Parking is available in a large car park in the centre of the village on the right after the church.
(S/E) From the fountain, walk past the church to reach Rue de l'Égalité, which climbs towards the cemetery and the 12th-century chapel.
Yellow signposts.
(1) Continue straight ahead on this small road until you reach signpost no. 2.
(2) Turn right onto Chemin de Courbon (road) towards the Saint-Saturnin Chapel.
The road descends between beautiful villas and gives way to a track at signpost no. 3.
(3) Continue towards the Chapelle Saint-Saturnin on the right. After a few metres, at the next signpost, continue straight ahead, still towards the Chapelle Saint-Saturnin.
About 50 metres further on, at a cistern, leave the track and take the path below on the right. After 200 metres, the path leaves the track and descends into the forest.
At the next intersection, continue to the right, following the yellow markings towards the Chapelle Saint-Saturnin. A winding descent begins through old terraced fields.
Cross the Canal de la Siagne and continue downhill until you reach marker no. 6.
White and redGR® markings.
(4) Descend to the left towards the Chapelle Saint-Saturnin. At marker no. 5, turn right and leave theGR® to reach the chapel a few metres below.
(5) After a nice break in this special place, retrace your steps to marker no. 6.
(4) Continue on the left, following theGR® (please note that the route on the IGN map does not correspond to the actual route!).
Gradually climb back up through the forest to return to the Siagne Canal.
No signposts
(6) Once at the canal, follow it to the left. This unusual and very pleasant route will quickly take you back to thePR® marked in yellow at a large footbridge.
Yellow markings.
(7) Follow thePR® on the left, which winds down towards the Pont des Gabres.
Shortly before reaching the bridge, a small tricky passage near a waterfall requires your attention to avoid ending up in the Siagne. This passage can be difficult or even impossible in wet weather.
Cross this magnificent bridge to reach the Var on the Pont des Tuves side. In fact, this bridge is called Pont des Gabres on the Saint-Cézaire side and Pont des Tuves on the Montauroux side.
(8) Enter the forest for a few metres, then follow the yellow markings on the right which will take you along the Siagne.
This path on the right bank runs through a dense forest with an almost tropical atmosphere along this river with surprisingly clear waters.
The passage near a footbridge marks roughly the halfway point of the Siagne river. Then pass over a large ruin of the former Siagne paper mill.
Continue to the end of this path to a pretty bridge at the end of a beautiful rapid!
(9) Cross the bridge and then climb up to the right towards the village of Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne. After a few hairpin bends, cross the canal one last time and you will soon reach the final straight climb in the sunshine!
(10) Once on the RD105 road, go straight up into the village, following the path that will take you to the church.
Then turn left, then left again onto Rue de la Liberté to reach the viewpoint at Place du 8 mai 1945.
Retrace your steps to return to the starting point on your left at the fountain (S/E).
