Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

1/ From the start sign at Place Dourif, take the street behind the war memorial, continue along the lane under the château and down the stairs to the left. Cross the bridge over the Monne and take the right-hand path for about 400 m to a crossroads.

2/ Turn left (view of Saint-Amant-Tallende and La Serre mountain). Turn right at the fork. At the next crossroads, take the right-hand track and continue along the path. At the fork, keep right and descend to Saint-Sandoux (view of the puy de Saint Sandoux) as far as the roundabout at the entrance to the village.

3/ Turn right onto chemin du Grand Pré. At the large crossroads, take the dirt track to the right. At the fork in the road, turn right (view of the Benedictine abbey of Randol and the Monne valley). At the intersection with the Puy de Peyronère access road, turn left downhill to the next crossroads.

4/ Go right up the steep track for 200 m, then turn left onto the grassy path (view of Randol abbey and Saint-Saturnin castle).

At the crossroads, turn right along the rocks and castle to the fountain at Place de l'Ormeau.
