Parking available at the town hall square.
(S/E) Take the yellow trail towards Commentinge, which starts opposite the town hall in Beaumont-du-Ventoux.
Cross the hamlet, passing in front of caves used as garages, and at the exit, turn right, following the yellow markings. (A chain blocks the passage to vehicles). The path climbs steadily from the start. You will arrive at a flat area.
(1) Leave the hunters' lodge on your right and continue past the ruins of La Gavoite farm, following the main track heading south. At thefirst hairpin bend, take the path that goes straight ahead.
After crossing a clearing, keeping to the right, descend to the end before climbing back up towards theGR® 4.
(2) Continue straight ahead on theGR® 4.
(3) At the T-junction, turn left, staying on the GR®. You will be walking through a large forest of Austrian pines.
(4) You will arrive at a sort of esplanade just before a metal sign indicating the Saint-Sidoine chapel. This esplanade leads to a rocky outcrop towards La Fendarasse, which offers two beautiful viewpoints, one towards the Dentelles de Montmirail and the other towards the chapel in its green setting.
This section is off the trail and rocky, so it is best to stay on the left side of the promontory. Retrace your steps back to the metal sign.
(4) At the sign, leave theGR® (you will rejoin it at the chapel) and descend to the left.
(5) From the chapel, the descent is quite steep and stony. It leads to the hamlet of Les Alazards, which you cross, passing in front of a wash house.
(6) Follow the D 153 to the left to the hamlet of Sainte-Marguerite.
(7) Take the road on the left to cross the hamlet.
(8) From the Sainte-Marguerite Chapel, cross the bridge and the D153. Then, just after the transformer, take the path on the right that climbs into the forest. The passage of carts has carved ruts into the limestone, which is easier to understand when you reach the small pass
(9) Make a round trip by turning right towards an old quarry. After the descent, walk along the D153 for a few metres, then climb the stairs on the right to reach the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre.
(10) From the chapel, walk along the field to return via a small road behind the hamlet of Les Valettes and take the steps on the right to descend to the D153. Return to the starting point (S/E) via the D153 for about 1 km.
