We shortened the hike by starting from Beaumont de Pertuis and joining the trail at L'Escarenne. There is a beautiful view of the snow-capped Alps from the cross at the Sainte-Croix chapel. However, the view of Mirabeau was a bit dark (it was around 2:45 p.m.). The descent is indeed steep and should be avoided in wet weather. It is not recommended for young children (loose stones).

This tour was done during the week, so there weren't many people around. The weather was superb for a picnic at the Chapelle Saint-Croix with a view of Beaumont.

A pleasant route except for the beginning and end on the road; beautiful views near the chapel in particular, with flat areas where you can stop.

Admittedly, there are some beautiful views of the Durance and the Mirabeau Bridge, but the hike is mainly worth doing for the beautiful woodland it passes through: dense, varied vegetation that doesn't seem to have suffered too much from the drought, given how vigorous and lush it is.
It's true that the guidebook could have been a little more explicit, as the paths not to take are not always clearly marked.
Yes, the descent to Beaumont is steep and slippery (rocks and mud are very wet because it has rained a lot in recent days) and therefore requires a lot of attention and walking sticks.

An easy route with no major difficulties, mainly through forest. To park at the start, there is a picnic area not far from the trailhead when you arrive from the Manosque road.

First of all, thank you for this route, which we thoroughly enjoyed in superb weather and... with no wind! However, for parking, it is better to park between point 1 and the return point on the D42 road, on the right after a small ploughed field. This saves a 1 km round trip on the road. When we arrived at the Ste Croix chapel, some reviews advised us to avoid the descent to Beaumont, so we retraced our steps to point 5 and turned right onto the GR9 to Beaumont, which took us through this very pretty village with beautiful houses, a distinctly Provençal atmosphere and a magnificent wash house, quite unusual in its design and well worth seeing. We then rejoined the original route at the Notre-Dame de Beauvoir chapel. The total distance of this route is approximately 14 km, with no difficulty and the pleasure of visiting Beaumont.

A very pleasant route with beautiful paths.
The descent to Beaumont de Pertuis is quite tricky and a little dangerous, so walking sticks are recommended.

Thanks to those who posted this route.

The first part was fine, the directions were good, but after taking the GR trail, we couldn't find the indicated path! Turning right as indicated, we ended up back on the road in a completely different place than planned...

Route consisting mainly of fairly unremarkable tracks
A pointless return trip along the road at the start and finish

An impeccable loop for this time of year (avoid in summer as many of the trails are not shaded).
The landscapes you pass through are varied, with pine trees, oak trees, olive trees, filaria trees, myrtle trees, and more. At times, the route follows old paths steeped in history.
Let's enjoy these unspoilt areas and remember the devastating fire that ravaged the outskirts of Mirabeau last year.
Thanks to the author of this hike

just a comment about the GR markings between points 4 and 5 of the hike. A pylon is marked red and white and tells you to continue straight ahead on the path that goes downhill, but the GR actually turns slightly to the left. The markings are invisible unless you go around the tree
a sign with an arrow to the left would be appropriate
otherwise, it's a nice, challenging hike, but it lacks views
the wine merchant at Domaine Clapier is very friendly
thank you

The hike was rather uninspiring. There were no extraordinary landscapes, only the village of Beaumont de Pertuis was interesting.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion.

Reliability of the route on the map: Average

By "map accuracy", we mean how well the route shown on the map matches the actual route.

Did the route cause any problems? If so, how can this be remedied?

however, the description is not very clear on this point.

Description:

until you reach a T-junction (2), take the track that goes up to the left.

It is clearly written At the T-junction at point no. (2), take the track that goes up to the left

If we had looked at the map a little more closely, we might not have got lost

Yes, it is essential to check the map against the terrain. That's why Visorando provides detailed descriptions and an IGN map at a scale of 1:25,000. And, to top it all off, if you have trouble finding your way, there's a GPS app.

See you soon!
