Go back the way you came. At the fountain, turn into rue Grande and continue straight. At the house n°27, go downstairs on the left. Then take left in the first sharp bend on La Calade. At the bottom of the crossroads, turn right and walk down to the next crossroads. Continue straight ahead on chemin du Clos de la Colle. Then turn left onto chemin des Bernardins, then right onto chemin des Tuiliers. Take a downhill path overlooking the valley. When you come to a private property, take the path down to the right, following the markings on the road. At the bottom of the valley, at the crossroads, turn right along the track for around 200 m.
