RANDONNÉE - LA ROCHE TOCQUAINE
Description
Access: From the centre of Remiremont, go past the hospital. At the traffic lights, turn right towards "Champ de Mars" and "Palais des Congrès".
Parking: Park in the Champ de Mars car park.
Distance: 10 km / Duration: 3h15 / Difference in altitude: 400 m / Signs: blue disc and red cross.
Leave from the Champ de Mars car park in the direction of the Calvary, passing a large Club Vosgien signpost. Start the walk by following the blue disc marking. At the calvary, it is possible to make a round trip for a nice view of the town and in particular the abbey church of Saint-Pierre.
After the calvary, continue straight ahead to join the "Charles David walk" which runs alongside the hospital. At the end of the path, just before reaching the road, the markings on a tree indicate a path to the right that climbs into the forest.
At a crossroads, the path turns left at an orienteering post and then becomes a path again on the right. Follow the markings still uphill.
At an intersection with a carriage road, cross the road to join a path that goes to the left towards "Chalet des Gardes". Higher up, pass in front of the "roche du renard" (687 m alt). Just after the rock, continue on the path straight ahead.
At the Roche Tocquaine (660 m alt), reach the top of the rock by the path which continues straight on and then turns right uphill. To continue the walk, take the path behind the bench.
Pass in front of the "goutte du Founot" and at the end of the path, again on a track, turn right uphill.
Once you arrive at the Chalet des Gardes car park (there are picnic tables), take the "chemin de crête". Change of markings: follow the red cross. Pass the barrier, then a few metres further on leave the path for a path on the right, the "sentier des poudingues", which is easy and flat for about 2km.
At the end of the path, at the crossroads with the road, turn left downhill. Then, just before the road, turn right onto the marked path. Continue until you reach a large crossroads at the Remiremont botanical trail (caution: lack of signage). At this crossroads, go straight on the path then cross the road to join another path opposite which runs along the road to the right.
Further on, at the crow's feet, at the level of an orienteering marker n° 40, take the path which goes down to the left.
On this path, after passing a property on the left, at a crossroads, continue straight down. The path becomes a footpath and arrives on the road which leads back to the Calvary and the Champ de Mars on the right.

Between the trees, you can see the Fossard massif, the village of Dommartin-lès-Remiremont.
