From Aubenas towards Le Puy-en-Velais (N102), turn left onto the D19 at Lalevade-d'Ardèche.
Park in the car park at Col de la Croix de Bauzon.
(S/E) From the car park, cross the D19 carefully to take the road opposite.
(1) After about 100 metres, the road becomes a track which you take to pass to the left of the barn towards Le Bez. Follow this track until you reach the signpost for Bois des Rabeyres.
(2) Leave the path on the left and continue along the track towards Mayres, which continues to climb until it reaches a hairpin bend. Continue to the fork at the signpost: Rocher des Taillades.
(3) Take a grassy path (white-yellow markings) on the right. Follow this path, which passes by the Tour des Poignets.
(4) The path leads to a track at the signpost: Fautouras, which you take on the left towards Rocher d'Abraham.
(5) The track becomes a ridge path that leads to Col de Mendras on a grassy platform.
(6) Leave the ridge trail and turn left to begin a winding descent through the forest until you reach the mountain-side trail, which you follow to the sign: Statue.
(7) From there, follow the three yellow dots that lead through a maze of rocks to the statue.
(8) Turn back to the Fautouras signpost.
(4) Leave the path (white-yellow) on your right and continue along the track on the left.
(9) A little further on, take the path on the right until you reach a small road above a house.
(1) Take this road on the left and shortly afterwards you will come back to the road you took at the start. Turn left to reach the crossroads and the car park where you started (S/E).
Beautiful hike, but the markings are not very visible on the final climb to the top of Abraham's Rock....
