Park in the Col de Viarès car park, on the left-hand side of the road.
(S/E) Cross the road and head south-west along the path through the vineyards. Continue until you reach the junction with a dirt track.
(1) Turn left onto the path and follow it, ignoring all side paths to the left or right, until you reach the junction marked by the ‘La Montagne’ signpost.
(2) Turn left onto theGR®®4, signposted in red and white. Walk through the vineyards, then enter the woods and reach the junction by the Saint-Didier chapel.
(3) Turn right to reach the chapel. Return to the crossroads and turn right back onto theGR®®4. Continue to Sophie’s hut.
(4) Leave theGR®® here and turn right onto the path through the vineyards. This is the ‘Sentier de découverte’, which offers panoramic views of the region and the vineyards. You will then enter Rasteau.
(5) Turn left up the Pied Bresson hill, passing the cemetery. Then turn right onto the path that descends through the vineyards. Continue along this route, which also forms part of the Botanical Trail. You’ll reach a hairpin bend.
(6) Leave the tarmac road here via the hairpin bend to the right. At the next junction, take the path on the left which climbs alongside the vineyards; then, when you reach the crossroads, take the dirt track leading off to the left.
(7) Follow the Botanical Trail to the right, heading north-north-west, up a fairly steep slope. At the junction, after the picnic area, take the path leading off to the right to reach the crossroads where the Discovery Trail and the Botanical Trail meet.
(8) Turn left onto the Botanical Trail and, through the vineyards, return to the Col de Viares car park (S/E).
