2) At the end of the ascent, upon reaching the edge of the woods, take the small forest path to the left.
3) As you approach the houses in the hamlet of Combes, follow a grassy path descending to the left towards a spruce grove. The path continues this way until the Pauline fountain.
4) A small detour to cross the stream and reach the bottom of the valley via a forest path that gradually widens downstream.
5) Follow the small road towards the sawmill. The Guizot fountain appears in the ditch on the right side of the road.
