This walk runs alongside the Memorial to the Resistance before leading to the site of one of the Vercors Resistance camps, Camp No. 6, which was set up by Benjamin Malossane in February 1943. The members of the Maquis survived for several months in the Grange de Vauneyre, which was tucked away in a quiet clearing hidden from view by the forest. Here you will be plunged into the day-to-day lives of these men and women who decided to join the underground movement. Setting out from the car park at Col de la Chau, head up the steps that lead to the Mémorial de la Résistance, getting the most out of the trail about the Memorial’s architecture. Now leave the Memorial footbridge on your right and carry on for a couple of minutes before taking the path that rises to the left, signposted by three steps. Cross the D76 (be careful: it’s a busy road) to the information panel on the other side and head in the direction of Grange de Vauneyre. A forest path climbs abruptly until you get to the Grange de Vauneyre meadow, which is where the men from Camp No. 6 were stationed. Take the forest path that goes to the left and walk along it for around 800 m until you arrive in front of a wide forest track. Turn left to go down the track via the GR95 that leads to the D76 in the direction of Col de La Chau. Staying on the same track, walk for a few meters along the secondary (départementale) road and head back to the car park where you started from.
