Park in Monieux, in the car park near the Route de la Nesque (D942), above the crossroads where the "Monieux, Chemin du Lac" bus stop is located.
(S/E) Take the stairs that go up to the left of the bus stop. Turn left into the street, then take Rue du Pré d'Estève and immediately turn right into Rue du Portail Meunier. After about 20 metres, turn left into Grande Rue. Climb the stairs on the left that start near the oratory dedicated to Sant Antoni de Pado.
Continue along the marked path that climbs opposite towards Combe de Saint-André. Caution: steep and exposed sections. Arrive at the signpost for "Combe de Saint-André".
(1) Take the marked path on the right that climbs up Combe de Saint-André towards La Croix de Fer. At the top of the combe, walk along a fence and you will come to a tarmac road (D1A).
(2) Cross the road, enter the meadow opposite, and turn left onto the marked path through the woods. Further on, rejoin the road and follow it to the right for about 100 metres. Opposite, take the marked path through the woods that runs alongside the road.
(3) After about 100 metres, when the path moves away from the road, turn left at a cairn onto a path that descends. Follow this path until you reach the bottom of the Combe de Coste Chaude.
(4) Turn left onto the track at the bottom of the valley. Follow this track, heading south-west, until you come out at a bend in the Route de la Nesque (D942).
(5) Walk carefully along this road, going up the bend to the left. Further on, after a right-hand bend, it turns north-west. Continue for about 250 m and, before a sharp left-hand bend, you will come to the start of a path on the left just before the low wall that borders the bend.
(6) Turn left onto this path at the start of a slope lined with standing stones. Climb up several hairpin bends through the pine trees. A few metres after hunting post no. 1 (and about 30 metres before the end of the path), take the path that climbs diagonally to the right. This leads to some clearings. Cross over and join the access path to the old Braillon farm.
(7) Take this path to the right. Follow a wide bend to the right, then a slightly tighter bend to the left. In a wider part of this bend, turn right onto a path that climbs through the undergrowth. Follow this old communal path along a low wall. Continue to the left at a break in the wall and continue to the top.
(8) Cross a grassy track at the top. When you reach a fork in the tracks, go straight ahead for about 100 metres. Leave the track at the next right-hand bend and take the wooded path on the left. You will arrive at the hamlet of Flaoussier. Pass between the houses and join a track.
(9) Turn left onto this track. Go past the right-hand bend and then, at the next left-hand bend, leave the track and take the path on the right between the brambles. You will come to a track. Go straight ahead to the entrance to a field, then take the path immediately on the left. At the top, you will join the GRP® Massif du Ventoux marked trail.
(10) Follow it straight ahead. It descends towards Monieux, offering panoramic views of the Nesque valley. Enter Monieux and come out onto Rue du Pré d'Estève. Continue straight ahead towards the centre of the village, then quickly turn right onto the stairs that descend to the car park (S/E).
