Get your calves ready. 800 m after this arrow post, turn right and enjoy this steep path, with numerous obstacles (streams and rocks). Remember to follow the signs. Continue along this path for 2 km before reaching the "CENDRUA n°268" signpost. Follow the signs for "Montmeyan Village" and you're off for almost 2 km of downhill on a stony track with panoramic views over the lake of Montmeyan and the surrounding hills. At the end of the descent, you pass the lake and come to the signpost "L'ESCOURCHE n°269". Turn left and continue on the D 13 for 700 m. Keep to the right for safe driving. At the "COCNILLET n°270" signpost, continue towards "Montmeyan Village" and enjoy this 7 km trail of varied landscapes and surfaces. Watch out for the false flat, as your thighs may sting a little. Take heart, there's still 1 km to go to the finish.
