This route includes too many tracks and tarmac roads. To avoid the road at point 8, cross the Bouquet car park and take the yellow-marked path – which is lovely – to reach the Chemin du Trou, then rejoin the suggested route shortly after point 9.

A very beautiful hike with magnificent views of Sainte-Victoire. The route is easy to follow and not very busy; there are no particular difficulties.

Route partially covered due to rain. Information between points 1 to 4 needs to be more precise.

The directions for reaching the road from the starting point are difficult to follow.
It should also be mentioned that you have to walk more than a kilometre along the road.
After that, everything is fine. And the scenery is superb.

As described (except for the difference in altitude, see below). Nice walk.
Be careful though, checked with two different watches we are on 510 metres of positive ascent. Almost twice as much as in the description. But it goes very well and you don't end up tired, despite the small steep climb at the end.

just one correction at point 2: take the path on the left but do not go as far as the barrier (entrance to the private property) because at this point there is also a path on the left which leads above the cengle; as a result we walked a few extra kilometres before realising our mistake; and the walk was 19km instead of 15.
otherwise good description ;

An easy hike with a magnificent view of the Ste Victoire. Tip: not to be done in very hot weather as there is little shade on the route.

It's a lovely walk, with nature in full bloom in May and the Sainte Victoire still magnificent.

Nice walk, even if the section along the Cingle plateau is a little long and monotonous. You could park at the car park at the Pont de l'Anchois at the bottom of Saint Antonin, which would allow you to start on the climb rather than at the end.

The part on the road is tedious. According to other opinions, there is a path on the ridge, which would have been much better for me. At the end, after the bouquet, a local advised me to go to the car park at the Pont de l'Anchois and climb towards the refuge and then return along a path that runs alongside the road. It looked possible on the map, but I couldn't find it.

A beautiful walk at the foot of the Sainte Victoire, with few difficulties apart from its length!
