Description of the walk

(S/E) Go to the roundabout and take a narrow lane on the right called Chemin du Rosaire, which you will follow to the top to reach the Monastery of the Annunciation. You will come to a staircase.

(3) Take the paved sl anting street to the left of the private road sign. You will reach the monastery esplanade.
