Park opposite the town hall, in front of the Tourist Office.
(S/E) Walk up the village’s main street, past the private school, then turn left up the “Côte Gelée”, a stony lane leading to the church.
(1) Go round the church on the right and head back down a marked grassy path. When you reach the stream, do not cross it but follow it on the right, eventually reaching the D15 road which runs through the village. Cross this road to find a few steps opposite, which you descend. Continue straight on along the wide path that continues to follow the stream; this path is also part of theGR®® route. Cross a small bridge, climb slightly and reach a junction.
(2) Ignore Trail No. 1, which branches off to the right, and carry on along the path – which is tarmac for a few dozen metres – as it climbs quite steeply. You will then reach a junction of wide paths marked by a cross.
(3) Take the path on the left, signpostedGR®®, which climbs slightly before descending and then climbing again. Opposite some livestock buildings, you’ll reach a junction with a path on the left.
(4) Take this path on the left (you’re still following theGR®® and Trail No. 1). Descend to the stream and climb back up on the opposite side to reach the D15. Cross this road and head straight on to reach the hamlet of Les Couderts via a small road.
(5) Pass the first house on the left and, immediately after the three-way junction, take the path climbing up to the left, still marked by Trail No. 1 and theGR®®, which you’ll leave at the first junction. Follow the Trail No. 1 markings to climb up to just below the summit of the knoll, at the foot of splendid basalt cliffs. You’ll reach a plateau, then descend on the other side down a vast scree slope. Pass through the Bacelles gate, turn right and follow the Trail No. 1 markings carefully to reach the hamlet of Bacelles.
(6) Once on the road, turn right and then, almost immediately, take the path that starts on the left. Follow this lovely path through meadows until you reach a road.
(7) Take this road to the left, continue straight on at the junction, pass the care home and arrive at a stream. Turn right, then cross the first bridge on the left. Follow the road which runs alongside the stream and then climbs to the left; this will take you to the high street of Saint-Julien. A few metres to the right will then lead you to the finish (S/E).
