    3- You will then reach the village of Maussans through the woods. You'll discover a restored wash-house and drinking trough, and a castle with a pretty dovecote as you make your way through the village. The rest of the route takes you to the village of Larians-et-Munans, which was also home to the forges built in 1691.
    4- Today, cast iron still flows at Larians on the site of the foundries.
    5- The end of the loop will take you past the parish church of Guiseuil and a wooded path before returning to the heart of the village.
