Yellow markings
(S/E) Leave the picnic area behind you on your right and head towards the main street. Turn left, then right 100 metres further on, onto a dirt track that curves to the left after the farm. A few dozen metres after the curve, and before the next farm, turn onto the grassy path on the right. At the next crossroads, turn left to reach the road.

(2) Start of the first variant: climb the path on the right that heads north. At the first crossroads, take the hairpin bend to the left to return south. At the road, viewpoint and grassy area on the left, continue straight ahead towards the hamlet of Costes Auriès, passing in front of the tool shed.
