Park at the side of Chemin de Nartette, not far from the entrance to Don Bosco College.
(S/E) Head towards the entrance to the private road for the Don Bosco College and take the track on the right that leads between the wooden fences to the Nartette estate.
Leave the track that leads directly to the farmhouse on your left and turn right towards the north, along the vineyard on your left.
(1) At the top of the vineyard, leave the path that descends the sandy hill on your right and continue straight ahead on the track under the pine trees that runs north along the vineyard.
Follow this track, which after 500 m will bend northwards and then north-eastwards. After another 500 m, you will come to a clearing where you can see the villas of La Madrague. This is a very sandy area. You can guess that this is where the sand that covers the hill higher up to the south came from.
Continue along this track and, after about 400 metres, turn right at the fork. Turn right again at the next fork to soon arrive at an open esplanade to the south, where you will find the main track, which you should take towards the west.
Stay on this main track and, after a sharp left turn and then another sharp right turn, drive along the rocks on your left. You will then come out at the end of a clearing planted with olive trees, near the SCM1 cistern (Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer no. 1).
(2) Turn left at this cistern and climb the steep, very rocky track for about 250 metres.
(3) Take a path on the left that heads east between the bushes, leading to a rocky promontory that will be your first viewpoint over the Baumelles estate and La Cadière.
Return to the track.
(3) This becomes a path that you take along the ridge towards the south-west. About a hundred metres further on, make a small detour to the right to climb up to the viewpoint and enjoy the 360° panoramic view (second viewpoint).
(4) Return to the ridge trail and follow it to the right towards the west for about 500 m. The trail is mostly very rocky, sometimes slippery, sometimes cluttered with roots. Continue to the top of the sand hill (Natura 2000 information sign).
(5) Continue straight ahead for about 100 m to enjoy the third viewpoint, overlooking La Madrague and Les Lecques. Retrace your steps.
(5) Go down the sandy slope on the right, which has been laid out by Natura 2000 with chicanes and designated paths.
(1) Resume the route along the vineyard, turn left to rejoin the road, then left again to reach the car park alongside it (S/E).
