District:
Park in the car park along the hill at the entrance to the village. There are about fifteen spaces.
(S/E) Walk down the tarmac road for a few hundred metres.
(1) Leave the road by taking the path on the right. Continue along the forest path, passing the water treatment plant on your right, then leave this forest road which climbs into the orchard and take the path on the left which descends towards the Léoux. Cross it via the small bridge to reach the right bank and climb this small path, lulled by the sound of the stream.
(2) Leave the ascending path and take the one on the right for a few hundred metres until you reach a beautiful limestone beach where you can admire the Léoux. Don't hesitate to take this remarkable little detour, then retrace your steps.
(2) Continue climbing, and you will occasionally see small yellow triangles on the rocks. Follow them.
there are sometimes several different paths that converge. You need to climb up to the ridges; the electricity poles show you the way. Join the forest path.
(3) Caution! Do not take the path on your right that is marked on the map. It has become dangerous due to rockfalls. A sign warns you of the danger and the municipal decree. Continue along the small path in front of you and join the tarmac road. Walk 50 metres to the right on the road and take the forest path, still on your right. Further on, you will come to a small tarmac road going uphill. Continue along this road.
(4) Ignore the sign at this intersection, as this is not the route you will be taking. Turn right at the signpost. Walk 400 metres, ford the Léoux and walk uphill for 200 metres.
(5) Leave the path and turn left onto the trail between the four large rocks, which will take you further along the walk. When you reach the olive grove, walk up the high edge and join the road via a narrow path.
(6) Turn right and follow Chemin de la Botte for a while, admiring the landscape on your right.
(7) Head left towards Saint-May and Abbaye de Bodon.
(8) Leave the orange and blue marked trail on your right, veer slightly left and continue along this narrow path. At elevation 698, stay on the left until you reach the paved road.
(9) Go up this road on the left, called Chemin du Col de Saint-May.
(10) Take the wide forest track on the right, pass the Ravin de Lauzas and continue along this steeply descending path.
(11) Turn right and join the plateau road. Follow it to the right. Visit Bodon Abbey. Return to the road.
(12) After 100 metres, take the narrow path on the left and go down it. Continue along this small stony path, rejoin the plateau road and continue downhill, following it to the left.
(13) Leave the road at the hairpin bend on the right and take the small path to Saint-May. I strongly recommend visiting the village cemetery (as planned on the route), where the view is exceptional and you'll have an unforgettable experience! To get there, turn left to cross the village and continue along the path. Retrace your steps and go straight ahead to leave the village and return to the car park (S/E).
