When you reach the D21, continue straight ahead for 150 m, then turn left. 3/ In front of the observatory, turn right, leaving the track leading up to the Peron oratory (antenna), and continue straight ahead to reach the supermarket. Cross the D32 to enter the hamlet of Abbaye. Just before the end of the tarmac road, turn left onto a track. At the crossroads, turn right, then left after two fences. The track follows the fence to a meadow. Cross the meadow. 4/ At the end of the wood, turn left onto the dirt track that crosses the wood. It becomes asphalt and climbs back up to the D32 at the entrance to "Cré Bouché". Turn right onto the D32, then, before the first house, turn left onto a track. Keep to the right of the hangar and continue in the same direction until you reach a road on the left, that must be taken. 5/ At the next crossroads, turn left on the Gotay road to "Chez Portay".
