District:
Park in the car park of the Andabre municipal stadium.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards Castanet on the D22e12 for 250m, then turn left onto the bridge over the Mare to reach the junction with theGR®653®coming from the left.
(1) Continue along the road, pass La Combe and continue for 500 metres. Then leave the concrete track and climb left up a path through the chestnut forest. Climb the steep slope and, through the broom, reach the Portail de Roquandouire.
(2) Go through the gate, ignore the path that branches off directly to the left and take the path above towards the Serre de More ridge to the highest point (view of the Orque cliffs and the Albès pillar, Mont Marcou, the Orb mountains and Espinouse). Descend through the moorland to reach a turning area.
(3) Continue downhill through the chestnut trees (watch out for fallen trees), leaving a path on your right and a track on your left. Further down, cross a road and continue straight ahead through the hamlet of Compeyre until you reach a small square.
(4) Turn left onto the small road, cross the Casselouvre bridge, then follow the D22e9 to the left. Pass in front of the Saint-Barthélemy Chapel and enter Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare. At the church square, turn left, cross the Casselouvre again and reach the Place du Monument aux Morts (junction with the GR® 653 trail, Chemin de Saint-Jacques).
(5) Turn left, cross the square and continue along Rue du Quai. Turn right onto a path between two walls, then left onto a paved slanting street. Cross an open area, step over a seasonal stream and walk up a gully to the left of a fir tree plantation.
(6) At the track, climb up to the right for about 1 km, rejoining theGR® coming from the right.
(7) Turn right onto a path through the chestnut trees, pass a clearing, descend and reach the first fork on the way out.
(1) Turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
