The four villages of Saint-Marcellin, Faucon, Entrechaux and Saint-Romain

Park in the car park at the Salle des Fêtes in Saint-Romain-en-Viennois.

(S/E) Walk downhill, heading due south, keeping the football pitch on your right. Leave the tarmac and continue to the first junction.

(1) Take the path that climbs slightly to the right. Follow this narrow, stony path uphill.

(2) At the crossroads, take care: take the path leading uphill, straight ahead, keeping in the same direction. The climb is short but very steep.

(3) As you emerge from the woodland, rejoin the forest track and follow the disused vineyard, keeping it on your right.

(4) Just before entering the forest, turn right. Continue alongside the vineyard, then head up into the woods via the path on the left. You’ll reach a junction of forest tracks.

(5) Stay on the narrow path on the left which runs alongside the forest track. Join the track further on and follow it.

(6) Just before the cistern, leave the forest track and take the path on your left, then walk gently uphill to Darbousset.

(7) Turn left. Continue along the path, then onto a slightly wider track, until you reach the Chemin du Dévés.

(3) Turn right and stay on this wide track. Ignore two turnings on the left, then take a sharp right-hand bend.

(8) Look out for the path on the left, which you’ll take on the way back, and carry on straight ahead until you reach the Chemin d’Entrechaux.

(9) Cross this path to follow the wide track opposite.

(10) 200 metres before the house, take the small path on the right, which climbs quite steeply through the forest, until you reach the olive grove at the edge of the woodland; go round it on the left until you reach the wide forest track. Carry on until you reach the junction with the Chemin d’Entrechaux.

(11) Head back down this small tarmac road to the right.

(9) Join the Chemin du Devès on the left.

(8) Turn right to head down past the vineyard on your left. Go round it on the left to find a small path under the trees. Follow this path until you reach the Y-junction at the start.

(1) Then turn right towards the Salle des Fêtes to return to the car park (S/E).

A very easy walk with no major risks. Can be done in trainers.

Lovely views of Mont Ventoux and the town of Vaison.
