) which descends to the road leading to the Plateau d’Yzeron. Turn right and return to the original junction.

A lovely, very pleasant walk when the weather is warm, as most of the route is shaded by trees in the forest. It’s not too challenging – a really nice walk!

A lovely walk. Quite short: 4.2 km in an hour. No particular difficulties; easy to follow. We did it in winter – it was bright without the leaves; in summer it must be shaded, so it’s lovely when the sun is beating down.
