Turn left on the track along the walnut groves. After 400 m, at the crossroads, take the opposite climb on the forest path. Stay on the main path to arrive at “Roland”. At the crossroads, continue left to reach a farm. On the paved road, 800 m after the intersection, turn right across fields to reach the forest at the height of a watchtower. At the crossroads, take the path on the right that leads further on to the houses. On the flat road, reach “Champ Moyet” then cross the road.
