- At the end of the path, follow Rue de la Marcelle to the right, then follow the railway line on your left.
- Come out onto the D131, turn left and cross the railway line at the level crossing (watch out for trains). Continue straight on D131 which passes in front of the washhouse, an old half-timbered farm (Ferme du Moulin à Vent on the map), and cross a bridge.
- At the right bend, take the white path on the left towards Ferme de Courgain. At the poplar sign, continue on the white path, which makes some turns. Pass Ferme de Courgain.
- At the junction just past the farm, continue straight ahead.
- At the "A remarkable site" sign, continue straight. Make a loop around the preserved meadow counterclockwise. Follow a river on your right.
- After the sign about the little bustard, take the first path on the left. Cross the meadows and return to the previous sign.
- Take the outbound path again to the right.
- Just before Ferme de Courgain, turn right (west). Follow a wood and ignore paths on the right.
- At the end of the path, turn left. After the sauerkraut sign, continue straight towards the village of Hampigny. Cross the railway line at the level crossing (watch out for trains). At the next crossroads, veer right and continue straight to the D2.
