Park in the Trois Piscines car park. To get there, head to Sainte-Lucie de Porto Vecchio towards Bastia: turn left at the only set of traffic lights. Carry on straight ahead and pass through Taglia Rossu. Continue along the road until you reach the treetop adventure park. From there, there are car parks (in case of strong winds); otherwise, continue along the track for about 2.5 km, skirting the Cavu pools, until you reach the upper car park at the Trois Piscines bar. It is now forbidden to park between the two car parks.
(S/E) The walking route starts on the track on the left, the one that climbs above the Bar des Trois Piscines (the track on the right, which is flat, leads to the Pont Marion). Initially heading north, the track curves to the left, towards the west. Pass a square granite reservoir on the left. Cross a stream at a hairpin bend to the right.
(1) Shortly afterwards, at a widening of the track (elevation 345), leave the track and take a path on the right (broken gate). After a gentle descent, the gradient increases. About a hundred metres past a right-hand bend, look out for a 4x4 car park on the left marked by a small oak tree.
(2) Continue straight ahead (north-east). The bushes thin out and, after a right-hand bend, the path widens. Continue until you reach some young conifers on the left near the stream.
(3) Here, you’ll find a path branching off to the left and descending steeply for 10 metres: this leads to a lovely pool (altitude approx. 247 m), about fifty metres from the confluence of the Mela and Sainte-Lucie streams.
(4) Retrace your steps back to the 4x4 car park.
(2) Take a path on the right (north-west) and descend to a double pool (altitude approx. 260 m) and a waterfall.
(5) Retrace your steps back to the 4x4 car park.
(2) Turn left and head back up the track in the opposite direction to the way out.
(1) Follow the track to the left back to the starting point (S/E).
