Parking: When arriving in Ceps from Roquebrun, before the bridge over the Orb, go down the DFCI track for 100 metres and park at the side.
(S/E) Go back up the road, cross the bridge over the Orb and turn left for 100 metres.
(1) At the car park, take the track on the left towards the river and pass under the first arch of the bridge. It climbs along a ledge above the Orb and ends at a terraced vineyard.
(2) Just after the vineyard, leave the main track that descends towards the Razègue farm and continue left along the Chemin de Ceps à Boissezon. It crosses the Razègue valley, then passes through a very steep slope before leaving the gorges to cross the wooded Bourède valley and return above the Orb.
(3) Continue through the vineyards, descending towards Boissezon for 600 metres.
(4) Just before the Ruisseau du Bac, turn left to follow the old path that crosses the spoil heaps of an old manganese mine and climb up the valley towards the Col du Bac.
(5) Turn left and climb up the D177 for 350 metres to reach the Col du Bac.
(6) Leave the road and turn left onto the farm track that runs between two vineyards. After 150m, at a hairpin bend, continue straight ahead along the track until you reach a fork.
(7) Continue along the main path, which descends to the right. It runs through the heath on the hillside, passes near a mine, climbs and crosses a ridge (unique views of the Gorges d'Héric and the Espinouse massif). It then descends and ends at the top of the terraced vineyards of Grésios. Continue straight ahead at the next two junctions, then turn left after the cross to return to Ceps.
(1) Continue for a few metres and turn right onto the bridge to return to the car park (S/E).
