Guidebook with maps/step-by-step :

Étape 1 : From the signpost below the chevet of the Vergheas church (12th-century church with the Virgin in Majesty, Maison des notaires royaux PP1), take the D80 towards Biollet. At the last house, turn right towards Chapelle de la Vierge. At the stone cross, take the path on the left. At the first fork in the road (50 m), continue left to the next fork.

Étape 2 : Go downhill on the left as far as the road. Turn left and then immediately right to cross the Viergne. Cross the stream and turn right (interesting buildings, hydraulic sawmill, mill, botanical garden PP2). On leaving the hamlet, head towards Le Bois. Continue uphill (with a view of Vergheas), cross a beech forest and come to a road.

Étape 3 : Turn right on this road and, after 50 m, take a left-hand track lined with low walls to another road. Turn left as far as Roche d’Agoux. Keep left on the D103 as far as Rocher d’Agoux (on the quartz block, 360° view PV1). Pass an old lime tree. At the village exit sign, take the right-hand path to a road. Turn left. At the first fork in the road, turn right until you come to a high-voltage power line.

Étape 4 : Take the track on the left as far as a crossroads adjoining a meadow surrounded by woodland. Go down to the right as far as the Grange du Bois farm. At the road, turn left for 100 m. When you reach a shed, turn right onto a track. At the first junction of four tracks, turn left as far as Le Cheix. Cross the D517 and, 50 m further on, turn left onto a track as far as a crossroads (under a power line).
