Head to Venasque and park in a car park along the road, on the hill, just before entering the village.
No signposts
(S/E) Follow the road (D28) uphill towards the village. At the first crossroads (cedar tree), continue towards the church, leaving the road that descends to the right, which will be the way back.
Go around the church on the left to see the baptistery at the back of the building. Return to the entrance of the Church of Notre-Dame.
Take the Grand Rue opposite, which starts to the left of a cross. Follow this street, which runs through most of the village. Pass a small square (La Planette) and continue straight ahead, ignoring the dead-end streets on either side.
Pass the Place de la Fontaine and continue straight ahead on Rue Haute. At the end of the street, turn slightly to the right, ignore the steps on the left and you will arrive at a car park near the castle ruins.
Yellow signposting
(1) At the end of the car park (school on the left), turn right and you will soon come to a cross on Chemin de l'Appie and the Les Tours signpost. Go straight ahead towards Les Espuys on Chemin des Aires. Further on, join Chemin des Combettes coming from the left and continue straight ahead. Ignore all the roads on either side, which are only access roads to houses. Pass the signpost and continue straight ahead towards Maroane. You will come to a retirement home on your right and a sports complex on your left.
(2) Continue on the small paved road between the stadium and the retirement home. Arrive at the Maroane marker located opposite numbers 1001-1011.
(3) Turn right onto the road towards Quinsan. At the end of the descent, turn right (the IGN map is incorrect at this point). Take two bends, cross a small bridge and you will come to a crossroads 20 metres further on.
Leave the tarmac and turn left onto a dirt track. Further on, after a short stretch of tarmac, you will reach the Quinsan marker.
Red and white GR®91 signpost
(4) Continue left on a path towards Camp Long. The path turns into a trail and winds through the woods along a dry stream bed. Back in a more open area, after a rocky section, the trail turns left onto a short steep slope and arrives at a crossroads (blue and red donkey sign).
Turn right onto a very pleasant flat trail along a stone wall. Continue to the houses in the hamlet and keep going a little further to find the Camp Long signpost.
Yellow signpost
(5) Turn right onto the tarmac road towards L'Agas. After the house, the tarmac disappears; leave a path on your right (not marked on the map) and head for the signpost.
(6) Continue straight ahead towards Combe de Vaulongue. Leave a path on your right, go through the gate and continue along the path. Shortly afterwards, on the left, you will find a small equipped climbing spot. A few metres further on, leave the path and turn left onto a shaded path. About 400m further on, the path slopes to the right and, after a short stretch of scree, joins the D177.
(7) Follow the road to the left for about 50 metres and just before the crossroads, turn right onto a small track (markings not very visible in the grass). This path climbs steeply for 400 metres, continues along a ledge offering views of the Comtat Venaissin and comes out onto the plateau at a wide path.
Leave a path on your left (not marked on the map) and join a crossroads marked by a cairn.
(8) Leave the path and turn left onto a trail (the route on the map no longer corresponds to the actual terrain). Begin a gradual descent and reach a path. Turn left onto this path and quickly reach a crossroads in front of a large cedar tree.
(9) Turn right and take the path uphill. Turn left (the path marked on the map on the right is not visible on the ground), pass a hunting post and reach another crossroads 200m further on.
Turn right in front of the cairn and descend until you find a house on the edge of the D4 and the Combe de Vaulongue signpost.
(10) Follow the road to the left towards Cabissole, pass a picnic area and arrive at a car park. Leave the road, turn right to cross the car park and find a gate at the end of it.
Go through the gate and follow the path under the cedars. Leave a path on your right and go through another gate. Continue along the path, leaving a path on your right and then a second one 400 metres further on.
After a steep climb, go through another gate and join a DFCI track at the Cabissole signpost.
Red and white markings despite theGRP® designation
(11) Turn left onto the track towards Crespion. After 700m, leave a path on your left and continue on the track that descends with Venasque in sight. Ignore a path on your left (green donkey signpost) and head for the Crespion signpost.
(12) Turn left towards Chinardon, pass a concrete section and continue. Leave a path that climbs up to the left and continue to the end of the DFCI track. Return to the tarmac and continue for 200m to the signpost.
Yellow signpost
(13) Leave the road and take the path furthest to the right towards Fond de Nesque. Do not continue along the track (barrier). Follow the trail, which is not very visible at first, through the oak trees.
Go down the Combe du Diable and the path will turn left, going around a vacant lot. Return to the Fond de Nesque signpost at the end of the field.
Red and yellow signposts
(14) Continue left towards La Roberte. Follow the path that runs along or winds through the dry bed of the Nesque until you reach the signpost.
(15) Continue straight ahead towards Les Souveilles. 200m further on, at the concrete crossroads, continue to the right and quickly reach another crossroads. Follow the tarmac road to the left and you will soon reach a fork at the Les Souveilles signpost.
Continue right on the road towards Saint-Maurice. Pass a shrine dedicated to Saint Joseph and enjoy the views of Venasque before arriving at the signpost.
(16) Turn left onto a road towards Calvaire. The road climbs and joins the D4. Turn left onto this road for 10 metres and turn right onto a path. This track climbs steeply into the woods and then continues along a balcony to the Calvaire signpost.
Turn left onto the path that climbs towards Les Ponts and arrives at a paved road at an information sign. On the right, you can follow a small path carved into the rock to reach a cross on a small lookout point.
From the sign, go left up the road that joins the D28. Turn left downhill to return to the car park (S/E).
