Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
1/ From the Chapelle-Agnon church. Go down the D267 and take the first left. At the cemetery, go straight ahead, then right at a stone cross. At the crossroads, turn right (view of the Forez mountains) and at the crow's feet, right again towards La Collange. Before this hamlet, take the left-hand tarmac track and continue straight ahead. At the crossroads, head downhill along a footpath until you come to a crossroads with a detached house.
2/ Turn left and head north, leaving several paths to your left and right. Staying on the ledge, cross the hamlets of Combas and Mouhet. After Mouhet, take the road on the left to reach the hamlet of Paton, where you bend left (view of the Dore valley and Forez mountains).
3/ Leaving Le Montel, take the left-hand path up to the edge of the forest. Continue until you reach the road above Le Varrat. Turn left, ignoring the forest tracks. At Le Crouhet, take a path down into the valley in front of the house on your right. Cross the ruisseau du Sardie to go up under Farnouze.
4/ At the crossroads, turn left and cross a stream, then go up and continue on the right-hand path. After the large ruined building, turn left. At Farges, go alongside the hamlet and take a path down to the stream on the left. Cross the stream and climb up to the D37 (view of the Monts du Forez), which you take for 100 m. At the crow's-foot, turn left to return to the cemetery and church.
