Park in Rosières police station car park.
From the police station car park, walk straight ahead towards the old railway “La Galoche” (partly tarmacked in the village) and carry on along the dirt road (the rails have been removed).
Once you arrive at the viaduct, you will see the Corboeuf Ravine on the left.
You can get closer to the Ravine (avoid this if it has rained within the last 2 days or on the day as the Ravine is mainly made of clay). To do this, after the viaduct, take the path going down to your left (for 20 m), then turn right (20 m), follow the signs to Chastel. In this charming little village, you will find a trough, a bread oven and a shoeing stall.
You can get back to Rosières along the road, which will take you back to your car.
