Parking is available along the pavements of the Crouzet housing estate, Rue du Centaure or Rue des Perrières and opposite the vineyard.
(S/E) The route starts on the small road along the edge of the vineyard, heading east until you reach the junction with a partly paved track that runs alongside the motorway.
(1) At this intersection, turn left and, 100 metres further on, turn right to pass under the A9 bridge and start climbing straight ahead into the gardiole. Keep heading south-east, ignoring several turnings on the right and left, until you reach a crossroads.
(2) At the intersection, turn right south-southeast and stay on the main track until you reach another intersection.
(3) Turn right, heading south, and join the Plan de Lacan (small landing strip and two cisterns opposite).
(4) Turn left to descend the track. Leave a track on your right, then turn right at the next two junctions to reach Pioch Noir.
(5) Le Pioch Noir, 216 metres above sea level, offers remarkable views of the ponds and the sea in the distance. This is the first recommended picnic spot.
Descend from Pioch Noir and turn right onto a small, stony path heading northeast to reach a beautiful track.
(6) Turn left onto this track and continue to the junction with another downhill track.
(7) Turn left and follow this track, which winds its way down several hairpin bends before reaching another triangular junction at the end of a right-hand bend.
(8) Keep to the far left, leaving the downhill track on your right, and continue to a small stone and concrete bridge, where you can stop for a picnic.
(9) At the end of this small bridge, turn left onto the wide uphill track. Follow this main track until you reach the top of the hill, at the entrance to a bend, where you will see a cistern numbered 205.
(10) Continue straight ahead and stay on this main track until you reach a crossroads.
(11) Follow the DFCI road (gar1) on the left (coming from the hairpin bend).
(12) At the junction (no entry sign), leave the track that climbs up to the left and continue straight ahead in a south-south-westerly direction until you reach a large crossroads.
(13) Turn 90° left onto the widest track and walk for about 150 metres.
(14) Leave the main track straight ahead and take a small track on the right that descends and leads to the intersection you took on the way there.
(2) Take a sharp right turn onto the trail you took on the way there to descend towards Gigean and the starting point (S/E).
