A 2-hour walk with a dog (Malinois). No particular difficulty for regular hikers.

For this magnificent route, the return journey is extremely difficult and, moreover, uninteresting in terms of the landscape. It is better to return via the other side.

Hello hikers, sorry for your difficulty in finding the starting point of the hike, which is essential, I agree.
However, there is a very simple way to get to the start of a hike.
1 Download the VisoRando app to your smartphone (if you haven't already done so).
2 Select the hike you want to do using the search function
3 Select "Go to the starting point of the hike" (once the desired hike is displayed).
Visorando will open your smartphone's GPS (often Waze), which will take you to the start of the hike (often a car park).
Best regards, Patrick

we took the wrong route for the walk: we still didn't understand where we were supposed to start. As a result, we had to walk longer and on a very difficult and rocky path before finding ourselves at TAOUME.

A beautiful hike classified as moderate due to the fairly steep climb after the circular route from point 3 to point 4.
The circular route from point 3 is difficult to find, even with GPS, unless you keep your nose glued to it: although the start of the path is visible, the small cairn marking the continuation of the route is not easy to see.

Access to the starting point is extremely complicated during busy times and parking is more than uncertain as the area is very popular with hikers. It's a shame that nothing has been planned by the city or the department...

A lovely little hike in the hills. We discovered a new route that was really nice.

Be careful, though, as access to the starting point is one-way and a bit narrow! The junction is tricky...

A very beautiful hike under a blue sky, which I would describe as easy to moderate in terms of the short climb. We went as far as the Grosibou cave. A magnificent view of Marseille, Notre Dame, and the Stade Vélodrome. Then over all the hills of Garlaban. Worth doing again and again. Very narrow roads to get to the car park at the start ⚠️

The start was very promising, but the forest rangers did not let us go very far, given the risk of fire...
So we can't say much...

Hello,
We made it to the starting point but weren't sure if it was the right one because it was poorly marked. We continued our hike, but nothing matched the description. We were very hesitant to continue along the trail. Then we found a small shelter with a cave and a taoumé, but we weren't sure if it was the right place either. So we continued according to the map, but we didn't take the right path, we strayed from the plan and retraced our steps. We tried many times to understand how to follow the route that would take us to Jas de Baptisto and took another path that seemed to be the right one, but we strayed from the route again. We ended up abandoning the route. The directions are very poor. It would be good to mark the routes with colours, for example yellow for the start and blue for the end. We were disappointed not to be able to complete the route. Several paths branch off to the right and left. It's not easy.

Strange, yet the trail is well marked with no risk of getting lost. Have you used the Visorando app, which allows you to follow the route in real time?
Best regards

Hello,

in the opposite direction to the route described by "Bastide Neuve"
Reliability of the description: Disappointing

Isn't that a bit contradictory?

Identification of the path descending after the Pas du Loup... unlikely, we missed it. After turning around, we finally took it...

Indeed, in the opposite direction, it is not obvious.

Then it was difficult to identify the right path... and after several hesitations and back-and-forths, we found it by chance (...)

Visorando provides a detailed description and a 1:25,000 IGN map. And if you get lost during your hike, Visorando provides a free virtual trail marker: a GPS app.

This tool, offered free of charge by Visorando, allows you to validate waypoints and thus remove any doubts about your direction.

See you soon!
