Park at the Combettes car park, just below the D902.
(Out/Return) Facing the houses overlooking the car park, head up to the right onto the square and turn right onto Rue du Fort, after the Caisse d’Épargne. Follow this road for about 150 metres until you reach a signpost.
(1) Turn left onto the Grande Rue, walk past the Place des Capucins with its house with blue shutters, and continue straight on to the junction with Rue de la Couronne (another signpost).
(2) Turn right until you reach the ford, which you cross. The route is signposted with small yellow ‘Forêt des sens’ signs. Walk uphill to a gate on your left: the signs and the ‘white-and-yellow’ markings direct you to head left.
Head straight up and continue straight ahead at the first junction.
(3) Carry on straight ahead to the top of the hill. There’s a lovely view of the village towards the end of the climb.
(4) You are now at the arboretum and the start of the “Sentier des sens”, which is very well signposted and indicates the route to take (yellow arrows on a black background).
Extract from the leaflet:
....“Using your five senses, and with the help of six information panels, a xylophone!... and a landscape table, you will discover the natural, historical, cultural and landscape heritage of Devois Hill and its wider surroundings.”...
Follow this path. After the xylophone display, take a quick detour to the right to visit the orientation table, then continue until you cross the path you took on the way up.
(3) Continue straight ahead, following the track—partly lined with pleasant trees—which curves widely to the left around Devois Hill, leading to a tarmac track just below a car park.
(5) Turn left and walk down the tarmac track to the Saint-Andéol-de-Berg road (D259).
(6) At the signpost, turn left, walk past the forester’s lodge, then take the path on the right (marked white and yellow) which leads back down to the River Ibie. Cross the ford and head straight up towards the town centre via Rue de l’Ibie, then along Basse Rue Roger Vallos, continuing on the same route
(2) Continue straight on. Immediately after Place des Capucins, take a vaulted passageway on the right (Rue Émile Froment) to reach Place Émile Froment.
(7) Cross the square diagonally and take Rue Saint-Jean opposite, which leads to the side of the church bell tower.
Turn left, cross the square and then Rue du Fort to take the road opposite and reach the car park (S/E).
