Coming from Les Joannins, from the D844, turn right onto Chemin de Belle Eau. Park behind Château Belle Eau, where there is a lay-by on the right with space for a few cars.
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the château, take the path on the right, which climbs whilst curving to the right.
(1) Just before a left-hand bend, turn onto a barely visible track to the right, which goes round an old pond with a central fountain, of which only a pile of rocks remains. Return to the original path and continue to the right. On the right, large rocks appear which once marked the edges of another large basin. Enter the enclosure of this basin via a well-marked track on the right, between a rock and a tree. Follow the track, made by other walkers, and reach a curiously shaped bridge built in the same style as the remains of the fountain.
(2) Pass under the bridge and immediately climb up to the left to rejoin the track, which continues and loops back to the starting path in a U-shape. Continue to the right along the path, ignoring the various offshoots to the left and right. At the next fork, keep to the left. Stay on this main path until you reach a junction with a forest track (barrier).
(3) Take the wide path opposite, which soon becomes a small tarmac road known as the “Chemin de la Ferme Carrée”.
(4) Leave the road as it begins to curve to the right, and continue straight ahead along a wide track. Ignore a path branching off to the right. Continue climbing along this track, which curves sharply to the left, and ascend the eastern flank of the Navon.
(5) On the flat section, climb to the right along a gullied path to reach the summit of the Navon: superb views over the Rhône and Viviers.
(6) Turn back to the flat section.
(5) Take the path on the right.
(7) Leave this path at a hairpin bend to the left and continue straight ahead along a track that enters the woods.
(8) At the end, in front of the gate to a private property, turn left onto a small tarmac road. At the next junction, turn left again onto Chemin de Belle Eau and return to the car park where you started (S/E).
