Parking is available on the D570 at the foot of the village of Saint-May.
(S/E) Take the small road that climbs up to the village.
(1) At the hairpin bend, continue straight on towards Bodon Abbey. The road then climbs steadily.
(2) After passing the chapel and the remains of Bodon Abbey, just after a house, take the track that starts on the left and climbs towards a group of houses (farm and lodge), which you must pass to continue climbing to the Col de Saint-May.
(3) At the pass, a path marked with orange dots allows you to change sides (a few metres to the left of the path marked "Rémuzat - Léoux"). This path starts on the mountainside before beginning a relatively steep descent.
(4) Pay attention so you don't miss the point where you need to turn left onto theGR® de Pays "Tour des Baronnies" trail. The junction is discreet and the markings are not very visible in this direction. Follow thisGRP® trail, which climbs up to the Col de Pensier pass and then descends to the first houses of the hamlet of Les Bœufs.
(5) Join the D570 just before the bridge over the Ruisseau de Léoux, but do not take the road. Instead, turn left onto a beautiful track that offers stunning views of the gorges.
(6) Pass the Botte farm and soon the track turns into a path that descends fairly quickly to the Saint-May road.
(1) Follow this road to the right, which will take you back to the starting point (S/E). At the first bend above the village, there is a path that allows you to visit the village.
Magnificent hikes with spectacular views in a protected, wild natural setting. The added bonus: the vultures...
