Guidebook with maps/step-by-step :

Étape 1 : From the start sign in the square behind the church, walk down towards the war memorial and turn left onto the D60. Turn left after the town hall, then take a small grassy path opposite. Cross the stream and climb up to the hamlet of Chauvence (Croix de Mission – 1924). After the cross, turn left. At the junction of four paths, go straight ahead. Follow this wide path along the edge of the wood until you come to another crossroads.

Étape 2 : Turn left and continue straight ahead on the main track until you reach a T-junction. Turn right onto the main track, ignoring the path that rises to the right for a few metres. Continue until you come to a crossroads near a pond.

Étape 3 : Turn left, go around the pond and ignore the track opposite the weir. At the next junction, go left. At the crossroads, go straight ahead as far as a small tarmac road (Croix de Milan – 1959).

Étape 4 : Take the track opposite the cross. Follow it to a crossroads. Go left as far as an iron cross.
