Start from the Place du Champ de Foire, at the foot of the signposted footpaths, at the corner of Rue du Petit Pont and the cemetery. Car parks and caravan park 80 m away.

(D/A) Go back up Rue du Petit Pont and head towards the town centre via Rue Camille Lian. When you arrive opposite the church, turn slightly left up Rue du Couvent, head towards the tennis court and pass alongside the new cemetery on the left. Follow the well-shaded path.

(1) At the ford, leave the river Vrille on your right and continue due north until you reach the tarmac road.

(2) Turn left. After about 300 m, just after a track on your left, turn right. Go along a field and then hedges on either side until you come to a road.

(3) Go straight on and take the track opposite. Climb gently until you reach the first houses in Les Perriers.

(4) At the crossroads, turn right and, on leaving the hamlet, leave the tarmac and go straight ahead on a dirt track.

(5) Cross the road and turn right, keeping to the tarmac lane heading left (the path opposite the finish is private). Go straight ahead, taking care at the junction with the D66.

(6) Turn right and keep to the main path leading down to the Étang de Chassin.

(7) Cross the road (D955) with care, then climb the track to reach a road (D66).

(8) Turn left for approximately 200m. Leave this road and take the first small dirt and sand track on the left.

(9) At the end of this path, the footbridge will take you across the marsh and the former millstream of Moulin Cognot. Walk up between the buildings. At the junction with the D955, cross carefully and take the track opposite. It leads to La Guénerie, then to Le Crot Veillat (artisanal bakery on the left).

(10) Turn right onto the track that leads to Crot Maçon. Continue straight on, leaving the few paths on the right and left.

(11) At the junction of five tracks, including a fairly wide forestry track, choose the forestry track by bending slightly to the right (south-west).

(12) At the end of this forest track, turn left for the last stretch. The road is fairly shaded, forming a beautiful canopy of trees in places; leaving on either side, les Pautrats, Bourg sans Paille and les Martins.

(13) Leave the Château de Ratilly on your right. Continue along this tarmac road.

(14) In the hamlet of Les Jolivots, at the cross on the left, take the track on the left. Go straight ahead and this will take you back to the starting point (D/A).
