This is not a former crossroads, but the old Le Chatellier railway station. This station was used for loading iron ore from the St Clair mines.

Absolutely beautiful circular walk! Contains some tough climbs, and here and there wet rocks to walk over so make sure you wear shoes with grip.

Many nice descents but be prepared for long winding roads up too. Easy to follow Velo Francette (43) Signage to Clecy from here. look out for taps in the church grounds if need to fill up on water. Breathe taking Scenery.

The Oëtre rocks offer a natural belvedere overlooking the Rouvre gorges. Don’t hesitate to stop by the Pavillon de la Roche d’Oëtre or the Maison de la Rivière et du Paysage. They will be able to inform you about the fauna, flora and the natural site more generally.
