Description of the walk

Park on the small access road to the hamlet of La Célarie.

(S/E) Walk back up towards the junction with the D8. Turn right onto the small tarmac road towards Puits de Lusinas. It goes uphill and then back downhill.

(1) At the bend leading to the hamlet of Puits de Lusinas, leave the tarmac and take the path straight ahead, signposted for cyclists, which descends through a small deciduous woodland.

(2) At the junction with the dirt track, cross it and take the path opposite which continues to descend.

(3) At the junction signposted by the Pilat Regional Nature Park (PNR du Pilat), turn right and follow the main track down, ignoring all other tracks. View of the village and church of Thélis-la-Combe.

(4) When you come within sight of the tarmac road, do not continue down towards it but turn right onto the path that leads uphill.

(5) When you reach the hamlet of La Combe, follow the road on the left for a few metres, then turn right between the houses onto the path leading up towards Pierre Morte. Stay on the main path until you rejoin the small access road to La Célarie. Take the road on the right back to your car (S/E).

We couldn't find the starting point, so we chose a marked trail (on site)!
