Pey Cervier Dolmen from Saint-Antonin-du-Var

Strolling amongst the villas, it’s easy to reach the forest tracks and discover that a dolmen has survived the centuries.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to walk along the tarmac to complete a circular route and discover what time has not worn away.

Description of the walk

Park in the Square Jean Fustier car park.

(S/E) Take the Chemin de la Caravane uphill, passing by the village bar-hotel-restaurant.
Continue along this road to the junction by the spring. You can get close to this water source.

(1) Take the Chemin des Clos and then, from the electricity substation, the Chemin de Ginasservis. You will reach the Dourette district.

(2) At the junction, turn right onto the Chemin de Franquese.
Continue along the path that climbs through the woods. At the top of the climb, enjoy the view to the left.

(3) Join the forest road by turning right. You will reach a crossroads by a water tank.

(4) Turn left onto the path, marked with a yellow dolmen sign.
Follow the dolmen markings to the information sign.

(5) Turn slightly left at the sign to take the path that leads a short way into the woods to the dolmen

(6) Return along the same route to the junction by the cistern.

(4) Take the road on the left, leaving it at the Combes crossroads to take the path that follows it. Stay on this path, ignoring the paths branching off to the right or left. Head towards the hamlet of Les Miquelets.

(7) On leaving the hamlet, turn right onto the D250, Route des Miquelets, then Route de Mappe. After crossing the small bridge over the valley.

The last two kilometres between the hamlet of Les Miquelets and the Square Jean Fustier car park
are on the D250, which is quite busy and offers little opportunity to avoid
the road. This section is quite dangerous , so you should plan an alternative route above
the road to avoid this section.

There is too much of the route on tarmac and roads compared to the section on forest tracks. It’s a shame, as the area is beautiful and would benefit from a more suitable trail.

I only did the eastern section of the route, from marker 2 to the A-R dolmen (you can park on the red trail just before marker 2, opposite house no. 1856). A peaceful walk. At the end, the path to the dolmen isn’t easy to find: you need to turn left about 20 metres after the dolmen information sign (at a pine tree with a yellow hiking trail mark on its trunk) and take a small path for 100 metres, which is sometimes a bit overgrown.

The start of the walk is a pleasant path; although it is tarmac, it is very quiet. However, you need to be very careful on the last two kilometres along the main road, which are quite difficult due to the significant amount of traffic and the lack of space for pedestrians.

Hello, I have a comment to make:
the return journey is via the D250 (2 km), which is quite busy and too narrow for two cars.
I sometimes had to walk through a dry stream bed, cut through some brambles, be very careful, etc....
I wouldn’t recommend it for a group.
Perhaps it would be possible either to do a round trip or find another path that avoids the road.
Thanks to everyone
