(3) At the end of the street, take the dirt track and continue to the crossroads. Take the small tarmac road on the right, then follow the first dirt track down to the left. Follow the fence to come out onto the D153.

(4) Turn right onto it, then immediately left onto Chemin du Clos Maroc.

(5) At the transformer, take the GR® (red and white markings) to the left and continue to the junction.

(6) Take the path down to the left (leaving the GR®). Continue to the right until you reach the C401 road.
