On the M27, between Murviel-lès-Montpellier and Montarnaud, take the DFCI AUE3 track on the left. Park in the open area to the right or left of the track. Do not park in tall grass, as there is a risk of fire.
(S/E) Follow the DFCI track downhill.
(1) At the first junction, take the path on the right towards the olive trees and the high-voltage power lines. Pass under the lines, go past the olive trees, cross a patch of heath, then turn right at the corner of the vineyard and follow it along.
(2) At the crossroads, take the path diagonally to the right, moving slightly away from the second vineyard. At the hairpin bend, continue straight on for 5 m to reach the old Montpellier-Rabieux railway line.
(3) Turn right and continue to the D27.
(4) Cross the road carefully and continue straight ahead along the old railway line for over 2 km.
(5) Leave the path on your right – which could serve as a shortcut to Mas Dieu – and carry straight on.
(6) Take the path that opens up on the right about 200 m before the D102. Turn right again at the first junction. Then turn right onto the path leading towards the solar panels and join the Mas Dieu track.
(7) Take the track on the left, go straight on at the nearby junction: watch out for dogs in the park on the left.
(8) Make a quick first turn left then right to take the south-west-facing path that follows the route of the gas pipeline. Pass under the power lines and continue straight on.
(9) Turn left and continue south-west to join the D27.
(10) Cross the road carefully towards the pumping station and take the first path immediately on the left, which leads straight back down to the car park (S/E).
