Access to the car park: drive along the port of Le Brusc and at the end of the car park on the quays, turn left onto Montée du Gros Pin, taking care at the difficult junction at the beginning of this street. Turn left onto Chemin de la Gardiole until you turn right onto Chemin de la Lèque, shortly after the beginning of which you will find a car park under the pine trees.
Park in the first dirt car park, surrounded by ganivelles (wooden fences made of slats held together with wire).
(S/E) Take the path at the end of the car park, heading towards the sea.
(1) After overlooking the cove bordered to the north by Pointe de Mourret, find a path that leads down to the beach. Take it there and back, but be careful: it is a little steep. Return to the path overlooking the coast.
(2) Continue until you reach a promontory. Enjoy the view of the previous cove and, on the other side, Trou de l'Or beach and the wild coast. Set off again, walking along the fence of a property until you reach the road, Chemin de la Lèque. Turn right and you will come to another road, just after a chapel converted into a residence, visible on the left.
(3) Turn right onto Route de la Lèque until you reach a crossroads and continue straight on Chemin des Cargadoux. Once you have passed the houses, you will see a barrier and an information panel about the mountain range. Continue along this path, which becomes a dirt track.
(4) Take a path on the right of the track that descends gently. At the start of this path, just before passing under a pine branch that forms an arch, take another path that descends to the right and leads to the Lèque rock, a large sandstone rock with a rock shelter. After visiting this site, return to the previous path and follow it down to Crique de la Fosse. In the lower part of the path, just before the beach, note the entrance to the old gold mine.
(5) After visiting Crique de la Fosse, go back up the same path.
(4) Back on the Chemin des Cargadoux track, turn right and follow it for a few dozen metres. At a sharp right-hand bend in the track near a barrier, take the path that climbs up to the left into the scrubland. You will soon come to a track that climbs up to the left. Keep to the right on the path and climb up to the ridge, then descend to the right and join the Var corniche forest road, where there is a DFCI water tank.
(6) Cross it to reach the entrance to a forest track. Follow it for a few dozen metres and immediately turn left onto the well-marked, gently sloping path. Continue straight ahead on this path, which will soon run alongside the Roumagnan stream. You will then reach a paved track, the Chemin de Larme. Continue along this path, leaving the Chemin de Courrens on your right, and you will soon follow the D2816 road and then join it. Follow it to the next crossroads, turn left at the hairpin bend onto the Route de la Lèque. You will reach the Chemin de Pierredon crossroads.
(7) Take it on the right and stay on it, ignoring all the roads branching off to the right and left. Reach the Morret neighbourhood. You will then arrive at the Chemin du Mont Salva crossroads.
(8) Turn left onto this road and continue until you reach the Chemin de la Lèque crossroads. Turn left onto this road to return to the Mont Salva car park (S/E).
Possibility of extending towards the Mai chapel. No particular difficulties except for a steep 15-minute climb off the old coastal path.
