Park on the Place du Marché in Beauvallon.
(S/E) Cross the car park, keeping the two bars/restaurants on your left, and continue to the junction of the D111 and the D211. Follow the D111 to the right towards Valence, staying on the right-hand pavement. Leave Chemin de la Forge on your right and walk a few steps to find the pedestrian crossing. Turn left and cross the road (very busy). Once on the pavement opposite, turn right and walk to the bridge.
Just before crossing it, turn left onto the path that runs alongside the Véore. Follow this path, which is sometimes shaded and sometimes open. Walk alongside the stadium and continue to the traffic lights at the edge of the D111a to see a beautiful renovated building.
(1) Turn around and follow Chemin du Stade to the right. At the corner of the first sports field, turn right and go up the path that leads to the edge of a canal (via a ramp or a flight of steps). First turn right then left to cross the canal and go up the path along a fence (steps and ramp).
Turn right onto Impasse de la Magnanerie, leaving Chemin de Maugras completely on your left, and continue a few steps to the next intersection.
(2) Turn left to follow the path that runs alongside the cemetery and becomes Allée Camille Claudel. Leave the streets on either side and continue to the end of the street. Turn right onto the D444 (Route de Beauvallon) in front of the shops and turn left to cross the road. Follow Chemin de Côte Chaude (signposted tennis, gymnasium).
About 50 metres further on, turn right in front of the gymnasium and continue along the pedestrian path that runs alongside the fire station to reach the end of the car park on Place de la République.
(3) Turn left and walk up this street, which becomes Grand Rue as it crosses the village. Walk through the village and arrive in front of the wash house at the intersection of Place de la Fédération and Place des Armes.
(4) Turn left onto Place des Armes and, at the end, take the pedestrian walkway that veers slightly to the left. Continue until you reach the entrance to the Parc du Château. Turn right, cross Boulevard de la Puya and continue straight ahead onto Chemin des Donnays.
Cross Route de Die (D111) with extreme caution as visibility is poor at this point. Follow Chemin du Télégraphe opposite. At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead on the main road and walk about 100 metres until you see a path on the left in the middle of a vineyard. Follow this path, which leads to the Télégraphe de la Chappe (renovated in 2010).
(5) Turn around and return to the main path, turn left and continue up towards the water tower. At a fork (ruin), leave the main path and continue straight ahead (leaving the access to the water tower on your left).
The path makes two turns and enters the woods. Further on, pass a small esplanade and arrive at a fork. Continue straight ahead on a smaller path. Begin a descent and come out at a house.
(6) Turn right onto the tarmac road and 30 metres further on, in the bend, turn left. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead on a slight incline onto Route du Cimetière.
Walk along the cemetery and you will reach a T-junction. Turn right onto Montée du Château. As the descent becomes steeper, look to your right to see the old castle, which has been converted into a retirement home. At the bottom of the descent, you will arrive at the car park (S/E).
