Roc la Tour from Thilay

Park in front of Saint-Rémi Church.

(S/E) With the church on your left, turn into Rue Éva Thomé opposite, then turn left into Rue de la Motte to reach the war memorial.

(1) Continue straight ahead on Rue de la Roche, then take the path on the left up to the village cemetery. Go around the cemetery on the right, then turn right until you reach a stream. Cross the stream, then climb up to a crossroads.

(2) Turn left onto the path that follows the bottom of the Source Blossette stream valley and joins a wide path that supports the GR®16.

(3) Cross it and turn left between two pasture areas, where the path is often wet. At the next fork, take the left-hand path and continue to the edge of the national forest.

(4) Follow this boundary to the left and join the Blossette path at Roc la Tour (GR®16).

(5) Cross it and head opposite on a small flat path to the top of the Roche aux Corpias cliff. Turn right (north) and, via a pretty rocky path, rejoin the GR® 16 you crossed earlier.

(6) Follow this trail to the left until you reach Roc la Tour.

(7) Descend to the right, heading south, away from the car park, along a wide path, then turn left as soon as possible to approach the boundary between the two municipalities. The path follows this boundary at a distance, then turns left to cross a small ditch and descend to the Route Forestière des Éteignères (tarmac).

(8) Cross the road, walk along the flat path to a small stream, cross it, then take the path on the right to reach the Ruisseau de la Gire after two hairpin bends.

(9) Descend to the right and join the Naux footbridge: passage prohibited since 26 March 2025.

(10) Leave the Transsemoisienne and take the GR®16 on the right. Pass a crossroads and continue to the top of the hill.

(11) Descend to the left towards the village. Take Rue de la Roche down to the war memorial you passed on the way up.

(1) Turn left onto Rue de la Motte, then right onto Rue Éva Thomé to return to the car park (S/E).

Warning: access to the upper part of the Corpias cliff may be prohibited at certain times of the year for biotope protection reasons. In this case, the route between (5) and (6) must be taken via the GR®16.

There are tables and benches near the (7) on the way to the car park.
