Description of the walk

Starting point: Tourist Office (next to the Town Hall) (Château Goerg car park).

(S/E) From Château Goerg, take the street on the right towards the church. Take the passage just before the church to reach Place de la Fontaine Moussue.

(1) Cross the street (D56) and take Grand'Rue downhill to Place du Lavoir Saint-Roch.

(2) Take Rue Saint-Donat on the left, which becomes Chemin du Vignaou, until you reach Chapelle Saint-Donat.

(3) Continue along Chemin du Vignaou until you reach the crossroads (signposted towards Montauroux). Turn left onto the road towards Montauroux via Chemin de Mayan, going uphill until you reach a crossroads.

(4) Ignore Chemin du Collet de Bigarel on the right and continue left. At the crossroads, turn right onto Chemin de la Ferrage, which climbs steeply, following the signs for Montauroux. When you reach the village, take the street on the right opposite the potter's to reach Place du Clos. Take the opportunity to stroll around the village or follow the "Au Fil des Ruelles" heritage route.

(5) Alternatively, return to Callian by retracing your steps. Please note: there is a steep descent and ascent to reach the village (S/E).
