Head to the stadium on Boulevard du Huit Mai 1945, either before the Lattre-de-Tassigny roundabout if coming from Sainte-Anne d’Évenos, or after that same roundabout if coming from Bandol.
Park in one of the stadium’s car parks; there are plenty of spaces.
(S/E) Walk up Rue du Stade, the final bend of which is cut off by a small pedestrian lane, and continue to the five-way junction.
(1) On the right is the Chemin du Rouve, divided into two one-way lanes. On the left is the Traverse de Saint-Étienne, a dead end.
Take thesecond path on the left: Chemin des Oratoires – Chemin du Beausset Vieux (signposted), at the start of which stands the Oratoire de Saint-Étienne. You’ll soon pass a pumping station.
(2) A little further on, leave a private entrance on your right and take the left-hand branch of the path below a low wall; then, a little further on, take the path beneath the terraced field, following the sign for ‘Chemin des Oratoires’. This path leads to an open area with a field on the right, and the Oratoire de Saint-Roch ahead of you.
(3) Turn right onto the path that runs alongside the field, then 50 metres further on, turn right onto a small path that winds through the vegetation; follow this until you see, on the left, a hollow near which a figurine in the shape of the Virgin Mary is set in a cemented niche: this hollow is the Trou de la Vierge.
Retrace your steps back to the Oratoire Saint-Roch.
(3) Continue to the right along the path that climbs (Chemin des Oratoires), bordered by an embankment on the right.
(4) At the Oratory of Saint Eutrope, take a path laid out as a flight of steps which climbs to the right towards the sanctuary, then continue straight on, skirting a terraced field.
(5) You’ll reach a paved road at the Oratory of Saints Peter and Paul. Head up to the right alongside the sanctuary building, until you reach the esplanade where there is an iron cross set on a cubic plinth.
Walk round the buildings and head up the eastern side to see the orientation board and the panoramic view.
Head back down and continue round the sanctuary.
(5) Look for a small path due south-east that descends through the trees and follow it until it joins the road. You’ll come to a grassy esplanade on the slope of which you can see an outcrop of gypsum.
(6) Take the Chemin de Cambeiron (signposted) opposite (to the south). Follow it to the junction with the Chemin de Font Vive.
(7) Here, the road continues straight on as the Chemin de Font-Vive. Turn right, staying on the Chemin de Cambeiron. Follow it until you reach a hairpin bend to the right.
Here, on the left, is the Vieux Beausset pottery workshop. Continue to the right along the same road.
About 100 m after a right-angled bend to the left at a property entrance where there is a wayside shrine, you’ll reach a junction where the Chemin de Cambeiron ends. Turn right here onto the Chemin du Rouve, which you should follow (signposted fairly regularly) almost to the end.
(8) After nearly 3 km on the Chemin du Rouve, the road splits into two one-way lanes: the Chemin du Rouve on the left (no entry) and the old Chemin du Rouve on the right (one-way). Although you’re not in a car, turn right.
(1) You’ll reach Rue du Stade at the five-way junction. Follow this street down to the car park (S/E).
