The hike starts from the car park behind Montfa Town Hall.
(S/E) At the start, turn right, north-east, onto the Route de Montredon (D59) then continue straight on along the Route des Collines to the hamlet of Graviac.
(1) Continue right, descending towards the Ruisseau de Bagas valley. Cross the road bridge and continue for 150 m without crossing the other road bridge.
(2) Turn right onto a path in the forest and join the D4.
(3) Caution: busy road! Turn left at the edge of the D4 and follow it to the hamlet of Les Fournials, which you cross until you reach the Route de Rudel.
(4) Take this road on the left and follow it to the hamlet of Rudel at a crossroads located at the exit (elevation 275).
(5) Turn left onto a narrow path through the woods and, after crossing a meadow, you will come to a cross-country track.
(6) Turn right onto the path that runs alongside the stream, heading due west: signposted Sentier des Puechs, long version. You will arrive at the Plancarié farm, directly below a power line.
(7) Follow the small road through the woods and join another cross-country road.
(8) Turn left onto this road, pass under the power line and continue for about 100 metres.
(9) Turn right onto a path between the fields, passing under the power line again, and arrive at Domaine de la Quintaine.
(10) Go around it and follow a path on the left that remains level.
(11) Turn left onto the path that climbs towards the castle, passing under the power line once again.
(12) At the foot of the castle, climb up to the left to reach the esplanade facing the ruins: beautiful view.
(13) Turn around.
(12) Continue left towards the Boudet farm and follow the road to a junction with another road.
(14) Follow the grassy path opposite. Cross a second road and continue opposite along the path until you reach the next road.
(15) Turn right towards the village.
(16) In the housing estate, turn left towards the centre of Montfa and the town hall car park (S/E).
