Park in the car park below the Dominican convent.
(S/E) Head towards the estate and, at the end of the bend, take the path downhill on the left.
(1) Turn right at the fork and continue along a wide path for a good kilometre.
(2) Turn right at the small cairn to take a path that descends fairly quickly and joins a wide track. Turn left and then right after a few dozen metres to reach the car park at the foot of the Lac de Cacélés dam. Cross the dam, continue straight ahead along the dam, then pass in front of the pumping station. Go to the open-air café and turn right to reach a track suitable for vehicles.
(3) Turn left to follow the lake to its northern end. Continue on this track heading north-northeast.
(4) You will come to a small road; follow it to the right. Cross the village of Sainte-Croix-de-Quintillargues. At the junction with the D109, turn right towards the church.
(5) Then turn left. Next, first turn left then right to enter the street called Chemin de la Roubiore. Pass in front of the school, then continue straight ahead at the crossroads to join the D1 at Quatre Ponts.
(6) Turn right and follow the road for about 50 metres, then cross carefully to take a small path opposite that leads into the forest. A good climb to wake up your muscles leads to the high point at Lamelle.
(7) Ignore the path on the left and continue straight ahead downhill. Pass an antenna and you will come to a T-junction.
(8) Turn left and ignore a street on the left. At the T-junction opposite the cemetery, first turn left then right to go around it.
(9) At the next intersection, turn right and pass in front of the church and then the town hall. Join the D109 (Ancien Chemin d'Anduze) and follow it to the left for about 200 metres.
(10) Turn right onto Chemin de Saint-Mathieu. Follow this quiet road for about 2.5 km, leaving the access road to La Roque on your right.
(11) In the bend, continue left, staying on the road, and reach the second 90° right-hand bend.
(12) Leave the road and take a small path on the left, not the path that continues straight ahead. Join the D1.
(13) Carefully follow it to the left for about a hundred metres, then cross over to take a path through the vineyards. At the crossroads shortly afterwards, go straight on and follow the path which makes a hairpin bend to the right and climbs up to a crossroads.
::14: Leave the track that continues straight ahead and take the one on the left.
(2) Continue to the right and follow the outward route in the opposite direction to return to the car park (S/E).
