Park in the car park in front of the Tourist Office in Cavaillon.
(S/E) Take the stairs to the right of the Tourist Office, towards the Via Ferrata. The path climbs up, offering beautiful views of Cavaillon and the entire eastern part of the department, then leads to the Colline Saint-Jacques plateau at a cross.
(1) Take the unmarked path on the left, which offers views of the Durance valley. Then head back up towards the houses, pass between the house called Flamor and another property, then the path continues along other properties.
When you reach a paved road on a bend, continue straight ahead, join the Chemin des Cabanes and continue straight ahead until you reach the junction with the Chemin de l'Hermitage.
(2) Turn left (yellow signpost). Continue to the Oppidum de Saint-Jacques car park, which is 250 m further on the left.
(3) Cross the car park, turning left, and follow the sign for "Chemin de Promenade", which leads down into the valley on the right.
(4) After a few steps, ignore the trail on the left. The trail climbs a little and then skirts around the hollow of the valley, making a wide left turn. A little further on, at a fork, ignore the trail on the right that climbs uphill and take the one on the left that descends (cairn).
Climb a few steps, pass two large pylons on your right and continue on the main path. At the next junction, descend to the left (cairn).
When you reach the Sentier de Promenade sign, do not follow it but turn left. 100 m further on, another fork with two large stones invites you to take the path that climbs to the right. Continue along this path.
(5) Before reaching a gate that joins the Saint-Jacques path, take a path that descends to the left to reach the Saint-Jacques walking car park. Continue straight ahead, cross the car park and follow the road to the left downhill for 50 m, then cross it to find a path to the right of this road.
Continue along this path, which runs alongside the fence of a property, and go around the hill. Stay on the main path, ignoring the small paths that branch off to the right and left. After climbing back up, at a fork, turn left onto the Sentier de Promenade.
Further on, go down some wooden steps, then after a short climb, you will arrive at the stele marking the passage in Tranchée
(6). Turn right. Pass the stele Les Traces de Char, climb up to follow and join the Chemin de Saint-Jacques at the stele La Draille Antique. Continue straight ahead (leaving the Chemin des Chênes Verts on your left) and return to the car park you passed on the way out.
(3) Continue straight ahead on the Chemin de l'Hermitage, ignoring the paths on either side.
(2) Reach the Saint-Jacques Chapel.
(7) Turn left and head towards the edge of the cliff above Cavaillon and the Via Ferrata. Follow the cliff to enjoy views of the town and the via ferrata.
Turn around, pass the chapel and return to the cross you passed on the way there.
(1) Go down the stairs on the left to the car park (S/E).
