L'école buissonnière

From the town hall of Saint-Chamant, cross the D 1120 (be very careful), take the alley opposite then turn right. At the church (remarkable porch), follow left in the direction of Saint-Bonnet-Elvert.
Leave the road. Follow the path going up on the right. At the vine hut, continue straight ahead, then left at the stream. Climb to Saint-Pardoux staying on the main path. View of the hamlet of Espargilière.
Take the uphill path on the right (beautiful oven). At the barn, take the right path that goes up through the undergrowth, then right at the fork. Pass a barn and a ruined building at La Vergne, then continue always on the left tracks going up.
Follow the road to the left (shortcut to the right towards point 6), at Treuil-de-Chaunac, view of the surrounding hamlets and, in clear weather, of the Xaintrie. After Le Treuil-deChaunac, take the road on the right then, after the cross, the stoned path opposite.
Before the crossroads, turn right. View of Le Laurent, the puy du Tour and the canton of Mercoeur.
After L'Écharavel, leave the road and follow the path on the right. Turn left at the stream, then the dirt path on the right.
Turn left at the junction. Cross Branchat. View of Saint-Chamant and the Souvigne valley. After the vine hut, head left, then right at the stream.
Cross the D1120. Continue on the road opposite. Go 300 m to the right, cross the village and return to the start.
