From Plan de Baix (Omblèze), follow the D578 (a fairly narrow, winding road) towards the Gorges d'Omblèze. The gorges are regularly signposted along the road.
At the Moulin de la Pipe intersection (inn, restaurant), turn right and follow the D578A for 1 km to reach the dirt car park, turning right before the hamlet of Ansage.
(S/E) From the car park, start the hike with a round trip to the Cascade de la Druise.
(1) Take the winding path (yellow-green markings) and descend to the Gervanne river.

(7) Descend to the right and reach the canyon at the bottom of the valley.

There are numerous cairns along the route (45 mins), which give this setting a very special atmosphere. Continue climbing up the canyon until you reach the bridge (a new bridge stands next to the old stone bridge, which is partly destroyed).
