Return to the car park located 2 km south of Lacoste at the intersection of the D3 and D106.
(S/E) Go to the end of the car park to find the La Valmasque sign. Take the path that climbs opposite, towards La Forêt des Cèdres and Pré de Roustan.
The yellow-marked path climbs uphill, offering beautiful views of Lacoste and Bonnieux, as well as the Monts de Vaucluse.
When the cedars become more prominent, the path comes to a crossroads. Take the wide path opposite that enters the cedar forest. 200m after this crossroads, leave the green signpost that branches off to the right (not visible on the map) and continue straight ahead until you reach the tarmac road at the Pré de Roustan sign.
(1) Turn right onto the asphalt road towards Falabrègue to reach the buried cistern no. 41, which is not very visible.
(2) Leave the road and take the path opposite. There will be no signposts on this path, except for the occasional remains of blue markings.
Continue along this beautiful, well-marked path and ignore any other paths until you reach a cairn. Turn right onto the path that heads towards the rocky outcrop and follow it for a while. After passing the remains of shepherds' shelters, the trail continues to the right and then climbs back up to the tarmac road.
(3) Turn right onto the tarmac road and follow the yellow markings. After a good kilometre, you will arrive at the Falabrègue sign.
(4) Turn left into the forest towards Les Cassandrons. 400m further on, the path joins a large stony track. Take this to the left for about ten metres, then the signposts will lead off to the right onto a path.
700 metres further down, the signpost turns sharply left to descend into the Vallon de Cavède.
After 2 km of descent into the valley, the signposts join a good path and the Les Cassandrons sign.
(5) Turn right onto the path that joins the La Valmasque crossroads and the car park (S/E).
