Fontvieille Tourist Office car park (paid parking).
(S/E) With the Tourist Office on your left, go up the car park towards the south, then continue along the wall of a property (yellow and blue markings).
After crossing the small stream, the signs turn left towards Moulin Tissot - Moulin Avon to go around Moulin de Daudet on the left.
N.B. If you are feeling impatient, you can visit the mill, but this visit is planned for the end of the tour.
At the crossroads, take the path opposite (the leftmost of all), marked in yellow and by a sign for "Château de Montauban". After about 100m, make a short detour to the left to see what remains of the Ramet mill (1).
Back on the path, continue for 200 metres to find the Tissot or Avon mill on the left (2).
50 m after the mill, at the crossroads, turn right towards Les Baux de Provence on theGR® trail, which you will follow for about 3 kilometres.
The trail passes over an old Roman road, recognisable by the wheel tracks embedded in the rock. A little further on, a trail branches off to the left along a wall (yellow markings) or continues for a few metres and then branches off further to the left onto a better trail (marked in red and white). The two trails rejoin a little further on, so it doesn't matter which one you take. Please note that only theGR® route appears on the map at this point.
At a crossroads along the houses, ignore the yellow markings on the right and left and continue on theGR® trail. After 500m, you will come to a large crossroads.
(3) Take the marked track on the left, ignoring the three paths on the right. About 400m further on, the track will soon be joined by another coming from the left. Continue on the track, ignoring all the paths that branch off, pass in front of cistern no. 138 and continue straight ahead, ignoring the paths on either side.
(4) When theGR® starts to turn left, head right onto the path that descends (yellow signposting). Start the descent into the valley, quickly leaving a path on the right and then one on the left. About 300 m further on, follow the path that slopes to the left and arrive at a crossroads just before an aqueduct.
(5) Turn right onto an ascending path that leads to the edge of a canal. Follow the path on the right that runs alongside the canal until you reach an esplanade marked with a parking sign.
(6) Turn left and quickly join a small paved road (D82). Follow it to the right for about 600 metres.
(7) After a raised section, turn right onto the path. Cross the canal and turn left onto the path that runs alongside it. Further on, a passage allows you to cross the canal and follow it on the other side. Join a wide path.
(8) Turn left for 100 metres to rejoin the tarmac road. Turn right and follow this road to the aqueduct. Turn left just before it and follow it until you find a notch in the rock offering a panoramic view of the ruins of the Roman mill.
(9) Retrace your steps and walk along the ruins until you reach the tarmac road. Follow it to the right until you reach the junction you passed on the way there. Turn left for 100m until you reach the end of the path coming from the canal.
(8) Continue straight ahead, cross the canal and you will soon reach another crossroads. Turn left onto the path and follow the blue and yellow markings. Ignore the small paths and stay on the main path. At the next T-junction, turn left. Ignore the crossroads 100m further on and continue straight ahead.
(10) At the next junction, turn right and follow the D65 for a short while. Pass a car park and continue along the marked path until you reach another car park.
(11) Go through the gate and take the path on the right which leads to a large crossroads. Turn left in the direction indicated towards the Daudet mill, following the blue and yellow signs. After 150m, at a picnic area, take the path on the right. After 300 metres, you will see the long-awaited mill on your left.
Turn left and, after a short steep climb, you will arrive at the Moulin de Daudet Moulin de Ribet (12).
Choose one of the paths on the left (several tracks have been marked by numerous visitors) and follow them until you reach a sign for Moulin Sourdon.
Follow the sign on the left towards the road, cross it and climb up to the left along a small path to the mill. Climb up into the mill to reach an orientation table under its roof (13).
Go back down to the road via the same path and follow it to the left until you reach the car park (S/E).
