Circuit de La Chapelle de Repas

- Follow the tarmac road up to the junction on the plateau and turn left.
- Just after the farmyard, turn left and start to descend to the bottom of the valley of the Pont du Roi river. Cross it on the footbridge and follow the path; you soon come to a larger track where you turn right; 50 m later, you come to a junction where you turn right again.
- Descend to the ford of the Pierre Luzière stream. Begin the climb, which takes a sharp left turn and becomes quite steep; it eventually eases as you reach the plateau. The path takes you to the first houses, where the road becomes tarmac.
- Turn right after this group of houses onto another tarmac track and fork left.
- After 300 m, you come to the road from Auxy to Bas de Canada (RD 298). Follow this road to the right for about 1 km and at the start of the descent, at an electricity pole, take a discreet path on the left that will lead you to a circular wash-house.
- Continue uphill past the washhouse until you reach a flat area, where you eventually come to a small road on the right.
- Enter the forest and keep more or less parallel to the edge.
- Turn left at 90°, take a grassy path and then a carriageway until you reach the main road.
- Turn left. After about 100 metres, near the pond, turn right onto the tarmac road.
- At the entrance to the forest, turn left onto a tarmac lane, then turn right towards the Chapelle de Repas; continue along the grassy lane until you reach a gravel path where you turn right; walk for around 100 metres before turning left into a forest layon. Follow this to a short (about 30 m) but steep descent at the end of which you turn right.
- 120 m further on, cross the modest ford of the Pierre Luzière stream.
- At the woodland square, fork left. Follow the forest track as it slowly descends the valley of the Pierre Luzière stream.
- At the signposted junction, veer slightly to the left until you come to another junction where you veer slightly to the right; walk 50 m and descend to the left along a path that takes you to the footbridge over the river.
All that remains is to go back up the path you took on the outward journey, turning right twice onto the tarmac road to get back to the starting point.
