Step-by-Step Directions: Town Hall – La Fley Chapel: 10 minutes From the town hall in Nancy-sur-Cluses, take the road coming from Cluses. Before leaving the village, take the small road branching off to the left, following the sign for “La Chapelle Tour des Crêtes .” The paved road then becomes a trail overlooking the village; continue along it to the Chapel of La Fley, following the “Chouette Eliot” trail markers. From the Fley Chapel to La Frasse: 45 minutes Once you reach the chapel, take the steep path for 200 meters. It climbs to the left immediately after the chapel (do not continue straight ahead). After the climb, at the trail junction, turn right. Continue to the power line tower and enjoy the unobstructed view of Cluses to your right. When you reach an intersection, turn left, following the signs for Nancy via Les Crêtes (yellow markings). Walk along the edge of the woods and continue uphill for 100 meters. At the intersection, follow the road to the left toward Nancy (yellow markings). Descend until you reach the departmental road; cross it and follow the signs for “Le Moulin.” Continue down the paved road until you reach the houses. From there, at the intersection, turn left to reach the village of La Frasse. You’ll pass, in succession, the remarkable restored granary, the old peddlers’ houses with the number 4 decorating the tops of their doors, the twin ovens, and the La Frasse Chapel. From La Frasse to City Hall: 5 minutes After the chapel, continue to the right to reach the parking lot and the church in Nancy-sur-Cluses.
