The walk starts on Chemin de Pierrouret, 600 m after the entrance to Château Fontvert. There are a few parking spaces on the side of the road.
(S/E) The official signposts point north towards Cadasses. Climb up alongside the vineyard, following the red and white GR®97 markings. At the corner of the field, enter the undergrowth via a small rocky path. Follow this path, which continues uphill into the Vallon du Bon Dieu, until you reach a clearly marked intersection, avoiding all side paths.
(1) Do not descend to the left (this will be the way back) but continue climbing in the same direction. After a little less than 400 m, you will reach Cap de Serre.
(2) Continue for about a hundred metres; there is a small plateau with a pleasant view, which is an ideal spot for a picnic surrounded by the scent of thyme.
(3) Descend towards Cap de Serre and take the path back up.
(1) Descend to the right via a rocky and very steep path. The descent is rapid! Further down, the path widens to become a broad rocky track.
(4) After about 1.5 km of descent, when the slope becomes much gentler, take a small path that starts on the left opposite a cultivated field. Pass under a rocky outcrop and keep strictly to the east. Continue along a grassy area on your right, ignoring any side paths.
(5) At this point, the route turns right to follow an orchard. At the end of the cherry orchard, climb slightly and then immediately turn left to pass by a ruin. Continue eastwards along a vineyard (red gate) to descend back to the tarmac road.
(6) On the left, the Chemin de Pierrouret rejoins the starting point (S/E).
