Description of the walk

Follow the paved road markedGR®, which continues on a dirt road towards the Auberge des Seguins; park in the last car park before the Auberge des Seguins(signposted) and continue on foot to the car park in front of the Auberge des Seguins property.

(S/E) Continue along the road for 200 m, still markedGR®911, before taking a path that branches off to the left and then turns left again at the first fork. You are now at the junction ofthe GR®911andGR®9. You will soon come to a small bridge over the Aiguebrun, a charming little river.

(1) Do not cross the bridge but descend towards the river, keeping to the left bank (i.e. on your right) and follow the small path that runs alongside it for 1.5 km. The path, which has become a mule track, then leaves the river and climbs gradually to reach Sivergues. Take the time to visit this beautiful village.

(2) Follow the paved road (very little traffic) towards the south-east (on your right as you enter the village). The road makes a wide loop to the right while climbing slightly and ends at a junction with a dirt track that branches off to the left.

(3) Turn right onto the path heading west to reach a three-way junction. Take the path on the right which descends slightly and, after a wide left-hand bend, leads to the Chantebelle farm. Head towards the farm buildings to reach a small path which descends to the right with a sign for "Auberge des Seguins".

(4) Follow this path down into the valley, heading west and then south before reaching a junction with theGR®9.

(5) Leave the path on your left and follow the road straight ahead downhill, then take theGR®9on the right. Continue along the road to reach the car park in front of the Auberge des Seguins and then the starting point (S/E).

A lovely short hike, accessible with a grandmother (75 years old) and older children (11 years old)... very crowded at the start and in the car park!

Sivergues is a beautiful village and the hot spring surrounded by primroses was very pleasant.

We left the Auberge des Seguins at around 10:15 a.m.; the entire climb up to Sivergues was through woods, along a stream and in the shade, so it was very humid and quite cool. Sivergues is more of a hamlet than a village: don't expect to find a café, but there are some beautiful houses and a charming town hall.
We had a few doubts about the route, but with a little common sense, it's easy to find your way.
A short, easy and pleasant walk, at least in good weather.
And you'll deserve your lunch once you get back to the Auberge.
Thank you for the directions, which made for an excellent morning.

A beautiful, easy hike for seniors like us. At the end of May, there was plenty of water in the Aiguebrun, which we followed under the trees (there is a section just after the bridge at point 1 where you have to climb over a small rock because the river is quite high). The climb up to Sivergues is partly shaded and you may find yourself surrounded by a large flock of sheep. Visiting Sivergues is almost like visiting a Provençal nativity scene: flocks, drystone shelters, wells, low walls, a chapel and a calvary at the crossroads! The descent is easy, with views of the climbing spots on the other side of the thalweg.

Hello,
I think there is a mistake because several routes are listed for this hike.
My comment should be moved to "along the Aiguebrun", which starts from the car park near the D 232 and mentions a boxwood hedge that you have to cross, which is impossible to find...
Thank you for your message and well done on your website

Hello Sivieber
Thanks for getting back to us.
Sorry you had trouble finding the route; it's true that the start isn't easy to describe because there's a lot of vegetation, but if I get the chance to do it again, I'll try to refine the description.
Once you find Aigue Brun, there are no further difficulties.
However, I don't see what "boxwood" you're talking about... did I miss something?
Glad you enjoyed the walk
Best regards,

Difficult to follow directions (did not see the "boxwood" as indicated and the starting point was not easy to find), so we did it the other way around using a map app
otherwise, it was a beautiful nature walk, mostly in the shade, with beautiful views, pleasant paths, little elevation gain and fairly easy.
