Following advice from a hiker and a request from a landowner, the original route had to be changed. I was unable to check the section between points (3) and (7).
Park at the recycling bins on the right-hand side of the D1 road, below the village, just before a left-hand bend.
(S/E) Take the macadam road running alongside the building located there.
(1) At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead, ignoring all the paths on the left and right. The tarmac gives way to gravel and further on to a path which you follow.
(2) You will cross private land via a path provided by the owner to cross a river. When there is water, it can be a bit tricky! Once back on the road, continue straight ahead until the next left turn.
(3) Follow this path until you reach Chemin du Fesc. Continue left until you reach Route Vielle de Vallon.
(4) Turn right and follow it until you reach houses on both sides of the road. Ignore all the paths on the right until you reach Chemin des Terriers, a road sloping diagonally to the right.
(5) Take this road to the end. Continue along the path that extends from it. At the first fork, take the path that branches off between the two branches. Do the same at the next fork. The path follows the ridge line uphill.
(6) In the middle of a long bend on the left, take the road diagonally to the right. This road passes slightly below the summit of Sigaud.
(7) Continue straight ahead, ignoring all side paths. At a fork, take the right-hand branch. This is the ridge line.
(8) At altitude 316 (no sign), a shortcut on the right takes you back down into the valley near the car park.
Otherwise, continue along the ridge until you reach a macadam road. Be careful, the last 200 metres are very steep and slippery on the gravel!
(9) Three trails appear on the right. Take the middle one, which looks like a riverbed in places. Descend it carefully until you reach a road.
(10) Turn right onto the dirt and gravel path. Follow it straight ahead until it turns at a right angle to the left and joins the intersection at the very beginning of the hike.
(1) Turn left and return to the car park (S/E).
