Cross a little stream before rising towards the Croix de Terride where you descend straight down the path that will bring you back in the opposite direction to the starting point.

Points of interest

The Cross of Terride

It marks the meeting of several paths of which one is an old Roman road towards the village of Bize. The vertical stone, slightly curved shape is probably a keystone that could be end of Castle Terrides.
