Park at Place de la Mairie (plenty of parking spaces).
(S/E) Go up Rue de la République on the left to reach the village square and turn slightly right onto Rue Montante, which becomes Chemin des Groubelles. At the first crossroads, stay on Chemin des Groubelles and continue climbing until you reach the D100.
(1) Turn left onto the road and then immediately right onto the path to find the Tête du Soldat signpost. Continue along this track (MV100), which begins to climb.
Pass the Le Soldat junction and, 100 m further on, La Pleithe. Continue to the next fork.
(2) Turn left onto the path that climbs and continue to the cistern.
(3) At this crossroads, continue straight on theGR® de Pays trail which runs alongside the plague wall. Climb for about five kilometres on the track or, at times, on a path parallel to it, to reach the plateau. Continue to the next crossroads.
(4) Turn left, then 50 metres further on, turn left again to descend into the Oule valley via theGR®6-GR®97.
This is a long, stony descent that passes by the Fontaine de l'Oule.
(5). When the valley widens, leave a path on the right and come out onto the D100A.
(6) Once on the D100A, go up the path on the left parallel to this road, towards Lagnes. After the last steep slope and the bend, the road turns left towards Lagnes. Do not take it, but continue straight ahead for about 300 m.
(7) Leave the road and turn left onto the path heading south. Be careful at this point as the markings are confusing due to a yellow cross that causes doubt. Continue along this path through the forest, pass a beautiful property and, about 100 m further on, look for a rogation cross on the left just before reaching the road (D100a).
(8) Turn right and after 10 metres you will find the Basse Carpiane signpost. Leave the road on the right and take the path that climbs to the left towards Lagnes. Pass a beautiful house, walk along a dry stone wall, pass between houses and leave the road on the left.
Continue for about 100 metres and take a detour to the right on a path marked with a cross to see a beautiful drystone shelter. Return to the main path and turn right to descend onto the road (D186). Follow the road to the right for 100 metres to arrive at No. 427.
(9) Leave the cemetery path on your right and the road to Lagnes on your left to follow the path opposite, which goes around a house on the right. Continue along the path, which offers beautiful views of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and leads to the Château de Lagnes.
Turn right and then immediately left to pass under a portico; follow Rue Venteuse. At the next crossroads, follow the same street to the left until you reach No. 57 (house with miniature drystone shelters).
Turn right, then after a short descent, turn left into an alleyway and follow the stairs on the right. When you reach Rue des Remparts, turn left to find Rue de la République. Follow it to the right to find the car park (S/E).
