Start from the car park next to the cemetery.
(S/E) Take the steps at the far end of the car park, join the Allée du Château and turn right.
(1) At the Info Rando map, turn left onto the Chemin de la Gleyzette towards the Chapelle Saint-Cerice. About 150 metres further on, at the ‘Vogüé’ sign, take the hairpin bend to the left, following the signs for Lavilledieu.
(2) At the top of the climb, leave the white-and-yellow markings, which continue to the right, and take the path on the left – but not the track branching off at a 90° angle to the left. Then pass a path branching off to the left behind you, followed by two others on the right. The path continues northwards along the hillside, offering a beautiful view of the Ardèche.
(3) At the highest point of Serre Bastel, pass two paths on the left in succession. The path then gradually turns southwards.
(4) At the first junction, take the path on the right and climb the hill on the left bank of the Fontenouille stream.
(5) At the top of the hill, carry on straight ahead and head down the other side. You’ll come to a junction.
(6) Carry on straight ahead along a wider path. About a hundred metres further on, you’ll join the white-and-yellow-marked path coming from the right. Carry on straight ahead.
(7) At the signpost, carry on straight ahead again. The Baume du Bois karstic cave is a little further on, on the right-hand side of the path.
(8) About a hundred metres past the karstic cave, leave the marked trail and take the first path on the right.
(9) When the path opens out onto a large meadow, carry on straight ahead along a grassy track that runs alongside the meadow to the south-east. About a hundred metres further on, turn left onto a wide track. Pass by an old quarry. Carry on, turning right twice, to reach the hamlet of Les Chazes.
(10) From Les Chazes, two white-and-yellow signposted routes lead to Vogüé: choose the second one, the Sentier des Gras, which heads due west (do not take the first one, the Chemin du Curé Chaze, which heads north-west). At the junction about 500 metres further on, continue to the left, then turn right at the next Fork in the road. Follow the signposting which leads straight on to the Chemin de Saint-Cerice and follow this straight on (west).
(11) On reaching the Fontenouille stream, the signposted path turns left and passes a white gate. Leave the signposted path, go straight on over the small bridge and enter the old quarry, following the information boards. When you reach the ridge (beautiful view of Vogüé), follow a signposted path back to the Saint-Cerice Chapel (La Gleyzette). Then turn right and walk down the Chemin de la Gleyzette to the Allée du Château.
(1) Turn right to reach the car park (S/E).
