Park next to the Mairie on the D177 and walk in the direction of Berlou on the road. After a short time you will see a small track on your left which bears to the right before turning left once again in a very short space of time.
This track is a board one in pine trees but offers little shade on a hot day. You will start to see views of the Caroux quite soon and then there is a turn to the left. This is where we decided to do the walk in the opposite direction by walking towards Marignes. Here the path turns left sharply uphill on a small track. It soon becomes quite difficult as it turns to meet a larger track.
At this point you can shorten the walk by turning left or continue with the main route by turning right. The track continues uphill passing another track to your left and finally reaching a broad junction where you turn left and on up to the top of the hill past several hunters towers. Now you will see a sign post.
If you wish to go on to visit the ruins of the little chapel as I did, it's only another 170m further uphill. The chapel ruins are very small and have been rebuilt to show the former area it covered. Now back to the signpost and on down on the top path (which would have been a left turn if you didn't visit the chapel).
You will pass the two tracks that join from your left and keep on this track until you reach the point where you began the circuit in the pine forest. The track turn right and retraces your route to Les Boriettes at the road junction.
Now turn right on the road to reach the car park. Good view, especially on the second path of the route but probably not a good one for a very hot day! Enjoy.
