(S/E) From the Chemin du Ruissatel car park, turn left onto the tarmac road to Font de Mai, following a replica of Raimu's Well.
(1) At this crossroads, continue straight ahead. The tarmac section becomes a carriageway shortly afterwards.
(2) At the signpost, turn left onto the path leading downhill to the ruins of the Ferme d'Angèle.
(3) Make a U-turn and return to the fork in the road you passed earlier.
(2) Bend left, follow the carriage road and pass under the power lines.
(4) At the Col d'Aubignane marker, continue straight on until you reach the loop junction.
(5) Turn right onto this path lined with fragrant Provençal vegetation. On the left are the valleys of the film "La gloire de mon père".
(6) Continue straight ahead at this track junction.
(7) At the signpost, turn right towards the Grotte de Manon des Sources, which is already visible.
(8) At the grotto, take a break in front of the colourful valley. On leaving the cave, turn right onto the downhill path that follows the Vallon des Piches.
(9) At the Pas heath, turn right and follow the steep path, with a few stone steps, up to the Col de Garladan.
(10) The Col de Garlaban is a flat wooded area. Turn slightly right onto the track, then immediately left through the pines towards the Garlaban, which overlooks the pass. There are several footpaths leading to the foot of this rocky massif.
(11) The summit of the Garlaban, visible from Marseille, offers a 360° view. Make a U-turn and return to the junction you passed earlier.
(10) Follow the slightly uphill track.
(12) Leave the track and follow the path down through the vegetation.
(13) Turn left at this path junction.
(14) Turn left at this crossroads, then bear left again.
(15) Turn left onto a wide, stony track.
(16) Turn left at the Pas du Loup crossroads.
(17) Turn left onto this barely visible path. About fifty metres on, a 1 m high iron bar planted in a cairn will help you find your way. Follow the path, using Visorando if necessary.
(18) At the wide track, turn left.
(19) Turn right into a small stony valley. After about fifty metres, a large cairn leads to a beautiful path, first rising for a few metres, then descending for a long way to the bottom of the Vallon de Passe-Temps.
(20) At the bottom of the valley, turn right. After about fifty metres, in a beautiful clearing, turn left and then left again. This is the last effort of the day, as it is a steep climb, before finally reaching the crossroads of the loop you passed on the outward journey.
(5) Go straight on and retrace the route you took on the outward journey, without passing through the Ferme d'Angèle, to reach the car park (S/E).
