At the road, turn right in the direction of the houses, then turn left again. You will pass through la Grande Rue to cross the town. At the exit of Nonzeville, continue straight to the D70 and turn left in the direction of Destord for 450meters (be cautious, this is a busy road). At the top of the hill, you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama view. In the turn, take the pathway on your right on 800meters to join the grove in front of you. On your right, you can see the first reliefs of the Vosges Massif. Walk along the grove and turn right in the middle of it. The pathway, in the middle of the grove, is joining the forest of Malsieux in front of you. After crossing the forest, walk along the edge and join the church of Pierrepont that you have in your sights.
