The road is paved up to the starting point.
From the car park in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, take the Route de la Magdeleine, then turn left onto the Route des Costes. Continue straight on until you reach marker 172. At this point, turn right and follow the tarmac Route des Costes. At the junction marked by a flat stone with the inscription 'Touronet', turn left. The car park is located 100 m further on, near the water tower.
(S/E) Take the uphill path. After barely 50 metres, you will come to a V-shaped crossroads. Take the path on the left. You will soon reach another crossroads. Turn right here. Continue uphill along a few hairpin bends until you reach another crossroads marked by a cairn.
(1) Take the path on the left, walk along a cliff and you will reach a fenced-off area.
(2) Go around it on the right. Once you have gone around it, take the path on the far right in front of the large gate. Walk through the brambles for about 50 metres. Once on the plateau, head through the broom towards a large aviary, but be careful here: this is private property and access is prohibited. Go around it on the left to reach the track.
(3) Turn left, follow the track slightly uphill and you will reach a crossroads with several directions at marker 175a.
(4) Take the tarmac road on the right towards Le Puy Nouri. Walk alongside the Château du Caire, where you will find marker 176, which is not shown on the map. Continue towards Puy de Naouri. The road turns into a centuries-old paved slanting street, leading to a new marker that is shown on the map and also bears the number 176.
(5) Head towards Le Puy de Naouri on the right. Follow the path, pass marker 178 and continue east to reach the summit of Le Puy de Naouri and its metre-high cairn.
(6) Continue eastwards until you reach a second large cairn, then continue along the ridge downhill and walk alongside the woods until you reach the power line.
(7) Turn right at this crossroads and follow the path to reach the sheep park with its dry stone walls. Take the path on the right between two cairns. You will come to a drinking trough and a container used as a fire water reserve.
(8) Turn left at the water trough and you will come back to the initial crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Take the path on the left and follow the route in reverse to reach the water tower car park (S/E).
... Otherwise, the trails are in good condition and offer superb views of the coastline and the Baous.
