From spring to wobbly stone

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Step 1 : Take the right-hand path and climb to a T-junction (view of Livradois-Forez, Combronde, Puy de Dôme, Montcel). Turn right. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead. At the fork in the road (waste disposal site), turn left, cross the road and go straight ahead. When you see the houses, continue in their direction and enter Le Peyroux as far as the T-junction.

Step 2 : Turn left, then, at the next crossroads, left onto the road for about 100 m, then right onto “rue des Jouffrets”. At the bend after the farmhouse, take the left-hand path down to the Aise stream. Cross the ford, turn right and climb the steep wooded path. After a flat area and another climb, when the path begins to descend slightly, leave it and go right. At the houses, take the “Chemin de Côte Meunier” road. At the bend in the road, continue straight ahead on “chemin de la Pierre branlante”. At the fork, stay on the edge of the forest. Near a megalithic site, continue along the path and, at the sign for the stone, take the path to the right to reach the Pierre branlante, 100 m away.

Step 3 : Make a U-turn to return to the signpost and turn right. Descend to the stream, cross the ford and climb up to the hamlet of Les Jouffrets. At the fork in the hamlet, turn left up “rue des Jouffrets” (several wells). At the crossroads, turn left onto the road (signposted Laligier, La Tour Serviat) for 50 m, then turn right onto the track. At a private pond, turn left along the edge of a meadow and, at the top, continue to the edge of a forest. Continue straight ahead on the path, which descends rapidly. At the T-junction, turn right. At the stop sign, take the road on the left for 30 m, then go down the path on the right. Rejoin the road and, before the church, return to the starting point.
