Description of the walk

Park in the village car park.

(S/E) Set off along Route de Rochefort (D127), keeping the church on your left. Turn right onto Chemin de Mastaize, which heads due north, and continue to a T-junction.

(1) Continue straight ahead, cross the Ruisseau de Nicoule, go straight on at the first junction and turn right at the next one to reach a crossroads.

(2) Turn left onto the small road that climbs. 100 m further on, you can visit the Notre-Dame-de-Mastaize chapel on the right.
Continue along the dirt track opposite, which crosses Mastaize. Keep to the right and enjoy the view of the Eyzahut mountains, the Trois Becs and Coupseau in the distance.
Join the D210 road at La Bâtie-Rolland.

(3) Turn left and stay on the edge of this road for a few hundred metres.

(4) At the 177m mark, turn left onto Chemin de Grangeneuve. Follow the small road to the crossroads and turn left. Stay on the path that runs alongside the fields, passing through Grange Neuve.

(5) Just before the Pont de la Cabane, turn left into the forest. Follow this single-track path through the forest for over a kilometre, then continue along the path at the edge of the woods.

(6) At the junction with Chemin des Durands, take the road on the left and, at the next junction, continue straight ahead along Chemin de Cavaillon until you reach the T-junction from the outward journey.

(1) Turn right onto Chemin de Mastaize and return to the starting point (S/E).

The weather was perfect on this Easter Sunday for this lovely, well-marked circular walk, offering beautiful views of the Trois Becs and the Rochefort plain. You can shorten the route by taking the marked path on the right towards the Cabane bridge before reaching Les Durands.

A pleasant walk, although the tarmac sections between the start and point 2, and then between points 3 and 4, are a bit long. There are lovely views on the first section, and the path running alongside the Gourn stream between points 5 and 6 offers a real change of scenery. Thank you for this walk.

At point 2, the road that goes uphill to the left: do not take the Micolline path, but a little further on, take the path with a sign saying "cemetery"
