GR®51 red and white markings
(DA) Head towards marker 440 and take the path towards Col de Bausson. Reach marker 457.
(1) Turn left towards Col de Bausson. Continue along the ascending path where the first views of the village of Sainte-Agnès come into view. At the tarmac road of Font de Baou, continue straight ahead and reach a junction with a sign (no direction indicated) and a cairn.
(2) Turn left onto the path. Walk past the beautiful ruins dotted along the terraces, then head into a pine forest. You will reach a crossroads with a cairn.
Blue markings and cairns
(3) Leave the GR® and turn right. A few faded blue markers and cairns mark the ascending path. As you enter the wooded area, and at the first rock outcrop (alt. 880 m), continue straight ahead on the path. Upon exiting the forest, join the ridge line on the left: cairns are present. Mont Agel overlooks the western area.
(4) At this point (alt. 900 m), there is a sloping, gravelly area on the left. Descend due west, keeping the rock face on your left, for about thirty metres, until you reach a tree with ten distinctive small trunks, which is the only one there (alt. 880 m). Pass through the trunks, cross the stony area, and head due north, through small boulders, marked by cairns to help you find the paths. Continue along the ridge line.
(5) Large boulders: cross a beautiful sharp limestone pavement where a herd of wild goats has established its territory. Follow the track, which leads to a pass. Beyond this, the path joins, further on, a yellow-marked trail.
Yellow markings
(6) Turn left. The path climbs gradually through a wooded area and reaches the Cime de Baudon and its orientation table: exceptional views.
(7) Turn back.
(6) Turn left and head for the Pas de la Piastre trail junction: marker 475.
(8) Turn right towards Sainte-Agnès, pass marker 457, and continue straight on to reach the car park (S/E).
