Take the D546 to the Col de Mévouillon. At an altitude of 889 metres, coming from Mévouillon, turn right onto the Chemin des Chanaux, pass the farm on your right and continue to the paragliding meeting point car park, signposted ‘Pied du Buc’. There are several parking spaces.
Note: The track may not be passable for cars in winter, so you will need to park at the Col de Mévouillon and continue on foot.
(S/E) From the car park, ignore the fairly steep stony track heading due south and continue along the path to the Mourès sign.
(1) Caution! At this junction, ignore the path branching off to the right and the one rising slightly to the left; continue straight ahead. At first, this path is less visible than the other two, but a few metres further on, it becomes a wide track leading up to the Col des Arles.
(2) Leave the path here and take a track that climbs to the left, just before reaching the signpost. This track, which closely resembles the ancient Via Romana, becomes quite steep just before reaching the Col du Lac.
(3) Ignore the path branching off to the left and continue straight on to the junction.
(4) Turn left and walk for about 300 m to the lavender field. Take the path on the right leading to Collet Court, the summit of Montagne du Buc, which is not very visible at first as it runs alongside the lavender field, but widens considerably further on. The scenery is spectacular!
(5) At the summit, enjoy the exceptional views before beginning the descent to the junction with a wide path branching off to the right.
(6) Then turn right onto the fairly wide, winding path, which descends gently to a junction.
(7) Ignore the path branching off to the right and continue left, along the forest track to the T-junction.
(8) Take the path that climbs to the left, then descends slightly to the right. You will reach a track; follow it up to the left and head for the car park (S/E).
