The circular route starts at the small cemetery in Montmaur-en-Diois, which is on the right 500 m after leaving the D93.
(S/E) Take the path northwards and, after 700 m and a small hut on the left, the path veers to the right. Descend for 100 m.
(1) Take the path that enters the woods on the left. Above the hamlet of La Tuilière, join a track that crosses the stream and continue to the fork.
(2) Take the path leading up from the hamlet. After 400 m, leave the path and take a track on the right heading north until you cross the highest of the vineyards. You will then reach the Chemin de Satayas, which climbs up into the woods.
(3) Follow the Chemin forestier des Baux to the ruins of the Baux forest hut.
(4) Cross the path, covered in boulders, via dry streams. The path becomes a trail and reaches the foot of a grey ravine, then runs away from it for about 200 m. Then take a trail that climbs back up to the left to reach the top of the ravine with the distinctive scenery of the Pas des Baux.
(5) Continue along the mountain-side path for about 100 m until you can see the small lakes in the valley and the hilltop village of Montmaur below. Look out for a cairn on the left.
(6) This cairn marks the path to a track a few metres below, which descends the Serre des Ubacs alongside a recently planted forest. You’ll come to a track; turn right and follow it for about 1,500 m to the old village of Montmaur. Strolling through this village is a real pleasure, all the way to the old church with its beautiful view.
(7) Return by skirting the southern edge of the village to take the Sentier du Facteur, which descends southwards. Leave it as soon as it reaches the vineyards, skirting them on the left to reach the road. Turn left to reach the small cemetery (S/E).
