(S/E) At the end of the car park, on the right-hand side of the garages, take the small path that runs alongside a stream, which is often dry in summer. The path widens after a few hundred metres and joins a road. Continue straight ahead, crossing the Gimone, the river that runs through the valley.
Pass two turnings on your left, the first about 200 m away and the second 350 m further on. Keep to the right. The path climbs a little then stays at the same height to skirt the hillside. Find a path where the track turns left to climb the hill.
(1) Take the small path that descends to the right. Follow it to a small road (D238) and turn right, at the Calvary at elevation 202. About 100m before the bridge over the Gimone, turn left onto the path and climb up to the next road.
(2) On the right is a wooden Land Art installation called "Yané" ("roof" in Japanese) by the artist Teruhisa, which is worth exploring. Take the path that branches off to the left of the road going uphill. This path turns left to cross a stream and reach the ridge (point 237). Follow it to the right and you will come to a crossroads.
(3) Enjoy the beautiful view, then follow the road on the left until the next junction with the D238. Follow the road for a few metres to the right, then take the path on the left. At the top of the path (point 294), before the farm buildings, you will arrive at your destination.
(4) Follow the path on the right that goes around the buildings, join a path that branches off to the right and reach the next farm.
(5) Go around the farm on a path on the left along the ridge, then, at the edge of the woods, take the path that descends to the right and then left again after about 100 metres. Continue straight ahead between two fields and you will reach a small wood.
(6) Keep left on the path that follows the ridge between two fields. At the end of the path on the right, the path turns and descends to the right. Walk along the left side of a building and join the road.

(7) Keep left and continue to Simorre. At the entrance, cross the Gimone. Keep right and, opposite the wash house, turn left onto Rue Longue. At the end of this road, first turn left then right and continue along Rue Paul Saint-Martin. Turn left onto Rue de la Mairie and continue to Place du Foirail (S/E).
