Itinerary description

We started from Arsoun village not far from municipality. We followed asphalt road till we reached the trail which goes between the asphalt road and the river. The start of the trail is a waypoint "start of trail" that was taken on the way back.
On this trail, on the point "turn left", you have to turn left on a narrower trail. You continue on this trail, you cross a small bridge and then you start a small ascent. At the end of this small ascent, you reach a dirty road between pines. You go right and you follow the road.
By the end of the dirty road, there is a large trail and a at a certain point, there is no more clear trail. There are some private properties on the right side. We turned around these properties. You can easily find your way till you reach the point "four a chaux".
After the "four a chaux", you go some meters on asphalt and then again on a dirty road till you reach an old bridge. You continue on the same trail. You reach then some ruins.
You continue on the trail and you reach a large picnic place in a pine forest.
You continue on same trail and same direction.
On the point, turn 180 degrees, you change direction on the same road and you follow the trail. After 1 km, the trail is not so clear but you can still manage to find the waypoint "crossing water". After that point, the trail is very easy and will take you back to the point "turn right" where you were earlier. The last part is the same as the first part.
