Follow the narrow streets and footpaths

Cette balade invite à flâner dans les ruelles pittoresques des Granges-Gontardes, à la découverte de fontaines et lavoirs et à emprunter dans les sous-bois, un sentier longeant un parcours de santé que ceux qui le souhaitent pourront tester !

Start at the Champ de Mars square.
Go down the Rue du Taillet and pass the church, the Église Saint-Joseph.
After the church, turn left and take the Rue de la Mairie. Go between the fountain and the lavoir (the communal laundry or wash-house) and carry straight on to the car park.
Bear slightly right and along the street against the one-way traffic flow.
When you reach the Rue Georges Chouleur, go over the pedestrian crossing and follow the pedestrian route marked on the ground.
Pass the cemetery. Carry straight on and cross over at the next pedestrian crossing.
Follow the route marked on the surface of the Rue Georges Chouleur.
Go past the "Parcours de Santé" (fitness trail) sign and, at the end of the track, turn left into the no-through-road called Le Rieu de Crest.
Enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside and the Lance mountain.
A few yards along on the left, level with the concrete pylon, be careful not to miss the steep, stony little footpath that takes you up past the gardens.
Follow the footpath as it wanders through evergreen oaks for a few hundred yards.
When you reach the fitness trail's workout facilities, turn right along the footpath that follows the Rue du Lotissement and carry on past the parallel bars.
Bear right when you reach the asphalt road (just after passing in front of the double espalier fruit trees on the right) and carry on to the intersection.
Take the second track on the left and go up it to the metal barrier.
Go past it and carry straight on.
Pass a new installation (pull-up bars).
When you reach the water tower, bear right and, at the next installation, go down to the left, and then go right down the steep path.
At the bottom, turn left along the footpath and pass the installation with the monkey bars.
Carry on to the final installation (agility chicane and picnic table).
On the right, when you get to the small square building, go down to the road. Take care when crossing!
Take the Rue des Fontaines on the left and follow the low wall, as marked out on the ground.
Pass the lavoir and the fountain, then when you reach the square with the olive trees, go down the Rue du Taillet on the right to return to your start point.
