We didn’t have any problems at the start of the route;
but from point 8 onwards we couldn’t see the markings and the path was hard to find.
So we went back to the road to rejoin the path at point 10.
What a shame

A lovely route
Circular route featuring forests, marl formations and scenic viewpoints
Points to note: the two ravines, including the Fourmeresse ravine, which has a step where you have to take a 70–80 cm jump to cross the stream
The other ravine, Pré Soubeyran, is equipped with a rope but is also not easy to cross for some people

Hello, I went on this hike today, 18 April 2023. Everything was great, but I have a few comments: 1) Before WPT 3, there is a heavily eroded ravine; a handrail is needed to get across.
2) The Chemin de la Plane (WPT 8) is rarely used and can be difficult to follow through the overgrown broom. In particular, from the bend after the bridge, as you head up towards waypoint 9, and between waypoints 9 and 10, it’s clear that the local sheep farmer no longer wants people to pass through there and has fenced off the path with numerous sheep pens, so crossing them is at your own risk! Ultimately, from the bridge onwards, it’s better to stick to the road and take the second shortcut after the ASTOIN farm, on the right, which is well signposted and in good condition – but for how long? As construction work underway suggests the owners won’t continue to let hikers walk right past their terrace. To be continued, then... Otherwise, it was magnificent.

A lovely walk with no particular difficulties
Lovely views, though unfortunately the sky was grey that day!
This hike isn’t difficult; I’d rate the difficulty as moderate
At point 1, it’s not a path but a track
Signposting is sometimes faint towards the end (from point 8)

Enjoy the hike – the view from the summit is magnificent. Along the way, it’s a bit tricky to find the path again after the gate, but if you pay attention, you’ll easily find your way back onto the trail in the gully; from there, it’s a steep climb.
The descent is steep. It took a bit of fumbling to find the path leading down to the village. No big deal—worst case scenario, you can just stay on the road.
Another great day

A lovely walk to point 7, with the added bonus of wild peonies in bloom.
If you’re going in a group, to avoid the uninteresting walk back to the village, you can leave a car by the roadside at point 8 or 10.

The first part of the walk is lovely, up to Tête Boursier; however, the descent and the return to the village are a bit dull as there isn’t much to see.
