(S/E) Start and finish in the village of Le Broc, Place Cauvin, on the road to Nice that crosses the village.
Take the Fuonmurade road (marker 37).
(1) At marker 38, leave the road and take the path on the right. This path climbs very steeply for about twenty minutes: it is the only really steep climb on the entire route, so keep going!
During the climb, don't forget to turn around to admire Le Broc and the Var Valley below.
On a plateau, the path joins a track that you should follow to the right until you reach marker 40 opposite a balance chimney on the Canal de la Gravière.
(2) Be careful not to go too far: as soon as the track leaves the trees, look for the path on your left. Take it and follow it gently uphill until you reach the ridge. Enjoy the lovely view of the peaks of the Alpes Maritimes (Gelas, Argentera, etc.) and Mont Viale as you climb, mostly through forest. Once on the ridge, the path crosses the Bois du Chier and joins a track. Follow it to the right.
(3) Pass under a high-voltage power line, which you can use as a landmark on this part of the walk. In a few minutes, you will reach marker 137.
(4) Turn left towards Mouton d'Anou to reach marker 138 just after.
(5) This is where the round trip to the summit of Mouton d'Anou begins. Take the path on the right indicated by the marker.
(6) The path joins the gas line track, recognisable by the double yellow roof posts. Turn right until you see the next post: here, cairns show you the way up to the two crosses of Mouton d'Anou.
(7) From the summit, there is a magnificent panorama towards the coast (Cap d'Antibes, Lerins Islands, Pic de l'Ours, Gulf of Saint-Tropez) and towards the peaks of Mercantour and the Alpes Maritimes. Retrace your steps to marker 138.
(5) Turn right and descend along a track towards Jas Jausserand and Saint-Jeannet. After a slightly steep descent on this track, you will come across the gas line track again at marker 138a.
(8) Here, leave the track and take the path in front of you, still heading towards Jas Jausserand and Saint-Jeannet. This pretty path will take you gently downhill towards Saint-Jeannet (south) to marker 14.
(9) Here, a path branches off to the right towards La Vescagne and the Plan de Noves plateau. Ignore it and continue straight ahead towards Jas Jausserand and Saint-Jeannet. In a few minutes, you will arrive at Jas Jausserand, still used by shepherds to move their livestock. Please note: there is no water at Jas Jausserand, or anywhere else along the route.
(10) Continue straight down towards Saint-Jeannet to reach marker 13 in a few minutes.
(11) Leave the path towards Saint-Jeannet and take the path on the left that climbs back up towards Le Broc via the Vallon de la Sine. The path climbs steeply in two or three hairpin bends and joins the path to Le Broc, which you have actually already passed around marker 14. This makes the route slightly longer, but it is worth passing through Jas Jausserand.
The path climbs about 50 metres and then begins a very gentle and long descent towards Le Broc in the Vallon de la Sine. Continue until you cross the gas line track again at marker 39.
(12) Leave the path that climbs to the Sommet du Broc on your right and continue opposite into the Vallon de la Sine with its green meadows (even at the end of August) and hundred-year-old oak trees. You will pass under the high-voltage line one last time and begin to see the Vallée du Var first and then the village of Le Broc. The path joins a road.
(13) Turn right onto this road to find marker 38.
(1) From there, go down the Route de la Fuonmurade and continue to Place Cauvin (S/E).
