Examples: From D to 1, there is another hiking signpost in the village. We thought it was the one for 2...
§2: do not follow the track to the entrance to the coniferous forest: enter a chestnut forest after the coniferous forest.
§2 "Follow the DFCI track." It is not signposted...
§6: this is not a footbridge, but a bridge (but we didn't question it!).
(S/E) From the car park near the cemetery, turn right, cross the D335, take the path that climbs up to the hamlet of Le Village and go straight past the cross.
(1) Take the track going up on the right, then turn left to reach a large gate that is often open (leave it as it is).
(2) At the hiking signpost, follow the DFCI track to the left and after 50 m, take the path on the right that runs parallel to the track at its start. After about 500 m, rejoin the same track and follow it on the right until you reach the entrance to the path through the conifers.
(3) There is no visible path but it is marked with white and yellow signs. Climb up a steep slope and then turn left to reach the ridge overlooking the Salindre Valley.
Enjoy the splendid views of Prades and the Col l'Escrinet, then Saint-Cirgues de Prades, the Coupe de Jaujac, at the bottom of the Rocher d'Abraham on the left, and the Pics de Lardenne and Courcousat. On the other side, you can see the Bassin d'Aubenas, the Vercors and the Alps on a clear day. Follow this rollercoaster ridge to a small pass where you will find a hiking signpost.
(4) Turn left and go down the path. When you reach the DFCI track, turn left and continue until you come to a path on your right. You will pass the home of a stone sculptor with some of his works on display.
(5) Turn right. After about 400 metres, the path crosses a small road and leads to the hamlet of La Valette on the D335 road on your left (take care despite the lack of traffic). Follow this road for 1 km to the hamlet of Le Cros.
(6) Just at the entrance to the hamlet, take the path on the right and after the cross, cross the hamlet on the left, keeping the houses on your right. The path descends gently (water channels still visible) to a bridge.
(7) Go back up towards a clearly visible gate, then head towards the hamlet of Les Ladets. Below, you can see an old mill called La Fabrique du Cros, which closed around 1930.
(8) Cross this small hamlet and take a path on the left which will take you above the hamlet of Fabrias after crossing a small road.
(9) At the "Fabrias" signpost, turn left (towards "le village, Lentillères") and tackle the last steep climb.
(10) Turn right and follow the track. After 700 m, turn right in front of a house and continue to the crossroads at Col de l'Eyrolle (D335). Cross the road and continue towards "Valasoude". After about 200 m, you will arrive at the hunters' lodge.
(11) Turn right to follow the path that passes to the left of the hut leading to the hamlet of Village that you passed on the way there.
(1) Descend to the right along the same path you took on the way there until you reach the car park (S/E).
