From the centre of Salon de Provence, head towards Avignon. On leaving the town, turn right towards the A7 (Salon Nord entrance towards Avignon and Lyon). Cross the EDF canal, go under the motorway and immediately turn right towards SPA and Tallagard. Park in the Tallagard car park.
(S/E) From the car park, take the Haut Chemin du Tallagard opposite.
(1) 150 metres further on, turn left, go through the barrier and follow the tarmac road on the right.
After a few metres, take the small path that heads to the left (purple markings). This path runs alongside the motorway for a while. Ignore the two paths on the left and then on the right to come out onto a track.
(2) Turn left to continue climbing gently, enjoying the views of the Crau Plain and the Alpilles.
After passing a pylon on your right, take the path on the right that leads to two other pylons. Pass them and continue along the path for 100 metres until you reach a large crossroads where you will find cistern no. 261.
(3) Turn right and stay on the main path for one kilometre, ignoring all the other paths.
(4) At a T-junction with another track (brown markings), turn left to find another cistern, no. 371. At this point, take the track that descends to the right towards the valley. The path joins theGR®6and, after passing a hut surrounded by olive trees, continues to another crossroads with an oratory.
(5) Turn right and descend along the stream. The path becomes tarmac and eventually leads to a junction with a cistern on the left.
(6) Continue along the tarmac road, which veers slightly to the right, to finish the Chemin du Tallagard between the houses and return to the car park (S/E).
It should be noted that the last part (more than 2 km) is on tarmac!
