From Bourdeaux, head towards Nyons. The start point is at the junction with the Route des Tonils.
(S/E) From the car park at the Pont de Soubrion signpost, walk 500m along Route des Tonils (D195) towards the north-east and take the first path on the right.
(1) Ford the Soubrion river, pass beneath the Siraillot house, then turn left in front of the large rock. Continue along the path which branches off to the right and enters the woodland. Climb up to a small ridge, then continue along the path that winds its way through the conifers. Then turn left onto a wide path to reach Les Servins, pass in front of the house and reach the D330.
(2) Take the road to the right and, after more than 500m, pass in front of a large farm building. At thesecond bend, leave the road and head right onto the open area, then take the path to the left below.
(3) Walk past the Le Pérouty signpost and continue towards the Chapelle Saint-Jean.
(4) Cross the small stream and head up the slope opposite; after about 100m, take the path on the left. Join the tarmac road, follow it to the left and, at the next junction, turn right after the house.
Admire the Chapelle Saint-Jean, an11th-century Romanesque church, on your right.
(5) At the chapel, head down to the right onto the road and, immediately afterwards, take the path on the right. Go through a gate (please close it behind you) to cross a pasture. Continue over the marl and through the boxwood before reaching the ridge.
(6) Reach the D70 and turn right onto it. Continue (with caution) to reach the starting point shortly afterwards (S/E).
A very pleasant route for the average walker; best done when it’s not too hot or sunny.
