(S/E) From the car park, head down towards the village, passing the hotel-restaurant "Les Remparts". Then take Rue Haute, which joins Grand Rue; follow this down to the church. Opposite the church, turn right, then left until you reach the cross. Take the path that branches off to the right just in front of the cross, then a few metres further on, turn left. You’ll come out onto the D247 at a crossroads. Follow it to the left as far as the Chapel of Saint-Siffrein (Bishop of Carpentras who died in Venasque in 570).
(1) Just after the chapel, turn right onto the path that descends, following a wire fence on your right. Pass the pumping station, cross the small stream and, after a left-hand bend, at a fork in the road, take the small path on the right that climbs uphill (the left-hand path is private property). Ignore a path on the right and turn left, following the cliff on your right. The path continues to climb until it reaches a junction.
(2) Turn left and continue climbing along the balcony path (beautiful views of Venasque) until the next junction, “Lou Clapas de Jouvenal”. Ignore the path on the left and the two branching off to the right, and continue in the same direction without paying attention to any paths branching off to the 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 on along the path towards Le Barri. At the T-junction, take the dirt track on the left, arriving shortly afterwards on the D247.
(3) Continue straight ahead on Chemin Saint-Étienne. Ignore two paths branching off to the left, then the path winds downwards (remnants of paved slanting streets) to join a concrete track which you follow down to the road. Take the D247 on the left. Cross the bridge and continue along the road to the war memorial. Turn left and walk alongside the cemetery to reach the foot of the fortified village of Le Beaucet.
(4) Visit to the village – Go round the village on the right along the road, then turn left onto the steps leading up to the village. Walk past the fountain and enter the village via Rue Coste Chaude. Walk past the town hall and the inn, then head up to the right along Rue Montée du Four Banal. Walk round the church and back down via Rue Montée des Cendres. Turn left into Rue du Moulin à Huile, then right into Rue Coste Froide, which leads back down to Le Barri.
(4) Head right onto the road (Chemin de l'Ermitage), pass the Statue of Saint-Gens (on your left) and walk for about 500m to the Dégoutaïre junction. Turn left, then shortly afterwards take the first small path on the right. At the fork in the road, turn left and head up the old paved slanting street with its hairpin bends to reach La Pelada. Cross the D247 and continue straight on along Chemin de la Gonette to Capelane.
(5) Continue straight on, then take the path that cuts across the bend. Once back on the small road, continue in the same direction. After the left-hand bend, take the first path on the right, then right again and then left until you reach the small road, which you follow to the left for a few metres (a place called Jouvenal). Then cross the road and take the path running alongside a fence. When you reach the rocks, descend into the rocky gully with steps carved into the rock to reach the D247.
(6) Walk down the D247 to the left for a few metres and, after the road safety barrier, turn right onto the small path that descends through the trees and leads to the Chemin du Bas Quinsan, which you cross. Climb the path that is almost directly opposite. Ignore a path on the left and continue climbing until you reach a small road; follow this in the same direction until you reach a T-junction.
(7) Turn left. Ignore the roads to the right or left. At the fork in the road, keep to the right and head for the Tours car park (S/E).
