The Boucle du Pays de Manat starting from Servant is a 124 km itinerary in the heart of the Sioule and Combrailles gorges.
This fifth stage of 14.5 km connects the village "Les Fougeroux" in Neuf l'Eglise to the village "Le Peyroux" in Teilhet.

Stage 5: Les Fougeroux / Le Peyroux: 14.5km - 4h00

Start: From the start sign, near the gite d'étape, climb up and take the small road to the left until it intersects with a track (small pond).

1 - Go straight on, then turn right immediately. At the “T” junction, turn right towards “l'Etang de Malguette”. At the crossroads, fork right onto the path marked by a wooden cross. At the fork, keep left until you reach the central traffic circle of
Teilhet roundabout.

2 - Follow the signs for “cimetière” (cemetery) past the town hall to “la Rodde”. Cross it and turn right down a dirt track. Follow the main road to the D110 and continue straight on until you reach a stone bridge.

3 - Cross the bridge and turn left (quarry and wash-house on right). Keep right at the next three intersections until you reach a very wide gravel track bordered by a small stream, which you cross and follow to the left. Take the 2nd left-hand track down to “Chez Charles”.

4 - Take the dirt track to the left. At the fork, turn left, then right at all subsequent intersections until you reach the village of “La Vialle”. (Shortly before, the road passes under a disused railroad line).

5 - Turn right onto the D110 (La Vialle's main road) then, after 100 m, go left towards Les Peyroux.
