The hike starts at the car park of the Grande Usine des Moulinages, located towards the village exit in the direction of Saoû on the right.
(S/E) Head north-east, cross the bridge over the Roubion and take the small street on the left before the tunnel. Continue straight ahead along the narrow street lined with houses, leave the bridge on your left and continue along the street until the end of the climb (Le Château).
Turn right onto a small paved road that climbs and turns into a path. This quickly rises above the last houses, enters the woods and goes around a ruin at the back.
(1) Continue climbing to the left towards the northeast until you reach a crossroads (Les Buis). Take the path on the right and then, at the next crossroads, turn right again. The view opens up and the path descends slightly to pass under the cliffs.
(2) At the bottom of the descent (Pas de L'Oursière), take the path on the left that runs along the scree. Follow this path around the Sainte-Euphémie mountain to a small pass (Petit Plat).
(3) Turn left. The trail continues flat through the woods for about 100 metres before reaching another crossroads (Sainte-Euphémie).
(4) Make a round trip by climbing the rocks on the right to enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Rocher des Fours, then retrace your steps. Continue towards the summit, taking the path opposite, heading south. It joins the side of the mountain, passes a small rocky promontory with an unobstructed view of the plain, then climbs up a few switchbacks to approach the summit.
(5) Before starting the descent via the path that turns right, make a return trip to the summit. To do this, take the path through the box trees on the left, then turn left again a few metres further on and head back to the summit.
Then continue south-southeast and descend via the path overlooking Pont-de-Barret. Join the path you took on the way up, turn right and continue to the ruins.
(1) Go back along the path on the left to reach the statue of the Virgin Mary.
Then return to the car park by taking the first bridge on the right. This street joins the main road and the car park on the left (S/E).

Well... So... I've recently taken up hiking again, and the elevation gain has been very tough for me. My son loved it, but my daughter asked me why I always choose such steep trails! For people who aren't very athletic, it's not easy, but it's still worth the effort: there are some beautiful views! We had a lovely sunny day and the few shaded areas were very welcome. Everything was well written on the route and clearly signposted on the ground!
