Route notes
From the church, follow the D933 towards Cuisery.
At the place called "la Creuse," take the small road on the right towards "Charmes," continue until the hamlet entrance sign. At the fork, continue your way to the left.
Leave the road to enter the Charmes site (parking, picnic area, start of a discovery trail). Cross the forest following the yellow markings to reach the fossil dunes of the Charmes.
Continue on the path closest to the bank of the Seille to reach a barrier with wooden posts. Head south towards the shed. Then turn left onto the small grassy path. Wander through the forest following the markings. Continue straight at the exit of the forest "les Baisses" until the hamlet "les Guillemots." At the fork, turn right. Go around the Bois d’Autremont on the right. Ignore the path going right towards Bichatoux.
At the paved road, turn right. Ignore the road leading to Bichatoux. After 200m, leave the road for a small downhill path. Cross the hamlet "les Thibauts" and continue straight. You pass close to the Goizenières pond.
At the hamlet "Chapuis," turn right to the containers. Turn left to return to the church.
