Start your walk after a fine lunch at LA PLACE AIMÉ OCTOBRE
Walk along the LA RUE DE FOUR BANAL and around the loop of the road in front of the château. Be aware of traffic.
Keep descending along the RUE DU PONT going past a house on the right which has this plaque.
Arrive at the bridge over the River L'Anglin and bear right.
Walk under the bridge along the RUE DE DONJON, past an unused gate on the right.
Turn left below the château to climb LA TRANCHÉE DES ANGLAIS. This pass, possibly without steps, was made by Les Anglais in order to seize the château in 1356.
Arriving at RUE DU CHÂTEAU turn left, (yes you have been here before)
then ascend the steps at LE TRUCHON (a family name?) which is on your right.
Turn right at RUE DE FOUR BANAL (yes you have been here before)
and proceed down the slope of the TERRIER DU CHÂTEAU where once carriages traversed before the loop of the road was created.
Turn right (yes you have been here before) and then proceed up the slope of LA CUEILLE where once water would have been collected from the low town.
where you can gather your breath, turn right to RUELLE DE L'ARCEAU.
Turn right to return to LA PLACE for refreshment.
N.B. There are different coloured chairs for the two café-bar restaurants. Try one at the start of your journey and the other when you have finished.
It's a good physical exercise and should take you no more than about 30 or 45 minutes depending on how long you stop to admire the views!!!!!!!
