Take the road on the left to cross the bridge and start to descend again on this road, which runs right through the hamlet.
Follow a narrow road which leads into the campsite and continues along a path which crosses the Celse-Nière mountain stream.
After the footbridge, take the path on the left which joins the Ailefroide road further on. The path leads back down to the car park in Les Claux, cutting across the road several times.
