Description of the walk

From the village of Campagne, head towards Saint-Cyprien then park in the car park opposite the “Val de la Marquise” campsite

(S/E) Take the path behind the car park leading back towards the village. Go down the steps on the left, then continue right along the “Route de Saint-Cyprien” until you reach the first lane (Chemin du Roc de la Benque).

(1) Turn left onto it. After about twenty metres, take the path on the left to reach a Fork in the road.

(2) Continue left up a long, somewhat steep climb to reach the plateau at the crossroads.

(3) Continue straight ahead. There is a short descent to reach the next Fork in the road.

(4) Turn onto the path on the right. At the next junction, continue along the path on the right to follow the “Circular Path of the Marquise”. You will reach a crossroads after skirting the plateau.

(5) Take the path leading off to the right into the woods. A narrow and fairly steep section leads back to the starting path.

(2) Turn left to join the road (D35), then right onto it until you reach the car park (S/E).

It’s worth noting that the end of the trail can be tricky in wet weather or in autumn, when the leaves make the descent slippery. So it’s not really suitable for families.

A nice little walk, but be warned – it’s quite steep in places.
Make sure you wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is steep and uneven in places.
