Park in the large car park at the entrance to the village above the roundabout.
(S/E) From the car park, turn left onto Rue du Pont, go up Grand Rue on the right and continue straight ahead onto Chemin de la Chapelle.
(1) Before turning left onto the rocky slabs, walk up to the 16th-century Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre. Turn back, climb up the rocky slabs and then climb up to the left above the three crosses to reach the "Sentinelles" (a work of art in homage to the quarry workers -2013- in the form of a landscape observatory, consisting of fourteen vertical planes defining the landscape). There is a vast panorama from Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Mont Ventoux, with the Lance massif in the background.
Go back a little and climb left onto the path that passes over rocky slabs above the Sentinelles. Continue on this main path, which follows the hillside and overlooks the landscape (panoramic view visible through gaps in the vegetation).
(2) At the fork, climb left into the woods, ignoring the paths that descend until you reach a wider path. Turn right onto this path. Look out for several water catchment areas. Stay on the main path, which continues along the hillside.
When you see the chapel, keep to the left and continue climbing. At the top, on a flat area, turn right.
(3) Turn right again after the ruins of a quarryman's house and pass between large blocks of stone.
At the fork, keep left to climb up to the Sainte-Juste Chapel. First, you will come to a round table with benches overlooking the town of Saint-Paul and the Rhône valley, then access the chapel via steps. Magnificent 180° panorama with orientation table.
(4) Retrace your steps and keep right on the path that passes above the large blocks of stone you saw on the way up. Continue straight ahead to reach the old stone quarries. After passing between high carved walls, you will reach what remains of the image theatre (1997-2003) installed in disused quarries in the style of the Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence. It is possible to walk through them. Some of the installations are still visible (cables, projector supports).
(5) Retrace your steps. Then follow the path to the left of the theatre of images (with the theatre on your right) - small VTT9 sign. Ignore the turn-off to the right (VTT9) and continue on the main path, keeping to the left. At the crossroads, continue to the right until you reach the "brake building". It housed the winch located above the inclined plane designed as a funicular railway, which transported blocks of stone by wagon to the bottom of the hill, in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux.
Then enter the quarries (be careful: risk of falling rocks) located behind the building, going around it on the left. Stay on the wide trail left by numerous curious visitors. First go straight ahead, then keep to the left in front of a pillar (passage blocked by rubble, graffiti depicting a skull). Keep left to pass in front of a pillar with graffiti depicting a tongue sticking out. Then turn right, descending along a wide path; continue straight ahead towards the graffiti depicting a large eye.
Go straight ahead, take the path that climbs up opposite, go around the quarries staying on the main path that overlooks the various quarry entrances, keep right at the fork to stay on this chalk-coloured path, then go straight ahead until you come out under the belvedere at the entrance to the cathedral cellars of Mas Théo.
(6) From the entrance gate to the cathedral cellars, take the track above on the left that leads to the weather radar (go through the barrier). Turn left onto the path opposite the transformer. Stay on this main path (caution: quarries on the left below, do not approach the edge). Ignore the other paths. At the fork, stay right on the same path. At the T-junction, in front of a large oak tree, turn left then right onto the wide carriageway (marker B8) until you reach marker B9 (B8 and B9 mark the routes on the Barry massif).
(7) At marker B9, keep left (VTT8) and continue straight ahead on the main path towards Saint-Restitut.
After a bumpy descent, you will reach a T-junction.
(8) At the T-junction, turn left (VTT8) and continue along a wide track (VTT8) until you reach the tarmac road. Keep to the right a little further on to reach the Belvédère road.
(9) On the Belvédère road, descend further to the right and then turn left onto Chemin de la Bistoure.
Then continue downhill, keeping to the right on Chemin du Front de Taille. At the T-junction, continue left onto Chemin de la Baume. When you reach the calvary:
- you can take Rue de l'Église to stroll through the narrow streets and discover the pretty village of Saint-Restitut.
- you can descend further to the right to the car park below the pharmacy and bakery.
Reach the car park (S/E) via Rue du Pont.
