From the Place du Vallat, take the lane on the right that goes up between the houses. Go left then, at the separation of the PRs, right on the narrow path climbing up the hillside between the old terraces [> on the way up, pretty views of Blesle]. Higher [> basaltic organs], the path becomes steeper and leads to the basaltic plateau at the level of the orientation table [> 100 m to the right is the protohistoric wall of Chadecol].
Follow the wide path to the left between farmland. A little before the village of Chadecol, reach a junction.
Turn right and quickly come to a fork. Go left, first in the open, then soon under the trees. The path descends into the woods.
Continue straight, ignoring a path on the right [> coming out of the woods, views of the Château de Léotoing in the distance]. Reach a road. Go right, pass over the railway line when arriving at Aubeyrat.
Turn right. The path descends near the Alagnon and continues between the river and the railway. When the valley widens, the path continues between meadows and pastures. Go under the railway and find the tar. Continue straight to join the D 81 at the entrance to Blesle. Take it to the right.
Place Saint-Pierre, continue straight on rue Édouard-Châtillon. The street turns to the right and joins the starting point.
History is at the rendezvous of this circuit with the protohistoric enclosure of Chadecol, a gigantic monument in terms of its size and construction. Gigantism again, but natural this time, with the organs of Chadecol which dominate and the sumptuous panoramas visible from the lime of Chadecol.
