2 – Follow it to the right until the crossroads.
3 – Use the grassy path on the left which enters the Breuil national forest. Then follow the bank on the right and reach a small road.
4 – Take this path which winds between the trees to the banks of the Breuil pond. Then follow the bank on the right and reach a small road.
5 – Cross it and find the path which enters the woods again. Cross over the Senouire using a footbridge. The path crosses a forest road and continues under the trees. After a steep path, come out on a perpendicular path.
6 – Go left. The path curves to the right, then emerges into a clearing.
