Take the wooden footbridge. After a series of steps, the trail descends to the bottom of a valley, crosses the Man Marie River and climbs up to the forest road. Cross the road and continue to the left, then go down the path (beware, it can be slippery!).
A little further on, the trail will cross a small stream (the Leonard river), cross it and go up through the undergrowth.
(2) Fork on the path to the right, leaving the direction Man Marie behind you. The wide path, which goes into the forest, descends gently for 1.1 km.
(3) Take the narrower path on the left, leaving the clearing on the right. It climbs slightly up into the forest on the edge of the fence for 600m (possible visit to the site of Les Roches Gravées de Montravail (engraved rocks) when the owner is present).
Continue straight on towards the centre (4). Take the undergrowth path on the left. Leave the main path and take the gently sloping path on the right. Pass under the wooden arch and find the picnic area. Cross the footbridge and return to the starting point.
