At the intersection “Plantades”, turn on the left, reach the ditch of La Rourette (pole) and take a right on the path leading to the D102A. Cross the road and continue across until the village of Murs.1- Go through the village towards Venasque (D4), continue straight at the first intersection and turn left on a small road. Below, at the crossroads “Les vallons”, continue straight. Take the rise then turn right onto the old path to the Col de Murs.2- At the Col de Murs, go left, continue on the main track for 3.5 km and reach the D244. Cross the road and turn right lower down on a trail. Lead back to the D244 and the Col 100 m downstream.3- At the col des Trois Termes (pole), turn left on the D177, then 50 m further down, go down the path to the left until the creek of Puy Neuf. There, climb the other side and after a steep slope, cross the area of the Dalle des Busans. At the exit of a road, turn right, then 200 m further, turn left on a path along an old meadow. Go straight, turn slightly on the left and then switch until you reach a wider path. Cross a short passage between two walls (can be avoided by taking a right turn) and go straight on the paved road to the D15.4- At the intersection “Fontanille”, leave the marked horse routes and go up the road to the left for 750 m. Go down a gravel path and reach the heights of the gorges of Véroncle (lectern). Continue straight on the path (PR) that descends to the hamlet of Grailles.
