(S/E) From the Puits de Raimu car park, take the road heading north towards Garlaban. After about 150 m, you will come to a T-junction. Turn left onto Chemin de la Font de Mai.
(1) Just after the crossroads, ignore the Puits de Raimu trail on your left and continue straight ahead. Pass in front of the Mas de Massacan (Ugolin's house in the film "Manon des Sources"). The road becomes a track that leads to a barrier. Go through it and head towards the Col d'Aubignane.
(2) At the crossroads just before the pass, leave the path on the left that leads to the Ferme d'Angèle, keep to the right and reach the Col d'Aubignane.
(3) Head towards Garlaban as indicated on the large triangular stone on the ground. Climb up the steepest path, avoiding the switchbacks used by mountain bikes.
(4) On the climb, you will arrive at the rock carvings (around 80 in 2020, many of which are related to the work of Marcel Pagnol). Don't hesitate to take a detour along a small path on the left which leads to another group of carvings.
Return to the track and, when you reach a wide bend to the left near the Col de Garlaban, take the small path on the right.
(5) Take this path up to the summit and the Croix du Garlaban.
(6) Descend by the same route to the Col de Garlaban.
(5) From the pass, take thefirst track on the left of the one you took on the way up. This parallel track descends westwards into the Vallon des Piches.
(7) At the Pas Garrigue crossroads, continue downhill to the left. The path turns south-west and reaches a fork.
(8) Take the path on the left that leads to the Manon cave (or Baume du Plantier) featured in the film "Manon des Sources".
(9) Retrace your steps back to the crossroads.
(8) Back on the trail, continue downhill to the Col d'Aubignane.
(3) Find the path you took on the way there and descend to the crossroads with the Chemin de la Ferme d'Angèle.
(2) Follow the signs for Ferme d'Angèle on the right (ruins of the farm from the film "Angèle").
Continue along the Pierre Tchernia path, which leads to the rocky outcrops of Saint-Esprit, where the film "Regain" was shot. The arch represents the entrance to the village of Aubignane in the film. Pass under the arch and continue along the path that leads to the Croix de la Barre du Saint-Esprit and back.
(10) Retrace your steps along the Tchernia path and then at the crossroads at the start of the Ferme Angèle path.
(2) Return to the trail you started on and follow it back to the car park.
(1) Before returning to the car park, turn right onto the small path that leads to the Puits de Raimu (reconstruction). Continue along this same path to return to the car park (S/E).
