When you see the rural surroundings of this short walk, you will very quickly understand why so many painters from the Proveysieux painting school came here and used the area as inspiration.
To the right of the church (alt. 515 m), take the direction of Quaix-en-Chartreuse by a small road going down. You
follow the "sentier des Peintres" and a yellow signpost. The asphalt quickly disappears to give way to a dirt track.
dirt track. Don't take the path that goes to the right and continue straight down.
Under an old stone ruin, the path leading to the mill and the river starts on the right. You can go for a walk on this side, but the way up
on that side, but the way back to the village is by the left path. You pass over an old building,
and back in the forest, at the intersection, turn left again following the sign "retour village". You
You will reach a small street in the village which will take you directly to the town hall and the church.
