Head to the stadium on Boulevard du Huit Mai 1945, before the Lattre-de-Tassigny roundabout if coming from Sainte-Anne d'Évenos, or after the roundabout if coming from Bandol.
Park in one of the stadium car parks, which have plenty of spaces.
(S/E) Walk up Rue du Stade, whose last bend is cut off by a small pedestrian alley, and continue to the five-way intersection.
(1) On the right is Chemin du Rouve, which splits into two one-way lanes. On the left is Traverse de Saint-Étienne, a dead end.
Take thesecond path on the left: Chemin des Oratoires - Chemin du Beausset Vieux (sign), at the beginning of which is the Oratoire de Saint-Étienne. Soon you will pass a pumping station.
(2) A little further on, pass a private driveway on your right and take the branch of the road on the left below a low wall, then a little further on, take the path under 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 Saint-Roch in front of you.
(3) Take the path on the right that runs alongside the field, then 50 metres further on, take a small path on the right that plunges into the vegetation. Follow this path until you see an excavation on the left, near which a figurine in the shape of the Virgin Mary is cemented into a niche: the excavation is the Trou de la Vierge (Virgin's Hole).
Retrace your steps back to the Saint-Roch Oratory.
(3) Continue on the right, taking the path that climbs (Chemin des Oratoires), bordered by an embankment on the right.
(4) At the Oratory of Saint-Eutrope, take a path with steps that climbs to the right towards the sanctuary, then continue straight ahead along a terraced field.
(5) You will arrive at a paved road at the Oratory of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul. Climb to the right along the sanctuary building to the esplanade where you will find an iron cross planted on a cubic base.
Go around the buildings and climb up the east side to see the orientation table and the panorama.
Go back down and continue around the sanctuary.
(5) Find a small path heading south-east that descends among the trees and follow it until you reach the road. You will arrive at a grassy esplanade on the embankment of which you can see a gypsum rock outcrop.
(6) Take the Chemin de Cambeiron (signposted) opposite (south). Follow it until you reach the junction with the Chemin de Font Vive.
(7) Here, the road continues straight ahead as Chemin de Font-Vive. Turn right, staying on Chemin de Cambeiron. Follow it until you reach a sharp right-hand bend.
On the left is the Vieux Beausset pottery. Continue right on the same road.
About 100 m after a right-angle bend to the left at the entrance to a property with an oratory, you will come to a crossroads where Chemin de Cambeiron ends. Turn right onto Chemin du Rouve and follow it (signposted fairly regularly) almost to the end.
(8) After about 3 km on Chemin du Rouve, the road splits into two one-way lanes: Chemin du Rouve on the left (no entry) and the old Chemin du Rouve on the right (mandatory direction). Although you are not in a car, turn right.
(1) Return to Rue du Stade at the five-way intersection. Go down this street to return to the car park (S/E).
