There are several car parks in Lagrasse, the closest to the start is P2, near the police station.
GR 36: Red and white markings
(S/E) From the police station, take the main road (D3) towards the bridge over the Orbieu. Cross it, remembering to admire the old bridge on the left.
(1) At the intersection shortly after the bridge, leave the tarmac road and turn left onto the path that climbs into the forest, between the hiking signs. The path climbs up the ridge through the forest. There are not many views on this section.
(2) Passing close to a dry stone building, the path becomes flatter and the view opens up a little more onto the surrounding landscape. Continue along this good path for another kilometre.
Yellow markings
(3) At the T-junction, leave theGR® and take the carriageway on the left, where the descent begins. After a few dozen metres, you can cut across the bends by taking a small, fairly steep path on the right, which will join the carriageway further down.
Follow the track around two hairpin bends, ending up on the hillside. Enjoy the view of the village and Lagrasse Abbey throughout the descent. Pass between olive groves and vineyards.
(4) Continue straight ahead at the junction with the D41, now on a tarmac road. Enter the village of Lagrasse.
(5) Pass close to Sainte-Marie Abbey in Lagrasse (the public area is open to visitors).
(6) Follow the D41 to the old bridge on the right. Continue straight ahead along Rue des Cancans to cross the village and reach the car park (S/E).
