1) Leave the town hall by the terraced gardens overlooking the town. Follow the path that crosses these gardens from the bottom to the top and then head towards the nearby forest.
2) At the end of the forest, at the top of the hill, at the level of a farm, take the path on the left that leads to the old pond of the Moineau (formerly a very popular fishing place for the curists). Go around the pond on the right following the small road.
3) At the third house, turn left along the dike, at the first road on the right, go down to the hamlet of Combes.
4) In this hamlet, near the second last house, follow a grassy path to the right.
5) Below the RN57, just before the tunnel, a shady path downhill leads to the Saint Antoine stream.
6) The circuit continues on the other side, in cornice, then reaches the top of the hill (viewpoint on Plombières).
7) Once on the ridge path, go to the farm on the left, pass it, continue to the next farm and turn immediately to the left. The descent to the village through a small wood is fast. The path is then reduced to a tiny trail. It ends up above the station. Find the town hall by the D157.
