District:
Park in Flacey, on the road to Pichanges after a left-hand bend, in front of an unused grey-black silo.
(S/E) Head down to the right into the village. Go round it to reach the bridge over the Gueux stream.
(1) Do not cross it, but follow the river on the left. Continue straight ahead across this lovely grassy area. Reach a new bridge.
(2) Cross the bridge and start walking around this large meadow on the left, then return to this point.
Note: this loop is optional.
Do not cross the bridge again but head straight on into Rue du Pré des Saules. At the first junction, turn left onto a wide, white path that climbs uphill. Continue straight on until you reach the edge of the forest.
(3) Turn left at the edge of the forest, then turn right to enter it and reach the railway line.
(4) Turn right to follow the railway line and continue straight on. Cross the D112e road at a place called Combe au Charlon. Stay on the path running alongside the railway line. Reach the end of the path and continue along a narrower track. Cross the Gueux stream and reach a pylon where the track becomes a path again. You will soon reach a Y-junction.
Please note: the water level may sometimes be too high to cross the stream, particularly in winter. In this case, follow the railway line to the bridge and rejoin the path after the bridge. Take care when trains are passing.
(5) Please note: at this point, a GPS or navigation app is recommended to avoid getting lost, as there are several paths. Take the right-hand fork to enter the forest. At the next junction, take the path on the right. Continue in the same south-easterly direction, then leave the forest and, after a gentle descent, join the D112e road at the hamlet of Le Coteau.
(6) Turn immediately left and head slightly uphill. At the first junction, turn right and, at the next one, turn left to join the D112N. Then turn right to return to the starting car park (S/E).
