Coming from Saint-Maximin or Brignoles, enter La Roquebrussane via the first road and follow the sign for 'Jardins d'Elie'. Pass this listed garden and take the track to park at a crossroads with a concrete structure (Chemin des Baumes).
(S/E) Take the track heading north and look for the sign for "La Bastide Verte".
(1) At this guest house, continue along the track to the right and follow it uphill: after a final fork towards some houses (on your left), the track ends and turns into a path that leads into the undergrowth and then into the heath. The path becomes steeper (you may need to use your hands) before arriving, just before a series of caves, above Les Orris (beautiful viewpoint).
(2) Continue along the path, which descends briefly before climbing again to reach the road.
(3) Take the road on the right and follow it. After about 800m, a track branches off to the left: ignore it. You will find it again about 500m further on, where it rejoins the road.
(4) At this junction, take the path on your left which climbs gently south-west-west (marked with blue dots) until you reach another track. Take the path on the left which leads to the lookout.
(5) The lookout tower has been renovated (March 2020) and the view to the west is well worth seeing (view of Mazaugues and Tourves). Return to the track and follow it until you reach the road below the Loube antennas.
(6) Turn right onto the road and take the second track on the left. It quickly turns into a path through the undergrowth that descends, sometimes steeply, towards a low point above Les Eygras.
(7) Continue straight ahead on a path marked in pink/orange and climb up to L'Amarron.
(8) Continue east on a red dirt path and descend until you reach thePR® markings, always taking the paths on the right.
(9) At thePR® junction, the path turns 90° to the right and climbs north-northwest. It eventually slopes downhill. At the first fork, stay on the left-hand path and continue until you reach a forest track at the bottom of a small valley. Opposite, a small concrete cistern has been built.
(10) On the other side, look for a path that climbs westwards. Take this path, which branches off to the right and winds through the arbutus trees. Climb it until you reach the forest track; take it on the left. It climbs then descends to a junction.
(11) Turn right and then right again to continue descending, before starting to climb again.
(12) When the track begins to descend again, taking a sharp left turn, take the path opposite and continue along it. It follows the contour line until it reaches the Pas de la Nible, at a forest track that descends sharply to the right and climbs slightly to the left.
(13) Take the track on the left and continue along it; it descends and then climbs again until it reaches a fenced enclosure, from where a well-marked path starts, running along the fence on the left.
(14) Take this path opposite, which winds its way up and down and arrives at the Notre-Dame de la Roquebrussane Chapel.
(15) Descend from the chapel via the wide path, walk past the 'Les Arbousiers' holiday village on your right and join the tarmac road.
(16) Immediately turn right onto the track that descends and continue straight ahead; it climbs back up to the car park (S/E).
