From Saint-Gal-sur-Sioule, discover the church of St-Gal, the views from the heights and the banks of the Sioule.
Start: From the start sign, walk between the entrance to the church and the war memorial, then take the impasse des Drigoux. After the houses, walk down a grassy path to a stone cross. Turn right up the track. At the road, turn left and then right onto the first hairpin bend. At the T-junction, turn left. At the next crossroads, go right up to the road.
1 - Follow the road to the left. At the crossroads (pressoir), take the road furthest to your left, which continues down a track. Ignore a track on the right and climb up to the road at the entrance to Chaux (view of the valley).
2 - Go left through the village, leaving the Christian well on your right and continuing downhill. Take the first tarmac track on the right (Sioule valley and Saint-Gal). Stay on this path and pass a stone Maltese cross on the left. Continue downhill until you reach the entrance to the village.
3 - Take the Route des Bois on the right, then the Chemin du Bateau on the left towards the Pont de Saint-Gal campsite as far as the Sioule. Turn left, walk alongside the river, pass under the bridge and then go straight back up. At the crossroads, turn right onto the Chemin du Moulin. Keep to the left and return to the starting point.
