Park at Place de l'École in Méthamis, in the car park in front of or behind the school.
(S/E) With your back to the school, turn left onto the road (D5). At the crossroads, continue down this road for 400m until you reach the junction with the D14. Turn right towards Villes-sur-Auzon - Mormoiron and continue until you reach the bridge over the Nesque. Continue for 20m until you reach the crossroads.
(1) Take the road that climbs to the right (Chemin de la Gardy). This path runs alongside olive trees and climbs above the exit of the Gorges de la Nesque. Ignore all the paths on the right and continue to the end of the road.
When it ends, a cairn marks the start of the trail to the right, offering a beautiful view of Méthamis. Climb this trail through the heath to reach a flat area.
::2: Turn right when a cairn marks the start of the trail. Unofficial green markings and a few cairns guide hikers along the way. The remains of drystone shelters line the trail, which then follows an old path and a beautiful trail before coming out onto a stony track.
(3) Turn right onto this yellow-marked track to arrive 800m further on at cistern no. 137. Continue on the same track, which is joined 500m further on by another track coming from the left at the Sommet de Gacholle. Continue slightly to the right on the track that begins the descent and arrive at the Le Grand Corps crossroads.
(4) Turn left towards Villes-sur-Auzon via theGR®91(red and white markings). Stay on the main path and ignore the other paths until you reach the La Togne crossroads. Turn right towards Le Plateau and follow the signpost.
(5) Leave theGR® trail that branches off to the left and continue straight ahead towards Balavard until you reach the road (D942).
Follow this road on the right until you reach a path that branches off to the right, marked with a yellow cross.
(6) Continue right on this beautiful flat path for 600 m without any markings, then two cairns on the left mark the junction with theGR®91.
(7) Turn left onto this small path which descends like a balcony above the Gorges de la Nesque. Several cairns mark changes in direction, but stay on the main marked path.
(8) At the Les Dévens crossroads, the signposts join the dry bed of the Nesque and head opposite, towards Prés de la Grand Font, to rejoin the tarmac road.
(9) At the Prés de la Grand Font crossroads, continue climbing the road on the right to return to Place de l'École and the car park (S/E).
