The start is at the Domaine des Courmettes car park, which is free and generally large enough for you to find a space.
(S/E) Head up towards the building and take the path that runs through it, then turn right onto a small path which joins a wider track.
(1) Continue straight ahead along this track, passing marker 187, until you reach a Fork in the road.
(2) Turn left, ignoring the sign for “Pié Martin” on the right, and continue north-east until you reach marker 186.
(3) Leave the track, begin the descent to the right along the forest path marked in yellow and reach another Fork in the road.
(4) Stay on the path on the right, which heads due south. Continue to follow the yellow markings, even though the route differs from that shown on the IGN map. Further on, walk alongside a fence and some horticultural greenhouses to reach the tarmac road to Villars and marker 181.
(5) You can visit Tourrettes-sur-Loup, whose historic centre lies about 1.2 km below.
Alternatively, turn right at a 180° junction towards the “Pié Martin” route, heading uphill.
(6) At the fork in the road (marker 183), turn right. Continue up the stepped path, still marked in yellow, to marker 184.
(7) Continue climbing towards Les Courmettes (ignore the track on the right). The gradient becomes steeper. Follow a few hairpin bends and pass close to a watchtower and some antennas. Continue to a gate (ignore the path on the left leading to the watchtower). Go through the gate (remembering to close it behind you) and rejoin the track you took on the way out.
(2) Turn left and, following the route in reverse, head back towards the Domaine des Courmettes.
(1) Turn left to return to the car park (S/E).
