Tout comme le circuit n°5, cette boucle balisée passe à Puymillier où l'on pourra découvrir son mûrier quatre fois centenaire, classé parmi les arbres remarquables de France, avant de remonter un peu plus haut pour atteindre le chemin qui relie la Bournélie à la Félolie et qui offre un point de vue remarquable sur la chaîne des Puys. On descend sur Aubusson par un sentier légèrement technique situé derrière les ruines de l'ancien château de Montgon qui permet de rejoindre l'église du Bourg. Celle-ci abrite une magnifique vierge romane en majesté datant du XIIème siècle. Le circuit fait ensuite le tour du lac avant de rejoindre les villages de Tournebize et de la Souche. Après une rapide descente au bout de laquelle on franchit le ruisseau d'Espinasse et on conclut par une remontée sur un chemin jusqu'à Champblanc avant de poursuivre par la route jusqu'au centre nature.

In particular, you should be particularly vigilant during the first descent between Ollières and the Mégain bridge, especially if you have not had the opportunity to warm up a little beforehand. The circuit then runs along the western part of Lake Aubusson before passing near the Notre-Dame d'Espinasse chapel built just above a miraculous spring from which water springs which can treat and cure certain skin diseases such as eczema...
Fairy Walk
Departure: church square. Walk past the church then follow the road to the railway line. Before this, turn right and follow the street for 500 m. Head towards the D 906. Cross it to take the road opposite, be careful of fast traffic (direction la Brousse). Turn left and join La Brousse. 1. In the hamlet, take the path on the left, just after the fountain. Continue on this same path to the village of Chaumies (viewpoint over the Forez mountains). At the first houses, take the path opposite. The path becomes a road that we always follow. At the last house, leave the road and take the path opposite. Leave the first path on the right which goes down into the woods. 2. At the top of the hill, at the crow's feet, take the path on the right (viewpoint). Go down towards the stream and continue along the same path. Arriving at the road, turn right towards the hamlet of l'Eschalier. At the first houses, turn left to join the road. Cross it to take the small road opposite. 3. At the transformer, turn right onto the road then, 150 meters further, follow the D44 on your left for approximately 1.5 km. 4. At the cross, continue to the right on the D 308 and join the D 906 (be careful of fast traffic). Cross it to reach the church square in Néronde-sur-Dore.
