    From the Farquenoud belvedere, you'll find the Souriane spring where Evian natural mineral water flows, with a lovely view of Lake Geneva. Head back up towards the main town, passing through fields and vegetable gardens. You can make your first stop at the Publier church.
    The path then descends into the undergrowth, crossing the Nant with the pretty bridge "sur le Nant", and descending again along a wide path to the railroad line, which you have to cross.

    Reach the lakeside via Parc Maxima with its ferruginous spring and century-old trees. We recommend a break by the lake.

    At the landing stage, you reach the old village, pass through the passage de l'Abbé Chipier, a small tunnel under the railroad line, then climb up to Crochet.

    You pass the Crochet orchard and follow the path through the undergrowth that runs alongside the tracks. Pass through woods and fields with a herd of sheep in the Châtaigneraie.
    Crochet and a short detour to the Chapelle Saint-Etienne on the Blonay estate. (pass between the soccer pitches).
    Return along the higher path, passing fields and greenhouses and several remarkable trees before reaching the Buvette de Farquenoud lookout.
