Parking: Place du 8 Mai.
Markings: Yellow ("Randol" sign on the square).
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the café, take Rue des Farges opposite. Cross Rue Côte Gros Jean and continue along Rue de la Boucherie to the church.
Go around the church on the left, turn right and continue to Place de l'Ormeau. Pass by the foot of the castle and continue straight on Rue de la Chantelle.
(1) At the crossroads (chapel), turn left onto Rue Principale. After about 150 metres, turn left onto Chemin du Bec. Ignore all turnings on the left and continue to Route de Champeix (D28).
(2) At Route de Champeix (D28), turn left and, after 50 metres, turn right onto Route de Randol (D28A). At a fork, stay on the road and ignore the turn-off on the right. After about 300 metres, take the path on the left. Climb up through the woods, ignore a turn-off on the left and rejoin the D28A near a large cross.
(3) Follow the road to the left towards the abbey car parks (pass to the right of the cross). At the three-way junction, go right and cross the car park. At the next three-way junction, turn left, pass close to the water reservoir and continue to the junction with a path coming from the abbey.
(4) Then turn right twice and head north-northwest. Cross a ladder over the fences (elevation 695). About a hundred metres further on, ignore a path on the right. Pass under the power lines and cross a grazing area that descends and then climbs up to a hedge separating two grassy areas (PR® sign on a tree).
(5) At the sign (note that the sign is ambiguous), climb over the hedge and turn right. Follow the path that winds through the wild broom and joins a track (several gates between plots must be opened and closed). At the next junction, take the track on the right. Descend and join a track suitable for vehicles.
(6) Cross the carriageway and continue on the path opposite. Cut across the next cross path (elevation 588) and continue straight ahead. Pass a cistern and cross the Tourelle industrial estate.
(7) Cross the D8 with caution, take the path opposite and immediately take the first path on the right.
Cross a road (elevation 549) and, at a place called Vocan, continue straight ahead.
(8) At the three-way junction, take the path on the right. Ignore the first path on the left and cross Chemin de Naja. At the next junction, turn left. At the next intersection, turn right onto Rue des Granges and head for the car park (S/E).
