Chemin de César

1/ From the start sign, follow the road between the cross and the church (12th-century church). At the crossroads, turn right, then right again, then immediately left onto a small track lined with low walls. Continue (wash-house, drinking trough) until you reach a crossroads. Go left for 100 m, then fork right onto another tree-lined path. At the road, turn right for 300 m, then climb the second track on the right and continue on the left. At the fork, turn right and continue as far as the Croix des Adieux. 2/ Turn right onto the wide tree-lined driveway (Roman road). At the road, continue straight ahead. Stay on this road for 1.5 km. At a fork in the road, turn right and continue to a crossroads. Turn left and after 50 m, fork right and go straight ahead at a fork. Continue straight ahead on the road to the first track on the left.
3/ Take it and go straight up. Stay on this path, passing ponds. At the T-junction, turn left. Ignore the paths to the left and right. At the tarmac road, turn right and continue to the first crossroads in Villavassoux.
4/ Climb left, then right. As you leave the village, leave the road and fork left. At the entrance to the woods, go straight ahead and continue as far as the road. Turn left, cross the D204 and go straight on. Follow the pond to the right. At the "La Chaize" sign, turn right and fork into the first track on the right before the second pond, climbing between fences. At the fork in the woods, follow the track below to the left and continue for about 500 m to reach the road. Go straight ahead for 150 m and turn right. At the entrance to Fernoël, cross the road, go straight ahead, then right and left to reach the starting point.
