Head to Alos, cross the village, pass the castle on your left and follow the narrow road downhill to the church. Park at the side of the road , taking care not to obstruct traffic.
(S/E) With your back to the church, take the wide grassy path, which then becomes partially stony and begins a steady, sustained climb before levelling out and leading to a tarmac road. Turn left and continue to the nearby crossroads.
(1) Turn right. When you reach a beautiful property, leave the tarmac road and follow a wide grassy path on the right, which runs flat through fields and woods. Continue in the same direction until you reach La Cadène, where you will come to a crossroads just before a beautiful stone house.
(2) Turn right, rejoin the tarmac road and follow it to the left until you reach the first crossroads , taking care as there is no usable verge. Turn left onto the D8 and continue along it with the same caution until you reach the sign for Taureilles.
(3) Leave the road and turn right onto a wide path that winds its way between the vineyards. At the crossroads, go straight ahead and enter the woods, which you will cross, alternating between ascents and descents, until you come to a cross-country track.
(4) Turn right and descend to a narrow tarmac road. Follow it to the left for about a hundred metres before turning right uphill towards Itzac.
(5) Ignore the path on the left that leads back down to the road you just left, and continue to the village. Turn left and then immediately right between the beautiful, perfectly restored houses and leave the tarmac to follow the path that leads to La Janade. Go around this imposing residence on the right and you will reach a crossroads located in the middle of a left-hand bend.
(6) Turn right to follow the wide path that descends into a small valley planted with vines. Once at the bottom, turn left, crossing the bridge over the Ruisseau de Duèze, which may or may not have water depending on the season, and join a wide track suitable for vehicles.
(7) Continue straight ahead on this track, which leads to the road serving the hamlet of Beaudinencq. Turn left, cross the hamlet and continue straight down to the bottom of the valley to rejoin the D8.
(8) Cross carefully and take the small road opposite marked "Bouffat". After the houses, there is a steep climb to the Combecave crossroads, where you turn right. Follow the road as it bends to the left until the next bend with a house on the left (a place called Plaisance).
(9) Leave the road and follow a path that descends further into the woods. When you reach a crossroads, go straight ahead and continue downhill to the Ruisseau de Marines stream, which you cross via a small bridge. Then keep left to reach the church in Alos and the car park (S/E).
