Leave from the Gigondas Town Hall where the car park is located.
(S/E) Leave to the right of the town hall (south-south-east) on the Chemin des Dentelles with the GRP (Red and Yellow waymarking). Follow the lovely climb uphill for at least 1 km until you arrive at a crossroads.
(1) Turn left in the direction of the "Dentelles de Montmirail" (Blue waymarking), between the grape vines. Go around a sharp bend to the right. At the next crossroads, turn left and ignore the path opposite. You will reach the access path to a lookout.
(2) On the left, go up and back to the lookout, the 'Rocher du Midi', where you will find an orientation table (benches and tables), then return back to the path.
Next take the CFCDI road on the left for 100 m (very wide path) going along the bottom of the Dentelles Sarrasines, then take the waymarked path on the right (south-east) which takes you to the foot of the dentelles (the small chain of mountains). After 1.5 km on this quite challenging path, you will reach a crossroads. Turn left onto a path going downhill which takes you to a very large space, the Cayron Pass, also used as a car park (not recommended though as it is not passable for vehicles).
(3) Head in the direction of "Gigondas" until you are in front of the "Florets" wine domaine, where you follow the Blue waymarking on the path going downhill to your left alongside a large car park. At the bottom of the car park, veer to the right (50m) where you will find the Tonin fountain.
Then re-trace your steps and take the path opposite, leaving the car park and the domaine on your right. After 100 m, you will find a private vegetable garden on your right, and a single-track path going alongside the wooden fence.
(4) Continue on to the north through the undergrowth and then join the GRP (Red and Yellow waymarking).
(5) Change direction to the west (to the left) and continue on until you enter the village.
(6) Head in the direction of the 'Montée des Hospices' on the left and then take the first right in order to go through the centre of the old town, before going downhill towards the town hall and the car park (S/E).
Very nice walk
