Start at the Fontaine des Bormes in Faubourg REYRE.
(S/E) The path follows theGR®®6for a good half of the walk.
Head up the road away from the town centre, leaving the wayside shrine on your left; the road bends to the right.
At the junction, turn left towards the Fontaine de Gillouse.
Cross the Canal des Heaths.
(1) At the Fontaine de Gillouse, take the path opposite towards Lamanon.
After 400 m, at the junction the path branches off to the left; continue to follow theGR®®6. The path is well signposted; you will follow the high-voltage power line for a while.
(2) You’ll arrive at the top by the black pylon; turn left and then right 50 m further on.
After the antenna, turn right; you are still on theGR®®6, so carry on.
(3) Take care on a large downhill bend: take theGR®®6which branches off to the right. (You can rejoin it at the next junction by turning right).
Walk past the cistern; on the left, follow theGR®®6to the Calès Caves.
Please note: a local by-law prohibits access to the site following rockfalls
You can find information and a map of the site on the Calès-Saint Denis Association blog; the address is given in the practical information section.
(4) Take the stony path that descends towards Lamanon. You are no longer on theGR®®6. Once you reach the car park, take the path “La Montée de Calès” downhill. At the bottom, at Place du Cabaret, turn right onto the main street.
Pass the church and the castle; you are now on the Route d’Eyguières.
(5) Take the path on the right at the signpost. This is an educational trail. Follow the main path. After 1,500 metres, you will first come to a wide path under a high-voltage power line; continue straight on to the end of the path.
(6) Turn right, pass the cistern; after 15 metres you’ll reach a junction with three paths; take the one furthest to the left.
Follow the path for 2,000 m; at a junction, keep to the right.
(7) You’ll come to a graffiti-covered water point; take the concrete road that climbs to the right. After 10 m, there’s a small path branching off to the left; follow it. At the end of the path (which descends to the left), take the path branching off to the right. Continue along the path,
(8) Take the small path that runs alongside the private properties.
