Circular route starting from Les Cadets du Pigeonnier

The route starts from the car park at the junction of the D908 and the D45e at the top of Le Pigeonnier, in the Bouilladisse neighbourhood.

(S/E) Leave the car park and turn left to walk carefully alongside the D908 for about 200 m: the path running parallel to the road is blocked.

(1) Leave the road and take the DFCI track opposite, continuing eastwards. Walk for about 1 km.

(2) The track bends to the right and you join the GRP® proper, continuing to descend to the right. Pass a ruin and carry on straight ahead.

(3) Ignore the wide path on the right and carry on until you reach the three-way junction.

(4) Turn right, then further on take a hairpin bend to the right and walk for about 600 m to reach a three-way junction.

(5) Leave the GRP® and follow the track furthest to the right. Begin a long descent and come out onto another track at a water tank.

(6) Continue to the right and reach another junction with four paths.

(7) Take the middle track and arrive at a hairpin bend at the bottom of the Vallon de l’Homme Mort.

(8) Take the path branching off to the right, heading north, to climb up the valley. You’ll reach a junction.

(9) Continue to the left and rejoin the DFCI track and the D908.

(1) Turn left and walk alongside the road , taking the same care, to return to the car park (S/E).
