A car park is available at the foot of Réaumont - Saint-Cassien station. But the best option, of course, is to arrive by train.
(S/E) Carefully step onto the road, pass under the railway line and continue straight on for 30 metres before taking the path on the right. First, walk alongside a small pond, fed by the Rigolle, then climb gently up to the plateau below the village of La Murette. Continue on to reach the hamlet of Haut de Saint-Cassien.
(1) Take the road on the right, heading downhill. Then turn left onto Chemin de l'Étang. Head towards the hamlet of Le Mas de l'Étang. Take the path on the left, which climbs gently. After a short climb beneath the chestnut trees, continue through the fields. After passing the power line, you will reach a ruin.
(2) Turn onto the path on the left, follow the track between woods and meadows until you reach the edge of the ring road (D1076).
(3) Walk alongside it on the left, then turn left to reach the D520.
(4) Take this road, stay on the pavement on the left-hand side, then cross at the pedestrian crossing. Go up the path opposite marked ‘no through road’. After a short tarmac section, continue to the right of a house. Cross the small horizontal road and take the Chemin du Regardou de l’Agnelas. Continue the climb through the Bavonne Forest and reach the hamlet of Ratour.
(5) Cross the meadow to the left and continue the climb to reach the Crête de la Grande Porte. Continue along the path on the left and emerge at the highest point of the circular route: the Tête de la Femme.
(6) Stay on the western ridge to descend to the Trou de la Couleuvre.
(7) Take the steep path opposite for a short climb. Descend, pass a hunters’ hut and reach an almost level path. Take it to the left. Follow a circular path to the left to reach a four-way junction.
(8) Turn right and quickly walk alongside a water catchment. Continue along the wider track at the edge of the woods. Via a hairpin bend to the left, continue the descent and arrive at the junction with the D520 in the Talamud Business Park.
(9) Cross the D520 with great care, then take the road to Saint-Blaise-du-Buis, veering slightly to the right. Leave this road a few steps further on and turn left onto a path. Descend through meadows and walnut groves. Cross the D12b with care and continue to the four-way junction where the roads meet at almost right angles.
(10) Turn right and walk past the houses before reaching Rue de Saint-Blaise. Turn left onto this street, then continue along the path cutting across the bend to rejoin the road. Reach the railway bridge. Pass under the tracks and then turn left onto the path running parallel to the railway line to reach the car park at Réaumont - Saint-Cassien station (S/E).
