To get to the Bieus car park: cross the Cebers bridge (from the N134) and take the small road that climbs (right bank of the river) towards the start of the Chemin de la Mâture. Continue along this road to the end. After the hamlet of Manot, the road is unpaved but remains in very good condition. Towards the end, there are two hairpin bends (easy).
(S/E) The path starts off a little steep from the car park. Don't worry, it's not for long! This steepness is necessary to get over a escarpment. Then, the path crosses, almost horizontally, to the Col d'Arras, and joins the direct path that connects the hamlet of Boileau (above the Cebers bridge) to the Col d'Arras.
(1) Cross a fairly wide bog, passing to the side, and continue towards the pass.
(2) The path we are interested in branches off from the main path just after the bog and just before the Col d'Arras. You must immediately cross a fence on your left (close it properly after you have passed through). After that, the path climbs a little at the edge of the pastures, following a line of very old beech trees that provide good shade.
(2) Next, cross level ground in the undergrowth, passing two small ravines with a little water flowing in them.
(3) Shortly after the second ravine, the path suddenly starts to climb north-eastwards. This is normal: it is the final slope before you reach the pastures around the Cabane de Licoué.
(4) Return via the same route.
(1) Turn right to return to the Bieus car park (S/E).
