Departure from the Combettes car park
(S/E) Walk up from the car park towards the church, cross the D902 and continue along Rue des Serres towards Saint-Andéol-de-Berg.
(1) Turn right onto Rue de la Couronne and continue straight downhill until you cross the Ibie (submersible bridge). Continue on the other side along a wide path. You will come to a small plateau at the foot of a deforested hill on the right.
(2) Leave the marked path and take a trail on the right, then immediately left onto another trail that climbs straight up the hill along a fence. The slope is quite steep but the trail is good and clearly visible all the way to the top. Continue along the ridge. After a short descent on the west side, join a path.
White and yellow markings
(3) Turn left to climb back up to the ridge. After about 2 km, you will reach a crossroads with a path to the right and left.
(4) Leave the wide path and turn right. Please note that the markings are not very visible at this junction. Continue along the path that runs alongside the access road to Pereyrolle, a private road with an access gate. Join the road and turn left at the junction with the Bagel road. You will arrive at the junction leading to Tichet.
(5) Take the path on the right, which allows you to cross the Ibie on a footbridge without getting your feet wet at the ford on the road. You will arrive at the D558. Head north for 300 metres , taking care, until you reach a shed on the left.
(6) Turn left onto a small road. After passing a house, continue along the path, ignoring two paths on the right, and continue climbing until you reach the Cornet hiking sign.
(7) Turn right, then right again at the next junction.
(8) At the Serre Donde hiking signpost, take the Route Royale on the right until you reach the Terme Noir signpost.
Partially unmarked
(9) Take the path on the left, then immediately afterwards, take an unmarked trail on the right. Join a wider track, then the Route Royale again. This short detour along a parallel trail breaks up the monotony.
(10) After a small pass, leave the marked road that descends into a pine forest on the left. Take a wide track on the right, then 50 metres further on, take a path that climbs up to the left.
(11) When you leave the forest, before a straight descent, take the first path on the left. Continue along the ridge until you rejoin the Route Royale in an open area. Follow to the right for 50 metres.
(12) Leave the road again and take a small path on the left that climbs between two stone walls. At the next junction, turn right onto a wider track that descends and returns to the marked road.
White and yellow markings
(13) Before the first house, turn right back, walk along a vineyard and then leave the path at a right-hand bend to take a small staircase. Continue along the path, which becomes a wide track and then a tarmac road as you arrive in the hamlet of Petit Tournon.
(14) Turn right onto Rue de la Fontaine, then left onto Rue de l'Arceau. Cross the D558 and follow the road to Villeneuve-de-Berg.
(15) Turn left onto Rue Edouard Morel, then right onto Rue Notre-Dame (D558), which will take you back to the Combettes car park (S/E).
