Located in the town centre on Boulevard de la République, Noves Infos (former Tourist Office) can provide you with information if you have any questions. You can park on the boulevard (note: blue zone) or in the town hall car park (both are free).
(S/E) From Noves Infos, head north on Boulevard de la République/D30. At the roundabout with the fountain, turn left onto Rue de la 1ère Armée (formerly Porte de Courrèges, which no longer exists). Then turn right onto Rue Jean Moulin. Take the second left, Rue Bournissac, which leads to the pretty, shaded Place Lagnel, and turn right. At the end of the square, turn right onto Rue du Marcat, which leads to Place de l'Église.
(1) On the left, you will see ramparts with a medieval gate, known as the Tour d'Aurose: pass underneath it. After this gate, turn right and continue to the roundabout (cooperative wine cellar on the left). Continue straight on Avenue Agricol Viala. After the retirement home, turn left towards Notre-Dame du Puech (marked as Pitié on the map). Go around the retirement home on the right and you will reach the chapel.
(2) Follow the small hill on the right, which is lined with the Way of the Cross. Continue along the dirt road towards the west, descend briefly along Chemin du Puech and reach the cemetery roundabout. Continue straight ahead on Chemin de la Fabrique.
(3) At the intersection, turn left onto Chemin de Derrière l'Église, then continue along Chemin du Jeu de Mail. Continue straight ahead and cross a small bridge. Then turn left onto Chemin du Pont des Dindes. At the fork, go left.
(4) Turn right and walk along the bottom of the castle esplanade (orientation table and view of the village and surrounding area, picnic area) on Rue Marc Mielly. At the next intersection, turn right twice. Follow Route d'Eyragues to the bridge over the Anguillon.
(5) Cross this bridge, turn right onto Montée du Rougadou and ignore two small streets on the right and a turn-off on the left.
(6) At the intersection, turn right and continue straight ahead until you reach the orientation table.
(7) Retrace your steps.
(6) This time, turn right onto the long climb up Rougadou hill. After a wide bend to the left, follow Chemin des Crêtes for about 1.5 km, heading south-southwest, ignoring all the side roads. At the end, turn right for a few metres (Chemin Roumieux coming from the left).
(8) At the crossroads, turn left onto Chemin des Abbeies. At the next intersection, turn right onto Route d'Eyragues.
(9) At the next crossroads, take the left-hand descent via Chemin Chicard de Pouvarel and pass between the Notre-Dame de Vacquières chapel and its spring (drinking water). Shortly before an intersection with another road, take a dirt track on the right. Continue straight ahead and at the end, turn left onto a small road (Chemin du Grès). At the next junction, turn right. You will come to an intersection with a cross behind the cypress hedge (Croix de Villargelle).
(10) Turn left, cross the stream (Grand Anguillon), and take the first road on your left. Then take the first tarmac road on the right.
(11) At the bend, continue along the tarmac road on the right until you reach the RD30 (approximately 400m).
Cross the D30 and follow it to the left towards Noves until you reach the bus stop called "la Tapy" (opposite the Zaccarelli greengrocer's).
(12) Turn right onto Chemin du Vallat Neuf, then left onto Chemin de l'Eau. Leave Chemin des Ferrages on your right and continue straight ahead. At the next crossroads, turn left to reach La Croix du Mas de la Croix.
