Parking at the bottom of the village of Le Beaucet next to the cemetery, Place du Maquis Jean Robert.
Orange and yellow signposts
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the village, take the Route de la Bastide (D39A) which descends to the right until you reach the crossroads.
At the signpost "Les Fayardes", turn left onto Chemin du Fraischamp towards Les Fayardes. Leave the two paths on the right and the one on the left to reach a fork and the signpost "La Rouvère".
Continue right towards La Roque-sur-Pernes on the small paved road for 50 metres.
(1) Leave the road and take the path on the right. This path climbs in hairpin bends under the cliffs and, after passing two small gates, offers a beautiful view of Le Beaucet.
Continue straight ahead on the path, which becomes a tarmac road (Chemin de la Grange d'Ambroise), and you will reach a roundabout. Cross the road and continue straight ahead on the D57 (Route de Saumane) for 100 metres.
No signposts
(2) Turn right onto Chemin du Château. As you approach a gravel square on the left, look for the steps on the left and go down them. They end at a paved slanting street that joins the signpost "La Roque-sur-Pernes".
Orange + yellow signpost
Continue right at a right angle towards Fontvieille to quickly reach Place de la Fontaine. Continue left on Avenue Fontvieille, which joins a road with a fountain on the left. Continue straight ahead towards Le Plateau to find the signpost "Fontvieille" 50m further on.
Yellow/red + orange signposting
(3) Leave the road and take a small path that descends to the right towards Clapeyrouse. Continue along this path, which climbs into the woods and ends in front of a property entrance. Leave the path that climbs opposite and turn left onto Chemin de la Sanguinouse until you reach the D57 at the signpost for "La Clapeyrouse".
Cross the road towards Haut de Fraischamp and continue along Chemin de la Grange Neuve.
Take a look at the magnificent drystone shelter on the left, then continue along the path. Pass a restaurant, turning left twice, and join the Le Haut du Fraischamp signpost at a large crossroads.
(4) Continue on the path opposite towards La Grande Cabane. 150m further up, cross a path and continue straight ahead on the trail to reach the signpost "La Grande Cabane".
Turn right onto the paved road towards La Piaule. At the La Piaule sign and the mandatory parking area, continue straight ahead towards La Carrière. After 50 metres, leave this road and continue left on a path. Ignore all the paths and trails on either side to reach a large platform at a large intersection.
Pass to the left of a building and continue on the main path, ignoring all the paths on either side. The path descends and rejoins the La Carrière sign at a road.
No signposts
(5) Take the path opposite marked J7B with a yellow arrow. At a fork, the path branches off to the right and goes around a stone wall a little further up. Continue along this path, leaving a trail that climbs steeply to the right (not very visible). The path then descends and rejoins the Combe de la Fontaine at a very large oak tree.
Red/white markings
(6) Turn left onto the very stony path that completes the descent of the combe and arrives at a bend in the road at the Combe de la Fontaine signpost. Continue to the right, go around the oratory and 100m further on you will reach the "Saint-Gens" signpost.
Red/orange signposting
Continue right towards Lou Planestèu, pass a troglodyte farm and some ruins, then turn right at the fork to quickly reach the "Lou Planestèu" sign.
Yellow markings
(7) Leave theGR® on your right and continue straight ahead towards La Pelade on a flat path. Stay on the main path (incorrect signposting on the map) then descend past a dog enclosure and some abandoned vehicles. The path becomes a track then a tarmac road which you should follow to the hamlet of Peyre (incorrect name on the map).
When you reach the Peyre signpost, leave the road and turn right to enter the hamlet. Pass between the house on the right at the edge of the road and the one on the left, which you must go around to find the path.
Go to a crossroads (curved wall), leave the path on the left and the trail on the right and continue straight ahead on the stony path that descends.
Leave two paths on your left and follow a short stretch of tarmac to reach the La Pelade signpost.
(8) Just before the road, turn left towards Le Dégoutaïre. Leave the path on the right (not very visible) and continue to a crossroads. Leave the yellow signpost and turn right onto the path marked with a yellow cross. This path is still marked in yellow... Quickly leave a path on the right and continue on the left to go around a ruin. Follow the path, which offers several viewpoints over Le Beaucet, and join a track.
Red/yellow + orange markings
(9) Turn left onto this path which descends towards the village. As you approach the first houses, the tarmac reappears and the path joins the Route de Vénasque. Pass a fountain on your left and continue left on Chemin du Beaumont, which runs alongside two houses. Immediately after, leave the path that descends to the right and go straight ahead on a very small grassy path that joins Route de Saint-Gens.
Cross it and continue on the path opposite, which leads to the cemetery.
No signposts
Walk along the left side of the cemetery on a small trail that leads back to the car park (S/E).
