I recommend parking in the village car park. There is usually space available during the day and there is even a charging station for electric vehicles.
(S/E) From the car park, head to the village centre, passing in front of the small square with a pyramid-shaped war memorial, then next to the church. At the church, take the street on the right to the bar-tobacconist's, then turn completely left. Turn right into Rue du Jujubier just before the covered passageway. Go up the stairs, pass under the footbridge on the left, then take the stairs on the right to the top to reach a path.
(1) Take the path that climbs up to the far left, offering a beautiful view of the village rooftops as you go. After a cistern, the path continues straight ahead and turns into a track.
(2) At a large intersection, take the stony track that climbs to the left. At the next crossroads, continue to the right and admire the landscape of terraces and olive trees. Continue along the same path for 500 m, ignoring the path that descends further towards a house.
(3) Turn completely left and cross an area of heath with views of Le Gros and Petit Bessillon.
(4) At this point, there are numerous paths leading off. Keep to the right, then left, then straight ahead (middle path). You are now on a red dirt track that crosses an oak forest. You will come to a cistern with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. The path continues to the left.
(5) At this fork, take the path on the left between heath and pine trees. Be careful to continue left further on, downhill, until you reach a small, quiet tarmac road that crosses olive groves and vineyards. Follow it downhill to the right and continue even when it turns into a stone path at the housing estate (do not take the street that goes down to the right).
(6) In the bend after the path becomes tarmac again, take the small path on the right which descends towards the village.
Once in the village, go up the street on the right to the Château des Templiers. Take the stairs that descend just opposite the main gate of the castle. After a few twists and turns, you will arrive at a small square overlooking the village. Continue up the stairs. After the vaulted passage, cross the small courtyard and take the stairs on the far right. At the bottom, turn right and then left to reach the car park (S/E).
