Park at the Trois Termes car park.
(S/E) Take the path at the back of the car park on the right, with your back to the road.
(1) When you reach a small esplanade, take the path on the right downhill and around the bend. Further on, cross the small ravine and continue on the path opposite.
(2) Leave the track on the right via the path leading to Lac du Paty. Cross the footbridge, take the path uphill opposite and then cross a track. Further up, join another track.
(3) Turn left.
(4) Leave the track and take the uphill path on the right. Keep going in the same direction. 200 to 300 metres further on, enjoy the view of the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Château du Barroux. Then descend towards the plain and the village of Caromb.
(5) Leave the path and turn left to reach the ruins of the Pré Fantasti manor house (path not shown on the IGN map). Stop for a moment around the manor house to read all the information panels, then continue along the path.
(6) Take the road on the right to reach the Paty valley car park. Cross the car park and go over the bridge.
(7) Immediately afterwards, take the path on the left and begin the climb back up. Further up, turn right to join a track. Follow it to the right for about 50 metres, then take a path on the left and continue straight ahead.
(8) At the crossroads, turn left, then right after about 100 metres onto a path that runs alongside the Malagrone stream.
(9) Turn right, cross a stream and follow the path opposite, even if it is not shown on the IGN map, still along the Malagrone stream. Further on, in rainy weather, admire the small waterfall below on the right. Just before a ruined building, turn right to cross the Malagrone stream and continue to the D19.
(10) To avoid taking the road, cross carefully and take the path opposite. After 100 metres, take the track on the left, which will take you back to the Trois Termes car park (S/E).
