(S/E) Take the stairs on the right, signposted Sentier des Oliviers. At the top of the stairs, turn right and walk up the Promenade des Anglais. Turn left at the hairpin bend and you will immediately come to the crossroads of the
Chemin des Gallinards.
(1) Take this road on the right and continue along it to enter the woods and then reach another hairpin bend. Leave the road here and take the yellow marked trail opposite. Pass by the climbing site and, after a circular bend, you will find the red and white markedGR®9 trail. Take this trail on the left and you will soon arrive at the Notre-Dame de Réparat Chapel.
(3) Continue on theGR®9, pass by the Trou du Pontias, and continue on to reach the paved road at the Col du Pontias.
(4) Leave theGR® here and take this road on the right. Continue uphill and, turning right onto a path parallel to the road, you will reach the highest point of the hike, the Col d'Aubenas.
(5) Begin the descent by taking the path on the right called Chemin d'Éoupe. First go around a peak before descending into the valley, then climb a little towards the tarmac road of Chemin du Flachet.
(6) Take it on the right, following the Ravin de Suffie stream on its left bank. Reach the village of Aubres and the D94 road.
(7) Turn left onto it, cross the stream on the footbridge next to the road bridge, and continue along the D94 for about 100 metres. Cross at the pedestrian crossing and turn right, going around the town hall. Go down the street to the large bridge over the Eygues. At the end of the bridge, take the road on the right that runs along the right bank of the Eygues. You will reach the Camping de l'Eygues campsite.
(8) Continue along this road until you reach Camping des Clots.
(9) Continue along this road and then climb slightly. After a short descent, stay in the pedestrian corridor which then crosses the road and a small square, and arrive back at the D94. Cross it and take the stairs that descend to the right just before the entrance to the road tunnel. You will come out opposite the Roman Bridge.
(10) Cross it. Take thesecond street on the left, Rue des Déportés. Walk past the Church of Saint-Vincent, then turn right and immediately left into an alleyway that passes under a house. At the new small square, turn left again and then immediately right. You will arrive at the car park of the Place de la Mairie. Cross it to reach the steps of the town hall.
Here you have two options:
- either go up on the left to go around it, which is the route shown on the map. Between the town hall and the media library, turn left and cross the street towards the Meyne school and go up on the right. Pass in front of the Social Services building and then in front of the entrance to the Notre-Dame School. The school complex is opposite, as are the Promenade des Anglais and the car park (S/E).
- Or, to the right of the town hall, head into old Nyons: a maze of narrow streets, soustets and stairways leading up to the Randonne Tower or Notre-Dame de Bonsecours Chapel, from which you can see the sculpted Pain de Sucre from the Place de la Mairie. Then, on the left, via Rue du Foussat, you will find the Promenade des Anglais and the car park (S/E).
