(S/E) Start from the archbishop's garden. When you reach the viewpoint and look out over the valley, turn left and walk along the edge of the rock. The plain is on your right. Leave the garden via the Promenade de l'Archevêché. You will come to a car park through an opening in a wall. Continue along the edge of the rock, leaving the Salle de la Poudrière and the Jardin du Roc on your left. Go through the gate in the rampart that leads to a wooden bridge and walk along the football stadium. Continue along the first building and then the retirement home. At this point, the rock is less steep.
(1). At the crossroads, take the path on the right that descends towards Le Chaffal. Follow this path to the tarmac road to Saint-André, which you follow on the right until you pass the transformer. Then take a small road on the right that leads you under the Roc. Ignore the dirt track on the left that leads to the stadium and continue straight on towards the small gardens and canals.
This path runs alongside the rock and you can see the path you have taken since the start, the ramparts, then the belvedere with its rounded stone overhang.
(2) When you are directly above the starting point, take a fairly wide dirt track on the left that leads towards some houses. Follow this path to the small tarmac road that runs alongside the Durance. Take this Route de la Digue on the right along the Durance.
(3) Just before a small green-painted bridge, take the first tarmac road on the right which follows a small canal coming from Embrun. Continue along this path, keeping the canal on your left (the Chaffal , known as the Moulineaux torrent), even when the road is no longer tarmac. This path begins to climb with the Roc on your right, then turns into a tarmac walkway that climbs steeply to the Leader Price car park .
(4) At the very beginning of the car park, there is a wooden staircase which is also used by aGR® trail, which you will follow to the right. Walk along a fence with the Embrun Hospital Centre on your right. At the crossroads, take Rue Pierre et Marie Curie on the left. At the stop sign, turn right into Rue Émile Guigues and head towards Notre-Dame du-Réal Cathedral.
(5) Go around the cathedral on the left. On the left, you will see the Maison des Chanonges and then the Tour Brune.
Return to the Archbishop's garden, our starting point (S/E).
