The starting point is the town hall of Saint-Privat-de-Champclos. To find it, coming from Barjac, take the D979 then the D266 on the left. Continue for a few kilometres until you reach the town hall. Coming from Saint-Ambroix, take the D51 towards Barjac and turn right onto the D266.
There is a large car park in front of the town hall.
(S/E) From the car park, join the D266 and turn left. After a few dozen metres, turn right onto a road towards Saint-Sébastien. Yellow markings. Take the first road on the right, which quickly becomes a footpath.
(1) Take the first path on the left downhill. Follow it to the small village of Russargues. Cross the village, then take the first street on the left.
(2) Cross the D266 and at the next crossroads (calvary), first turn left then right to follow the road to the village of Cabiac.
(3) At the entrance to the village, take the first street on the right and then the first street on your left. After a few dozen metres, at a Y junction, turn left onto the street which turns into a path and descends to the right into a small valley. Once you reach the bottom (elevation 144), follow the yellow markings which take you along a path opposite that climbs steadily.
Continue to follow the yellow markings until you reach an intersection where you will join a wide track.
(4) Continue to the right. The track quickly descends in large hairpin bends as it approaches the Cèze. Then follow the path on the right to the bottom to reach the hermitage of Saint-Ferréol and the banks of the Cèze.
(5) Return to the path, cross the track and take a path on the right. Stay on this path until you reach a crossroads.
(6) At the signpost, turn left towards Saint-Privat via the Roland trail.
From this point, the slope becomes steeper, then flattens out. Cross the Serre de Combe Longue. The well-marked trail joins the Lac du Mas area and then a road.
(7) Take this road to the right. Pass in front of the Camping du Clos des Capitelles campsite, then ignore two paths on the left.
(8) At the right-hand bend just after, turn left onto the DFCI L2 track. Follow this track, which turns right at a major junction. Continue along it for a few metres and then turn opposite, as the track branches off to the left. You will reach a Y-junction.
(9) Turn right to reach the ruined castle of Ferreyrolles. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Céze gorges here.
(10) Return to the Y-junction.
(9) Take the path on the right, which gradually descends more steeply. You will come to a wide track.
(11) Turn left onto this track. This is the Combe du Duc discovery trail. Follow it for quite a long way until you reach a wide crossroads.
(12) Turn right, walk for about 100 metres, then turn left onto a small path. This path crosses vineyards and leads to a place called Les Taulelles, where it joins a road. Take this road on the left and follow it to the D266. Take this road on the left to the town hall (S/E).
