At the junction of the dirt track and the D611, park so as not to obstruct access to the farmland and the DFCI.
(S/E) Follow the correct track as it climbs, heading east-northeast.
Ignore the turnings leading to the vineyards. Continue along the main track, passing a fenced-off vineyard on your right.
After 350 m, you will have passed the vineyard and will come to a fork in the track.
(1) Turn right, heading east. Then, after 175 m, the path turns due south; ignore a path branching off to the left (apiary).
(2) Continue along the main track, which slopes eastwards and climbs steeply.
After about 600 m, you reach an unnamed pass on the map, situated below the summit of Pech Fourcan. Here you will find a crossroads.
(3) Take the path branching off to the right (due south) and climbing to the summit of Pech Fourcan, which you will reach.
(4) Follow the path down southwards to the four-way junction (700 m), where you will find a ruined sheepfold (on the right).
(5) Continue along the path southwards towards Roc Malpas, whose cliffs rise up before you.
After 200 m, the path becomes a narrow track through the kermes oaks.
You arrive at the foot of the first foothills of Roc Malpas.
You will see a shapeless pile of stone blocks: this is what remains of a defensive wall from the time of the prehistoric watchtower.
You set foot on the rock; the final ascent to the summit is via the easiest route, heading north-northeast and crossing three gaps. (Caution: experience of this terrain is required).
The second gap, known as the Malpas (bad step), is tricky as you have to downclimb (small holds).
(6) For the descent, follow the same route back to the Bergerie des 4 Chemins.
(5) There, turn left (west); after 300 m, you’ll reach a fork.
Turn sharply right. Follow this good dirt track for about 900 m.
When you reach a fork, take the path on the right, heading north-north-east for 500 m.
You will return to the junction from the outward journey.
(2) Return via the same route as on the way out to the starting point (S/E).
