The start was a little hesitant, as the parking location was not very precise.
Between 2 and 3, near the olive trees, we hesitated again, as there were several possible paths; but once we had passed them, it seemed very simple: we just had to go straight ahead!
A very pleasant little hike, varied with beautiful panoramic views.

A lovely walk, with interesting statues at the start, a good climb, and beautiful views from the ridge. After rain, the climb is muddy and slippery, so walking sticks are useful. There is a car park at the entrance to the village, next to the cemetery, which is easier to access. Good description.

A pleasant short hike. A great way to explore the region. Once on the ridge, there are beautiful views over the Toureilles and Magrie valleys. La Digne d'Aval is a small but very pretty village built in a circular pattern.

Very well-designed map.
Although short (1 hour 40 minutes and 4.3 km), the hike is nonetheless interesting. The landscape alternates between vineyards, olive groves and holm oaks. I recommend following the ridge via an alternative route, passing point 2 by a few metres and turning left onto a well-marked path that runs along the ridge (splendid view of the village of Magrie and its valley), until you reach the main path (at this point, turn right towards point 3 - Tomb of Mrs Sabouraud).

I didn't have my GPS and we sometimes hesitated about which way to go. In the end, when you're unsure, just follow the yellow, green and red signs marked "route du vignoble" (vineyard route). On the map, the route seems to form a triangle with a fork to the left on the ridge line, but when we reached the ridge, I felt like I was turning to the right, but it was the right path. The walk is very pleasant, but it felt like we walked much more than 4 km. And we had fun trying to figure out why Mme de Sabouraud was Babar's grandmother!

Nice walk, but the return through the woods was a bit long.

A beautiful hike, but best avoided if the ground is too wet because there are large ruts on the steep climb.
