An aisle leaves on your left, you ignore it and continue on the same track. 6. The runway leads to a crossover. Pines mark this crossroads. A paved road passes, higher up, nearby.

At the bottom of this street, you turn right, then immediately left, and you take the street "le chemin de ronde". You will soon see a small sandy square on your right. You cross it to take the alley "de la Tour" which rushes between houses. It leads to a crossing. You take, straight ahead, the street "Haute" then on your right, the street "du Four". 8. You arrive on the main street, turn on your left until you reach Place Clermont-Tonnerre. Go down to the right to the Castle. Return to the Champ de la Lamé at the end of the aisle.
