Parking at the entrance to the village of Fontjoucouse, Avenue du Ripaud.
(S/E) From the car park, take the stairs leading up to the path above. On the path, turn right towards the east to leave the village and come to the D123 road.
(1) Turn left, then immediately right onto the path that descends towards the Cassié stream, which you will cross by fording.
(2) Continue straight ahead on the path heading northeast. Follow this path for about 500 metres until you reach the end of a vineyard. Then make a sharp left turn to join Chemin Saint-Victor (paved).
(3) On this path, continue left for about 300 metres in a north-north-westerly direction until you reach the "Saint-Victor" sign.
(4) This sign invites you to take an ascending path on the right that will lead you to the summit of Pic Saint-Victor, marked with yellow signs. The path follows the easiest contour lines.
(5) You will pass a ruined sheepfold and climb up a valley (talweg) that leads almost to the summit. For the last 150 metres, the path follows a raised limestone fold to reach the summit platform (television and telephone installations).
(6) To return, you can take a path down the north face of the peak. The start of the path is to the north, hidden behind a small abandoned concrete technical building. The path descends rapidly, then more gently, following limestone outcrops before reaching a plateau.
(7) Shortly before beginning another descent on the Chemin de Saint-Victor, the trail crosses an area of sharp limestone pavement where hikers have given free rein to their decorative imaginations!
(4) Once on the Chemin de Saint-Victor, turn left and follow the same path you took on the way out to return to Fontjoucouse (S/E).
