Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Step 1 : Take the gorge path to the clearing.

Step 2 : Turn left and continue up the winding road, ignoring the paths to the right and left. On the plateau, continue straight ahead as far as Redon-haut.

Step 3 : Go through the hamlet. At the exit, turn left (shortcut possible) and continue on a good track. At the intersection with a housing estate, turn left onto rue de la Moulhère. Continue along the same road. When you reach the small tarmac road, turn left towards Redon-bas as far as the wooden shed.

Step 4 : Turn right immediately and cross the INRA property. At the “patte d’oie” (crow’s-foot), turn right onto the gently descending path. At the iron cross, go left to a playground.

Next step

Step 5 : Take the left-hand path. Near the road, take the left-hand path. Continue along this path until you reach the junction with the old RN89, which you take on the left to return to the parking lot.
