CallDirections

Starting from the square, in front of the restaurant, walk past the boules court and the football pitch on your left, then turn right and cross the Sornin; on your left lies Lac de la Mine. Just after that, on the left, is the site of the former coal mine, which closed in 1960. After “Les Perrières”, on the right, take the “La Plantée” path. Cross the road and continue along the path on the left, known as the Puits Neuf. On your right are the remains of the entrance to the Puits Neuf. After a short climb, on the “Route de la Côte d’Or”, turn right – you’ll have a view of the village of Saint-Laurent-en-Brionnais – then pass through “Les Chaffauds”. At “Fromental”, turn right towards “La Sarrandière”; as you head downhill, enjoy the beautiful scenery: Dun Hill, the Old Town, the Quarry… Further down, on the left, the path leading to “La Place”, where you join the “Crottes” path; follow this downhill to reach the Gothard waterfall near the old fish farm. Retrace your steps back to the road to “La Sarrandière” and continue down to “Les Coptiers”. Take the path on the right and walk past the farm flanked by two ponds. Return to the village via the same route as on the way there.
