A valley, the Roya, a village, La Brigue and a chapel, Notre Dame des Fontaines la Sixtine des Alpes, for this walk which will take you as close as possible to the mysterious springs of this place.

Before leaving the village heading east, check with the tourist office that visiting Notre-Dame-des-Fontaines is possible on the day of your hike. Contact (+33) 04 83 93 95 50

Pass a large pink building and the fire station on the Chemin de St Jean. At the level of the tennis court, start of the path just behind, indicated by a yellow marking which and rises gently always in the direction of the East.

The path continues on a level curve then takes a footbridge and joins an old lime kiln. Two hundred meters after this, the path straightens up to gain 70 m in altitude and then goes up the Madone valley.

A descent allows you to reach a footbridge which allows you to get back on the road. Very close to the right is Notre-Dame-des Fontaines. If the visit is possible, we strongly recommend it. Return by the same route or by road to appreciate the Pont du Coq and the oratories along the road.
