(S/E) Return to the bridge over the Merderie stream.
(1) Ignore the bridge and turn left towards Bramard, continuing until you reach the first fork.
(2) Follow the left fork. When you reach a farm, continue without entering the courtyard and turn right. Keep left at the intersection just after to head towards a second farm.
(3) In the left-hand bend, take the path on the right that climbs up into the marl (black earth) and follow the yellow PR® markings throughout the hike.
The climb is quite steep and the path is sometimes very narrow along a very steep slope overlooking the river on the left. Take care if you are prone to vertigo, but these sections are very short.
(4) End of the steep climb: you can take a breather on a track through the oak forest until you reach the signpost for "Ferme du Laup".
(5) Take the path on the right and after 300 m, you will come to a track. Continue to the right; a small signpost with the triangle of No. 66 of this hike is located at the intersection of the path and the track.
(6) The path branches off to the right before the platform in front of the ruins of the Ferme du plus Haut Laup. Do not take the path to the right in front of the ruins, which leads into a meadow. After climbing for about 100 metres, you will reach a track. Follow it to the right.
(7) Turn left onto the track at the hairpin bend.
(8) At a left-hand bend in this track, be careful to take the steeply ascending path on the right. If you're not paying attention, it's easy to continue along the track. Continue to the Bramard ridge.
(9) The cliff is very high, so take extra care. Enjoy the scenery: the Angèle mountain, Miélandre, Cougoir, Lance and Buisse mountains. It's wonderful!
Continue along the path to begin the descent, which is as steep as the climb, through a beautiful oak forest. At a hairpin bend in the Blaches area, continue straight downhill. If you miss this junction, don't worry, as the two paths meet further down. You will come out onto a track.
(10) Keep to your right. The descent is steep but the track is wide. When you reach Bramard farm, at a small reservoir, leave the track on the right and continue straight ahead.
(11) Do not enter the farmyard but turn left. At the tarmac, continue along the small road, ignoring the entrances to olive groves and accesses to properties, and rejoin the route you have already taken.
(2) Continue to the left and retrace your steps to the stadium car park (S/E).
I suspect the presence of poison ivy (or poison oak) on this last section because 24/48 hours after the walk I had rashes and spots on both my legs... (I was wearing shorts). So be very careful.
