In Six-Fours, go to Avenue de la Paved Slanting Street, for example from the Playes district.
Opposite 1168 Avenue de la Paved Slanting Street, in front of which there is a parking space for one car, go up Allée des Chênes and park immediately on the right: there is parking for several cars in front of a boules court.
(S/E) Return to Avenue de la Paved Slanting Street and head north.
(1) On the right as you descend, take Chemin de Terron, which is initially a paved road for about 600 metres before becoming a dirt track. Continue straight ahead along the plain where La Reppe flows. The track turns right and begins to climb, turning its back on the Reppe. Soon you will come to a barrier, beyond which the track is paved again and is called Chemin de Pépiole, leading to the entrance of the Pépiole chapel estate.
On the left, a beautiful gravel path lined with olive trees leads to the Notre-Dame de la Pépiole Chapel.
After visiting the chapel, return to the Chemin de Pépiole and continue eastwards for a short distance.
(2) Soon you will find a concrete path on the right that climbs southwards. This is Chemin de Tante Victoire. Follow it for about 300 metres until you reach an esplanade where you can see the remains of a railway line.
(3) You are now at the entrance to the old iron mine. On the right, a path follows the remains of the curved railway track, but right next to it, despite the vegetation that is increasingly invading it, you can see the quarry where the iron ore was mined. You can visit this quarry, although access is difficult due to the vegetation. On the other side of the path, a section of railway track leads to the site where the tailings were dumped.
Then take the path that follows the curved track northwards. This path leads into the forest and scrubland of Tante Victoire hill, first heading north, then gradually turning left to head west and then south-west.
At roughly the highest point of this path, you will come to a cement track that climbs to the left towards large water tanks and descends to the right, soon joining Avenue de la Paved Slanting Street.
Cross a housing estate and follow a bend to the left, where the track becomes a street that leads to Avenue de la Paved Slanting Street.
(4) Turn right onto this avenue, which first climbs and then descends after its intersection with Avenue de Font Vert. About 400 m after this intersection, you will find Allée des Chênes climbing up on the left and the starting car park (S/E).
