Shortly after Touët-sur-Var, park at Pont du Cians in the small car park on your right.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, carefully head up the Route des Basses Gorges du Cians opposite until you reach the first junction and marker 190.
(1) Turn left and begin the steady but gradual climb towards the first chapel, the Chapelle Saint-Joseph. The path is wooded and well-marked. Continue to the next junction and marker 189.
(2) Turn right towards the Chapelle Saint-Sauveur. On the way, pass by the ruins of the Chapelle Notre-Dame, which offers a splendid view of the gorges and the peaks of the Estéron: Monts Brune, Vial, etc. Arrive at the Chapelle Saint-Sauveur.
(3) Take the road on the left towards the Saint-Julien Chapel for about 200 m until you reach the stream.
(4) Take the path on the right, still heading towards the Chapelle Saint-Julien. Walk across the Plateau de Dina, passing a few old farmhouses and the remains of terraced fields. Continue to the next junction.
(5) Turn right towards the chapel. Continue straight on when you reach the track. Keep going until you reach the Chapelle Saint-Julien: open to visitors (see Practical Information). The well-maintained site offers a beautiful view and makes for a very pleasant picnic spot.
(6) Then retrace your steps, take the path straight ahead, and return to the junction you passed on the way out.
(5) Continue straight ahead. At the track, turn right and join the tarmac road.
(7) Cross it and continue your descent. You will reach marker 189.
(2) Continue downhill and return to the starting point via the reverse route of the outward journey (S/E).
