Departure from Taulignan (Drôme)
This route is mostly shaded, in the Bois de Taulignan and along the Berre, avoiding tracks and favouring footpaths. Recommended in hot weather and especially when the lavender is in bloom, as the plateau is covered with it. Some of the route is marked with old yellow signs (PR®): plastic stapled to tree trunks or yellow paint. However, a GPS is strongly recommended to follow the route, especially between points (4) and (7) as there are many paths in the undergrowth and not all of them are marked on the IGN map. It may be preferable to follow the guidance on the OSM map for this section.
