Parking is available along the Cagnes-sur-Mer national road or near the Pont de l'Estéron bridge. The Clave road is only accessible to residents.
(S/E) Start by crossing the Pont de l'Estéron bridge towards the north-east and immediately turn right onto a road cluttered with dead trees and walk for about 400 m after the bridge.
(1) Take the path on the left that climbs into the forest and, after several bends, joins a track and then the entrance to an estate with three ochre and yellow pillars.
(2) At the entrance to the estate, take the road that climbs northwest. Pass marker 10, the houses of La Vignasse, marker 8 and marker 7. After a few minutes of walking in the open, you will see the Saint-Roch Chapel at an altitude of 393 m, which you will reach.
(3) From the chapel, climb up to the village of Gilette in a few minutes. Cross the village square and take the alley on the left between the grocery store and the café. Turn right immediately and continue to the church of Gilette, which is very refreshing to visit in summer.
(4) Turn back and take the lane on the right after crossing the bridge over the M17. Go down the road and negotiate two hairpin bends.
(5) Turn left onto the Gilette botanical trail, which descends towards the west and the Estéron and crosses the forest north of Gilette.
(6) Ignore Chemin des Fuonts on the left and continue downhill towards the Estéron and the hamlet of La Clue. After going around a promontory, you will arrive at the footbridge that crosses the Estéron and leads to the hamlet of La Clave.
(7) After crossing the footbridge, turn left onto the road running along the right bank of the Estéron, which leads back to the starting point (S/E).
