The start is at the abbey car park, the centre of Baume-les-Messieurs.
(S/E) From the car park, turn right onto Rue des Grands Jardins. Keep left at the junction with Rue de Crancot, then take the second path on the left after the town hall to cross the Seille.
(1) Continue to the left through the village heading south, following the Seille. Carry on until you reach the second path on the right. Take this path, passing to the right of a chapel. Cross the stream (the Dard), then follow its left bank with its many small waterfalls. At the ford, turn right towards the Tufs waterfall.
(2) Return to the ford via the same route and follow a path on the left, with steps to the right of the waterfall. Cross a bridge over the river.
(3) Continue to the left of a building, heading slightly downhill to cross the tarmac road.
(4) Just opposite, take a path leading uphill to the Échelles de Crançot. Keep to the right all the way to the Belvédère des Roches on the road.
(5) Then turn back and carry on straight ahead along the road until you reach the junction at a bend.
(6) Carry on to the left: towards Crois de Suchot (PR®®). Further on, keep left to reach a large private picnic table, which the owner has made available to respectful members of the public.
(7) Then return to the junction and turn left. Follow the yellowPR®® signposting, passing one junction and then walking along a cliff. Then keep to the right until you are close to the road. Continue straight on at the next junction until you reach a crossroads.
(8) Head left towards the Croix de Suchot.
(9) Then return to the junction by following the route in reverse.
(8) Turn left, then left again onto the tarmac road until you reach the start of a footpath.
(10) Keep left to follow a steeply descending path: in wet weather, watch out for slippery patches. You’ll arrive at Baumes-les-Messieurs; walk through the imposing abbey to return to the car park (S/E).
