    Start: Plan d'eau des Oudins.

    1/ After the parking lot, opposite the snack bar, the road continues to the right, passing under a railway bridge. On the other side of the bridge, cross the road to continue straight ahead towards the house.

    2/ Moulins: At the junction with the D81 road, continue straight ahead into the forest, taking the carriageway for about 150 m. You will then pass a soccer pitch.

    3/ La Ravoire: Turn right to reach the Saint-Roch chapel at the fork in the forest. For around 850 m, walk along a shady path (this stretch is full of wild garlic in spring).

    4/ À Gorgouille: On leaving the forest, take the road on the left towards the Rieubel bridge.

    5/ Rieubel: Cross the bridge on your right towards the Saint-Roch chapel (visible from the sign).

    6/ Chapelle Saint-Roch: To descend to Cettier park, continue on the path which forks right at the chapel (on the bend in the D80) and runs alongside the hedges of the houses (through the village allotments).

    7/ Cettier: After crossing the Cettier park, you'll come to a small parking lot next to a traffic circle. At the sign, cross the road. Follow the plane tree avenue to the right at the traffic circle (1st exit).

    8/ La Serradine: Just after the bridge, leave the D81 and turn left onto the road leading to the Oudins lake (approx. 700m on the road before the parking lot).
