(S/E) From the car park, head down towards the village, passing the hotel-restaurant "Les Remparts". Take the Rue Haute, which joins the Grand Rue, which you then walk down to the church. Opposite the church, turn right, then left as far as the cross. Take the footpath that goes off to the right just in front of the cross, then turn left a few metres further on. At a crossroads, you come out onto the D247. Follow it to the left as far as the Chapelle Saint-Siffrein (bishop of Carpentras who died in Venasque in 570).
(1) Just after the chapel, turn right down the path following a fence on the right. Go past the pumping station, cross the small stream and after a bend to the left, at a fork in the road, turn right onto the narrow path leading uphill (on the left is a private property). Leave a path on the right and fork left, skirting the cliff on your right. The path continues to climb until it reaches a crossroads.
(2) Turn left and continue up the balcony path (with fine views over Venasque) to the next junction, "Lou Clapas de Jouvenal". Leave the path on your left and the two leaving on your right and continue in the same direction without worrying about which paths might go right or left. Further on the path descends. At the two pylons, take the path on the right, cross the road at Jouvenas and continue straight ahead along the path towards Le Barri. At the T-junction, take the dirt track on the left, arriving shortly after on the D247.
(3) Continue straight ahead on Chemin Saint-Étienne. Let two paths go off to the left, then the path twists and turns downhill (remains of paved slanting streets) to lead to a concrete path that you walk down to the road. Turn left onto the D247. Cross the bridge and continue along the road as far as the war memorial. Turn left and walk along the cemetery to reach the foot of the fortified village of Le Beaucet.
(4) Visit the village - Go around the village to the right on the road, then turn left up the stairs into the village. Pass in front of the fountain and enter the village via Rue Coste Chaude. Pass the town hall and the inn, then turn right up Rue Montée du Four Banal. Go around the church and down Rue Montée des Cendres. Turn left into Rue du Moulin à Huile, then right into Rue Coste Froide, which leads back down to the Barri.
(4) Turn right onto the road (Chemin de l'Ermitage), walk past the Statue of Saint-Gens (on your left) and continue for around 500m to the Dégoutaïre junction. Turn left and shortly after take the first small path on the right. At the fork in the road, turn left and follow the old paved slanting street up to La Pelada. Cross the D247 and continue straight ahead along the Chemin de la Gonette as far as Capelane.
(5) Continue straight ahead, then take the path that cuts across the bend. Once back on the minor road, continue in the same direction. After the bend to the left, take the first path to the right, then right again and then left again until you reach the small road, which you take to the left for a few metres (Jouvenal). Cross the road and take the path along a fence. When you reach the rocks, go down the rocky corridor with steps cut into the rock to reach the D247.
(6) Go down the D247 to the left for a few metres and, after the road barrier, turn right onto the small path that leads down through the trees to the Chemin du Bas Quinsan, which you will cross. Climb the path almost opposite. Leave a track on the left and continue uphill until you come to a small road which you follow in the same direction until you come to a T-junction.
(7) Turn left. Don't worry about the roads to your left or right. At the fork in the road, keep to the right to reach the Tours car park (S/E).
