Your itinerary
Stage 1: Departure from the town hall of Bor-et-Bar
With your back to the town hall, turn right onto the paved road towards Bor, and follow it until you reach the junction with the forest track on the right. Take the forest track and after approximately 500 meters, turn left onto a small path that climbs uphill. On the right, several sautos (or “sottos”) are waiting to be discovered. Their purpose was to prevent soil erosion during heavy rains. Follow this marked path to the village of Bor.
Stage 2: In the village of Bor
In the village of Bor, turn right and take the paved road to reach a junction with a small path on the left. Continue on the paved road for about 40 m then go down a small limestone path on the right. Immediately, take the chemin de castine on the right. You pass by the Cabane de Bernadou then cross the forest path and go down a small path to the right.
Stage 3: Towards the village of Laurélie
A little further on, cross the small Laurélie stream and continue on the path. You will arrive at the forest path that leads to the village of Laurélie. Continue straight towards the village and at the end of this small street, take the small road on the right for about 150 m before taking a dirt track that goes up to the right. After passing between two houses, continue, leaving the house with the blue shutters on the left, then take the path you came in by. Continue straight ahead, shortly after passing the Bor stream. 2 m further on, on the left, there is a bread oven (access: go down the slightly steep path).
Stage 4: Return to the village of Bar
Immediately on the left, take a small marked path which leads directly to the village of Bar.
