The start of the hike takes you past the church. Its bell-tower (listed) of the twelfth century is one of the rare buildings that escaped the bombing and the fire of the village in July 1944. If the houses all have a similar architecture, it is because they were completely rebuilt from 1948 onwards. It is in temporary buildings (some of which are still visible at the exit of the village towards Vassieux) that the inhabitants lived for six years for some, in particular the very cold winters 1946 and 47.

Back in the village, next to the post office, the ruins of the farm Albert are also called "Cour des fusillés".

You will take it between the crossroads of the Rochers d'Echevis and the Chemin des cliffs. It offers in particular a beautiful viewpoint on the Gorge des Grands Goulets (watch out for the cliff). When you come to the direction sign Chemin des falaises, you will have to go up a little on your left, to find the crossroads of Rochas, and the continuation of the itinerary.
