Start from the car park below Bois Borgne, near the Paillote de l’Île-aux-Pies.
This walk follows much of theGR®347, marked in red and white.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the Paillote and walk past it. Find theGR® and the cliff edge to enjoy the view of Île-aux-Pies.
(1) Follow theGR® southwards, keeping the Oust on your right as you walk above it. The track becomes wooded and crosses a side path at its end.
(2) Turn onto the cross-track and arrive at a bend. Turn right. TheGR® winds its way to a Y-junction.
(3) Turn left, then emerge onto a wide track forming a T-junction. First turn left then right. Follow theGR® to the second bend.
(4) Leave theGR® temporarily by turning left. Cross Route Val du Port and follow it to the right.
(5) Return to the red and white markings, ignoring a path turning north (which will be the return route). Reach a crossroads and follow the path furthest to the right to find the chapel.
(6) Retrace your steps. Return to theGR® and follow it to the left. Walk alongside the Oust on your left, keeping the river below you.
(5) At the fork, turn left and stay as close as possible to the river, following the red and whiteGR® markings. The river is visible below, winding its way through the trees.
(4) At the three-way junction, turn left. Retrace your steps along the path you took on the way out to return to the car park at La Paillote de l’Île-aux-Pies (S/E).
