The Morge valley

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Step 1 : From the parking lot, head for the calvary, take rue du val de Morge, then rue des Lilas to the left, then rue du val de Morge to the left. Leave the village via rue du Moulin. After the old Champeyroux mill, take the right-hand path along the Morge to join the D 429.

Step 2 : Cross the road and take the path opposite. At the fork in the road, keep right to reach Buxerolles (on the right, you’ll see an old mill). In Buxerolles, take the asphalt road to the left as far as Place des Noyers (on the left, “La Borie” mansion with its adobe dovecote).

Step 3 : At the grassy median, turn right into rue des Lilas, then left into rue du Moulin until you reach the D 327, which you take on the right for 100 m. Cross the Morge on the metal bridge and take the second farm track on the right for 150 m. Turn right again onto a winding grassy track that passes under the high-voltage line and rejoins the road. Turn right at the crossroads, then left to enter Villeneuve l’Abbé. Take rue de l’Abbaye on the left as you go up (beautiful adobe barn on the right), then the first street on the right to reach Place des Marronniers.

Step 4 : At the crossroads, turn right down rue de la Morge for 50 m, then left along the river (view of the Chaîne des Puys and Tournoël château). Continue as far as the crossroads.
