Car park at the junction of Chemin de Safrus and Chemin du Devois in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon.
(S) Head north, then turn right 50 metres further on onto Chemin de Safrus. The DFC signs confirm that you are on the right route. Continue along this main track, pass the Ferme de la Garenne and you will come to a large right-hand bend.
(1) Leave the barrier on your right and continue straight ahead on a small path that will take you to Route de Four.
(2) Turn right, leave the Chemin des Collines on your right and continue along a small path that runs alongside the crossroads. Once on the road, turn right and go behind the bus stop.
(3) Immediately turn right onto Chemin des Abeilles. Stay on this path: when the slope levels out, you will see several paths crossing it. Make a wide right turn to find even more paths on either side, ignore them and continue on the same path until you reach the top of the hill.
Then leave the path and take the small trail on the left that joins Chemin de Safrus.
(4) Turn left, pass in front of the Ferme de la Garenne again, and go under the high-voltage power line.
Be careful near the large rocks; since May 2016, the path leading up to the pointed castle has been closed.
Continue to the last house on your left, signposted 30km/h.
(5) Take the small path that climbs to the left, stay on this path until you reach the tarmac road, turn left and climb up to Château Pointu.
(6) Enjoy the view and return down the same path.
(7) Shortly after the high-voltage power line, turn left to continue on the path overlooking the Rhône. Stay as close to the cliff as possible. You will arrive at the tarmac road (Chemin de Devois)
(8) Turn left (south) to the car park.
