The circular loops around the Restant du Long Rocher

Car park at the end of the Route de la Vallée.

(S/E) Once in the car park, there is a large open area blocked off with large cobblestones. Past the cobblestones, take the path on the right, the “Route du Néant”.
At the first junction with a blue-marked path, follow this path to the left for 300 m until the next junction.

(1) Carry on straight ahead; shortly afterwards, ignore a path on the left and, further on, cross the Route du Languedoc.

(2) After crossing the Route du Languedoc, turn left and continue to follow the blue markings. You’ll reach a rocky section. The maritime pines are marked with large blue signs; there are several lovely viewpoints. Grotte Béatrix is on the left.

(3) Continue following the blue markings, alternating between rocky sections and paths.

(4) At the junction with the “Plaine Verte” path, turn left. Leave the marked trail. At the end of this path, you’ll reach the car park (where you can meet up with the second group if necessary) and turn left onto the “Route de la Mort”.

(1) Carry on straight ahead along the “Route de la Grande Vallée”, a sandy bridle path. Do not follow the markings. Continue along this track and, at the second path on the left, turn onto the “Route du Croc Marin”.

(5) At the first track, turn right onto the Route de Varsovie, which you follow. At the junction with the Route de la Gravine, go straight on and follow this track for a few metres.
Turn right onto the “Route du Roi de Pologne”. Cross the Route du Long Rocher and veer slightly to the right, still on the Route du Roi de Pologne.
At the end, turn left onto Route du Râle.

(6) At the crossroads, take the path furthest to the left, marked with blue signs; this is a very steep, sandy path.
At the top, take the steps on the left to reach the summit of Haut Mont. Follow the blue markings to the junction at the bottom of the descent, ignoring all the paths branching off to the right or left.

(7) Turn right onto the “Route du Long Rocher”, at a right angle. There are no further markings. Pass a path on the right and continue to a junction where six paths meet.

(8) Take the “Route de la Mort”, the path furthest to the left. This path takes you back to the car park (S/E).
