Start from the car park near the church in the hamlet of Les Lombards (municipality of La Répara-Auriples).
Yellow markings
(S/E) Continue along the road, pass in front of the church and then turn right onto Chemin des Sources. Continue along a track, keeping a fence on your left, then at the edge of the woods, ignore the grassy path opposite and turn right. Continue along this track, ignoring the secondary paths on either side. Alternate between two flat sections and two climbs to reach a clearing surrounded by wire fencing (water catchment protection area).
(1) Leave the track and follow the path on the right that runs alongside the wire fence. Enter the woods and continue along a mule track on a slight incline. A few metres further on, look for a small path on the left (return). Continue straight ahead and you will begin to see the remains of walls, then pass the shoulder to go around the old castle. Ignore the paths on the right and continue on the opposite slope until you reach the corner of a cultivated field, still on a slight incline.
No more markings
(2) Take the less marked path on the left and stay in the undergrowth. Continue for about 50 metres and look for a small, barely visible path that starts between the larger oak trees on the right.
(3) Continue straight ahead on the well-marked path and reach the Trois Croix viewpoint with its orientation table.
(4) After enjoying the view, return to the fork in the path you spotted earlier, about 50 metres before the cultivated field.
(3) Take the small, barely visible path on the left, walk a few metres along the edge of the cultivated field on your right, then enter the woods. The route becomes a little more visible. Reach the ridge overlooking the catchment area.
Turn left, walk a few metres and look for a viewpoint about ten metres to the right.
On your return, head down into the valley, veering slightly to the left of the ridge, and follow it downhill. Pass through a slightly stony area and you will reach the mule track you took on the way up.
Turn right and follow the fence around the catchment area.
(1) Take the track downhill and follow the same route back to the car park in the hamlet of Les Lombards (S/E).
