Cross the D 510 and take the path opposite. Cross the ford and zigzag between the vines (subject to the prevailing winds (cairn 10)). Pass the schist quarry (cairn 11), walk along the Torgan and return to the village (in the castle cellar (cairn 12), the wine is still being raised; perhaps you will hear near the Saint-Jacques church, ( cairn 13), the song of rogations asking for a good harvest).

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!

Rakhal Turcotte The 29 July 2021
Excellent hike! I would rate it medium instead of easy because of the length. It took us about 3 hours. Good mix of shade and sun. Great views and beautiful scenery. Reasonably well marked although we took a couple of wrong turns that we figured out quickly and corrected. The village itself is very picturesque.
