Examples: From D to 1, there is another hiking signpost in the village. We thought it was the one for route 2...
§2: Do not follow the track to the entrance of the coniferous woodland: you enter a chestnut woodland after the coniferous woodland.
§2 “Follow the DFCI track”. It is not signposted...
§6: it is not a footbridge, but a bridge (but we didn’t think twice about 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 walk straight past the cross.
(1) Take the track leading uphill to the right, then turn left to reach a large gate that is often open (leave it as it is).
(2) Hiking signpost: follow the DFCI track to the left and, after 50 m, take the path on the right which runs parallel to the track at the start. After about 500 m, rejoin this same track and follow it to the right until the path enters the coniferous woodland.
(3) No obvious path but marked in white and yellow. Climb a steep slope up the hillside, then turn left to reach the ridge overlooking the Salindre Valley.
Enjoy the splendid views over Prades and the Col l’Escrinet, then Saint-Cirgues de Prades, the Jaujac pass, with the Rocher d’Abraham in the background to the left, stretching as far as the Pics de Lardenne and Courcousat. On the other side, views of the Aubenas Basin, the Vercors and the Alps on a clear day. Follow this rollercoaster-like ridge to a small pass where you will find a signpost.
(4) Turn left and head down the path. Once you reach the DFCI track, veer left and continue until you take a path on the right. You’ll pass by a stone sculptor’s home, with some of his works along the way.
(5) Turn right. After about 400m, the path crosses a small road and leads to the hamlet of La Valette on the D335 road to your left (take care despite the light 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, following the houses (on your right). The path descends gently (with stone walls still visible) to a bridge.
(7) Head back up towards a clearly visible gate; then head towards the hamlet of Les Ladets. Below, you can see an old silk mill known as La Fabrique du Cros, which closed around 1930.
(8) Walk through this small hamlet and turn left onto a path that will take you above the hamlet of Fabrias after crossing a small road.
(9) At the “Fabrias” signpost, turn left (towards “the village, Lentillères”) and tackle the final steep climb.
(10) Turn right and follow the track. 700 m further on, turn right in front of a house and reach a junction at the Col de l'Eyrolle (D335).
(11) Cross the junction and continue towards "Valasoude"; after about 200 m, you’ll reach the gamekeepers’ lodge.
(12) Turn right to follow the path that runs to the left of the hut, leading to the hamlet of Le Village, which you passed on the way out.
(1) Head down to the right along the path you took on the way there until you reach the car park (S/E).
