(4) Turn right into the woods onto the Chemin de la Valette, which offers lovely views of the village of Naves and the Bourdaric cirque. At the end of the descent, you’ll reach the Bourdaric again.
(5) Cross it and begin an easy climb to reach the junction you passed on the way out.

A lovely route, though there were a few tricky bits at three junctions, mainly due to the GPS track being a bit vague
