Park at the Sables Blancs car park.
(S/E) As you leave the car park, turn left onto the tarmac road.
(1) Cross the bridge and head towards the ‘Pont de Pézillet’ signpost; turn left towards the Auberge des Dauphins and, at the next signpost (about 100 metres further on), continue in this direction. The walk continues along a straight, narrow path, running alongside the Vèbre, which should remain on your left. After about 800m, the path veers away from the river to the right and enters the woodland.
(2) At the ‘Ancienne Route Touristique Maurice Burrus’ signpost, head down to the left until you reach the concrete bridge.
(3) Cross the bridge and head towards the Écogardes office.
(4) From there, turn right to reach the Chemin de la Grande Combe, then head left uphill towards the Chemin Muletier. Please note: the path is steep! Quite steep at the start, it gradually levels out, winding along the flank of the perched syncline, alternating between damp earth and stony sections.
(5) Join the Chemin Muletier, then turn left towards Les Chênes along the wide, descending path – a former tourist route created in the 1930s. Along this gentle descent, you’ll have plenty of time to take in the scenery, particularly the vertical cliffs of Le Pertuis to the west.
(6) Pass the ‘Les Chênes Est’ signpost and continue on to Les Chênes. From there, turn left, taking the stone steps down a shaded path.
(7) Walk past the ruins of the Pézillet farm, not far from the kaolin deposit. This17th-century farm consists of several buildings. Please do not enter the site due to the risk of falling rocks.
(8) At the meadow, head towards the La Prade signpost and then on to Les Sables Blancs. You will then come to the car park on your left (S/E).
