To reach the car park: walk along Le Brusc harbour and, at the end of the car park on the quayside, turn left onto Montée du Gros Pin – be careful at the tricky junction at the start of this street. Turn left onto Chemin de la Gardiole until you turn right onto Chemin de la Lèque; shortly after the start of this path, you’ll find a car park under the pine trees.
Park in the first dirt car park, surrounded by ganivelles (fences made of wooden slats held together with wire).
(S/E) Take the path at the end of the car park, heading towards the sea.
(1) After looking out over the cove, bounded to the north by the Pointe de Mourret, look for a rough path leading down to the beach. Follow it there and back, but be careful: it’s quite steep. Return to the path overlooking the coast.
(2) Carry on until you reach a headland. Here, enjoy the view of the cove you’ve just passed and, on the other side, the beach at Trou de l’Or and the rugged coastline. Set off again, walking alongside a property fence, until you reach the road – this is the Chemin de la Lèque. Turn right onto it and you’ll come to another road, just after a chapel converted into a private residence, visible on the left.
(3) Turn right onto the Route de la Lèque until you reach a crossroads, then carry on straight ahead along the Chemin des Cargadoux. Once past the houses, you’ll come to a gate and an information board about the mountain range. Continue along this path, which becomes a dirt track.
(4) To the right of the track, take a path that descends gently. Follow it; at the start of this path, just before passing under a pine branch forming an arch, take another path that descends to the right and leads to the Roche de la Lèque, a large sandstone boulder with a rock shelter. After visiting this site, return to the previous path and follow it down to the 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 the Crique de la Fosse, head back up the same path.
(4) Back on the track, the Chemin des Cargadoux, turn right onto it and follow it for a few dozen metres. At a sharp right-hand bend in the track near a barrier, take the path which climbs to the left through the scrub. You will soon reach a track that climbs to the left. Keep to the right on the path and follow it uphill to the ridge, then head down to the right to join the Var Corniche forest road; there is a DFCI water tank here.
(6) Cross this to reach the start of a forest track. Follow it for a few dozen metres and turn immediately left onto the well-marked, gently sloping path. Continue straight on along this path, which will soon run alongside the Roumagnan stream. You will then reach a tarmac track, the Chemin de Larme. Continue along this track, leaving the Chemin de Courrens on your right, until you soon run alongside the D2816 road and then join it. Follow it to the next junction, then turn left – a hairpin bend – onto the Route de la Lèque. You will reach the junction with the Chemin de Pierredon.
(7) Turn right onto this track and keep going, ignoring all the side tracks to the right and left. You’ll reach the Morret neighbourhood and then come to the junction with the Chemin du Mont Salva.
(8) Turn left here; when you reach the junction with Chemin de la Lèque, turn left onto this path 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.
