Park in one of the car parks to the right or left of the D11 at the entrance to the village of Curienne.
(S/E) Staying on the D11, walk past the back of the church, then turn left onto the Chemin de la Roche for 100 metres.
Turn right onto Chemin de la Côte and then right again onto Chemin des Fontanettes, which leads down to the D11.
Take the D11 on the left for about 500 metres.
(1) After the house, turn immediately left onto the Chemin de la Paraie. Alternating between woodland and open country and at a virtually constant altitude, this beautiful path leads peacefully, in half an hour, to the Stèle du Maquis and the Ferme des Résistants (signpost)
(2) Continue for 300 m along the path as it climbs towards the Col du Joueret until you reach the “Chemin de Bellevarde” junction (signpost).
(3) Turn left. After a hairpin bend to the right, you’ll come to a fork in the path.
(4) Ignore the path branching off to the left towards La Combette and continue straight on until you reach a Fork in the road marked by the signpost for “Le Joueret”.
(5) Turn right towards Mont Saint-Michel. The route is then clearly signposted. Continue to the “Combe du Puits” junction.
(6) Do not take the signposted route to Mont Saint-Michel via Montmermet, but follow the sign for Mont Saint-Michel (30 mins).
You will first come to the ruins of the old chapel, where there are information boards about the old and new chapels.
Continuing southwards along the narrow path, you’ll reach the new chapel at Mont Saint-Michel in under 5 minutes.
(7) Head back down the same path. Ignore the path leading off to the right towards La Boiserette and return to the crossroads you passed earlier.
(6) Turn right towards Montmerlet. You’ll come out onto a tarmac road. Follow it to the left for 500 m until you reach a rest area.
(8) At the entrance to the rest area, take a path marked in yellow and red on the right – the GRP® of the Massif des Bauges (Leysse Circular Route) – which crosses the small tarmac road several times and leads back to the D11. Then continue left for a few hundred metres to return to the starting point (S/E).
