La Blachère by mountain bike - Heading south

Mount Blachère overlooks La Motte-du-Caire. After warming up on a small road at the bottom of the valley and climbing the mountain via a forest trail, you reach three marked mountain bike trails on each of the slopes. Here, head south on Trail No. 6, crossing along a beautiful path, before a descent through the woods down to La Gypière. The return trip follows a trail through the valley. Pass through the village of La Motte du Caire (700 m) toward Le Caire, then, after the health center, turn right onto the Chemin de Sainte-Anne (mountain bike trail marker #6). The small road descends to the river and crosses it via a footbridge. Turn right. Pass under the soccer field and the campground, and continue along the river. Opposite the glider airfield (on the other bank), leave the road and take the trail ascending to the left. Climb up the Naples forest trail. After a somewhat steep start, the trail levels off. During the ascent, pass two other trails on the right and one on the left, then follow a fairly smooth climb through the robinia trees to reach a pass. Leave the trail and Route No. 5 to take the path on the right toward “La Gypière.” After a balcony-like traverse through the eastern-facing undergrowth (with a few sloping sections), reach a new pass. Pass route no. 7 on your left, which heads toward Clamensane, and continue straight ahead. A beautiful, fun descent through the woods awaits you down to the Gypière valley. Pass in front of the old plaster kiln and reach the road. At La Gypière (655 m), follow the road to the right. At “Bas Plan,” take the path on the right that passes in front of the farm. Follow the trail and reach point 1 via the valley. Return to the starting point via the same route taken on the way there.

Le circuit des fermes

This loop trail takes you past a cluster of farms that primarily raise sheep. It’s an easy hike, but the length of the route should be taken into account. An excellent mid-season hike through wide-open landscapes. In Melve, take the street opposite the church that winds its way downhill between the houses. As you leave the village, continue on to reach the Sigoyer road and follow it to the right. In the hamlet of Les Baudes, leave the road and turn left behind the houses onto a trail that, after crossing a wooded ridge, runs alongside a brand-new solar power plant, which is still under construction as of today. After a small pass near the Plaines farm, the path enters a pine forest. 800 m further on, it crosses fields (watch out for sheep) and continues along a small paved road. Leave it to the right via a trail near a power line. Descend to the footbridge spanning the Syrièz ravine and climb back up the other side to the road. A small stone cairn marks the start of this trail. Take the paved road to the right and pass in front of the Masses farm, where the road turns into a dirt track to cross the Syrièz again. A long climb follows to reach the road from Melve to Sigoyer. Follow it 150 m to the right and take a dirt track, then a trail that cuts across a bend in the road to reach Sigoyer. In Sigoyer, below the school, head up to the church square. An orientation table offers a panoramic view of Mount Lure, Mont Ventoux, and the Baronnies Provençales. An interactive kiosk tells the story of the castle. Take the stairs below the orientation table to reach a trail on the right that leads beneath the castle to the Corpatasse ridge. At Corpatasse (760 m), continue along the trail, leaving the path descending toward Les Sagnières on your right. After 200 m, the trail ends and turns into a footpath as it enters the pine forest. Once in Chantemerle, ignore the trail descending toward Thèze and Le Mouson and take the path to the right, which turns into a trail just below the old Mitouret farm. Head back up the paved road, passing in front of the Fouquetis farm, and leave it at the next bend. A trail crosses a small ravine and leads to a water intake. Continue along the track, turning left twice. Pass in front of the Verdillon farm and, still following the track, reach the Cabusse and Prédannau farms. Leave the paved road on your right and, staying on the trail, arrive at the Forest farm. Across from it, take a trail that is barely marked at first and leads into the woods until it reaches a draye (an ancient path used by sheep herds); follow it up to the ridge and continue left toward the Tât farm. Pass by a water reservoir and you’ll quickly reach the hamlet of Les Baudes, where the trail rejoins the starting point of the hike.

Les Croix par la tour

A lovely loop offering beautiful views of the western part of the Provence Highlands. The trail runs mainly along ridges and is relatively shaded.The church in Melve, the tower with its sighting tube, and a Geopark information panel add a cultural dimension to the hike. From Melve (839 m), take the uphill street that runs behind the church and alongside the cemetery. After the last house, the paved road turns into a dirt track as it follows a ridge. Leave the track to the left just past a water intake to follow a trail. Once on the plateau, follow the southern edge to the left, toward the Tower and its sighting tube. Continue north across the pastures to reach a ridge. A dizzying section through the marl requires some caution. The rest of the route follows the southern slope of the mountain, crossing three marl sections that can be tricky. On the ridge, take the trail to the left up to the summit. At the place called Les Croix (1,412 m), continue along the trail to the west. It follows the ridge all the way. Below Tête de Boursier (1,235 m), a short round trip (10 min) offers a beautiful view. Alternatively, take the descending trail, starting through an oak grove, then through steep pastures. A slightly steeper section through marl, followed by more shaded areas, will lead to the paved road (D 104). At Chemin de la Plane (855 m), follow the paved road toward Melve. At the hamlet of Le Serre, take the trail (a sunken path at the start) that climbs to the left. After a short walk, you’ll reach the Plateau de la Tour de Melve, leading to Point 2. Take the same path back down in the opposite direction.
