    Descend the track, first on the right bank, then on the left bank of the Coulomp. At the Gay bridge, head up the Lare ravine towards a quarry, then take the RD 110. Turn left onto the wide "Porte de la Chataigneraie" path, remarkable for its sandstone entrance porch. Follow this track up to the village.
