District:
Park at the Font Blanche car park on the D3d, which connects the Col de l'Ange to Ceyreste and the Route des Lavandes.
(S/E) Head south.
(1) Turn left towards the well-markedGR® trail.
(2) Once at the top of the short climb, head right. You will come to a track; follow it downhill.
(3) At the bend, go straight ahead and walk alongside an equestrian centre with beautiful horses in the meadows. Continue south and you will come to a wide path, which you follow for 400 metres.
(4) Turn right and start climbing.
(5) At the left-hand bend, find a track that you need to descend on the right. Continue for 1 km, then climb a short slope on the left.
(6) Cross the road carefully and take a concrete firebreak track on the left that climbs steeply. Follow this for 2 km. Enjoy the view.
(7) Arrive at the Chapelle Saint-André and visit the surrounding area. Take a path heading south, which begins with a short climb. Follow this path for over 1 km, ignoring the paths branching off to the right and left.
(8) Arrive at the Montounier ridge. It's a shame that the vegetation spoils the view at the summit a little. Turn right and begin the descent to the junction with theGR®51and 98.
(9) Follow theGR® 98 on the left towards Grand Caunet. You can leave the overheated track by taking a path under the pine trees on the left a little further down, at a cistern and aPR® that descends towards Ceyreste. This will take you to the Grand Caunet car park, where there is a lovely shaded picnic area where you can enjoy a comfortable meal.
(10) Cross the road carefully and follow aPR® opposite the car park, which runs alongside an equestrian centre.
(11) After 300 m, turn onto a path on the right.
(12) After another 600 m, turn left to rejoin the PR®.
(13) After 400 m, follow thePR® on the left, which descends towards the fork in the road on the way out.
(5) Take the same route back to return to the Font Blanche car park (S/E).
