Park at the entrance to the village of Fournet coming from Larche in a car park provided for this purpose.
(S/E) Head towards the village and immediately turn left, following the sign for "Vierge de Fournet". You now have two options:
- less than 100 m away, take a path that climbs to the right, then climb two large rocks and the natural staircase that follows to arrive directly at the Vierge de Fournet, located on a promontory overlooking the village (route option),
- or continue along the path and then take the path on the right. Once on the promontory, go right to the end where the Vierge de Fournet is located.
(1) From the Vierge de Fournet, head south-east and join the path taken in the second option, but instead of going down to the left, continue straight on for 700 metres along the path climbing up the limestone plateau towards the Puy de Fournet.
(2) At the end of the truffle field, take the path on the right which quickly enters the woods and widens, and follow it for 300 m. Then follow a path on the right which leads to the cliff at the edge of the causse. From there, walk a few more metres to see the view of the lake and the village of La Roche.
Return to the path and take the left fork. Follow it to the remains of a caravan, then turn right to reach a building and the cliff once again (view of the lake).
(3) Go around the building, go down the few steps and follow the path, turning right at the crossroads to go down towards the lake. You will then come to a T-junction. Take the left path, which quickly joins another larger path. Follow this path to the right, going downhill for 450 metres until you reach a tarmac road.
Follow this local road downhill to the left, cross the main road with caution and join the path that runs alongside the lake.
(4) Follow this path to the left for 2 km along Lac du Causse until you reach the first buildings of the water sports centre (view of the lake and the village of Chasteaux).
(5) Take the path on the left that climbs towards the holiday village reception building, cross the access road and take the path opposite leading to the house, then immediately take the path that climbs to the right. When you reach the main road, follow the Route de Rignac opposite, then the Chemin de Clavière, as indicated on the signs.
(6) Take the first path on the right before the access roads to the houses, which turns back and leads up to the causse. Leave the various paths on the left and continue slightly downhill to reach, after about one kilometre, the north side of the causse and join a larger path that supports the GRP® du Causse Corrézien.
(7) Follow it to the left. After 250 metres, cross the local road that serves the hamlet of Froidefond Haut and continue straight ahead on the marked path (mountain bike markings and red and yellow markings). The path is lined with low walls on the upper side and offers numerous views to the north with distant vistas.
(8) When you reach the hamlet of Peyrefumade, go down the path on the right for a few dozen metres, then, just before a farm building, turn left onto the path still at the foot of the slope, which offers beautiful landscapes and fine buildings.
(9) When you reach the crossroads, which those who took the second option at the start of the route will already have passed, turn right and head for the car park at the entrance to the village of Fournet, just 200 metres away (S/E).
