Turn right and walk along the road a short distance to cross the road where you see a large cross opposite. Take the marked path up to Bardejean through the woods, crossing tracks a couple of times. In the hamlet turn first right and bear right.
The yellow route continues on a wide track but there are few on this route and it is about 1km longer this way. When you get to the GR go up to the chapel. Today though we decided to be a little more adventurous and took the little footpath on your left just beside a cross on a wall, don't take any notice of the yellow X on the post.
The little path go up to cross a track at cairn turn left and continue on up to the minute chapel of Sainte Anne. The tiny chapelle of Sainte Anne is to your left and the sanctuary of Notre-Dame-De-Capimont is to the right.
Amazing views ofs Lamalou-les-Bains on the way up and of the Orb valley and Herepian to the south. This is a lovely spot for a picnic (there is a car park here too).
After visiting the chapel head down the drive to turn right onto the GR on your right. Go down the GR, keeping left and then turn left again towards Herepian.
The path passes some fenced gardens before turning right onto a small concrete track. At the top of the hill just before the entrance to a drive turn left onto another grassy track and then right onto a stony one, this is the GR once again.
Go up the wide stony track alongside a fence before turning left onto a small path. Finally the path joins a wide track, here you will turn left and follow the track until it branches right.
Just after a bend you can take the small unmarked path on your left or continue a very short distance to find where the yellow path left left to take the path back through the woods to the cross on the steeps at the road.
This is an easy route with lovely views, it's usually very dry underfoot and can be enjoyed whatever the season.
It is also possible to make a short walk either taking in the first and last part of the walk or doing a short walk from the car park at the chapel.
