District:
Park in the large car park at the caves in the village of Villecroze.
(S/E) Go around the small handball/basketball court, take the pedestrian crossing, then take the Chemin (tarmac) du Colombier opposite, which winds its way up. Go up to the end.
(1) At the right-hand corner (house gate), take the yellow-marked path opposite, which climbs steeply in large hairpin bends through the forest. Continue along the road.
(2) At the crossroads, follow the road to the left. Then at the junction, take the road that climbs straight ahead (signposted Tourtour, the paved slanting street).
(3) At the next crossroads, turn right (the road continues to climb). Then continue along the road that climbs to the left to enter the village of Tourtour and, at the next hairpin bend, climb the stairs between the houses and turn right to go up Rue d'Aups to the centre of the village (fountain, restaurants, etc.).
At the fountain, turn left onto Rue de Laval, which quickly leads to Rue des Caves. Continue along this street to the left, passing the castle and the wash house, and leave the village.
(4) In front of the chapel, turn onto the road on the left (Chemin de Chavardet). Cross a road and continue straight ahead (former Chemin d'Aups, Tour de Grimaud). Stay on this road.
(5) Leave the road and take a track on the right. Pass in front of a ruin and continue on the track on the right which enters a pleasant ravine.
(6) Stay on the right path and climb a little further to a small pass and a road.
(7) Take the road to the right (west), passing in front of the chapel. After 150 m, turn left onto Chemin de Beauvezet, then take Route des Caves to return to the crossroads you passed on the way out of the village.
(4) Cross the village again in the opposite direction to the outward journey via Rue de Laval, Rue d'Aups and the paved slanting street, La Calade.
(2) Keep left on Chemin des Bernardins.
(8) Turn right onto Chemin des Tuiliers.
(9) When the tarmac ends, take the small marked path that descends to the right.
(10) Leave this path to descend to the right (northeast) and quickly join another path. Continue descending (west), join a path and follow it to the left (southwest).
(11) Look for a small path on the right (west), which descends further and quickly turns into a very stony (even rocky) trail, with markings that are not always clear, which follows a series of short ascents and descents.
You will come back to the Chemin du Colombier (tarmac road) that you took at the start.
(1) Go back down the road to return to the car park (S/E).
