Hamlets of Verdaches

Hiking parking lot (1,140 m) - Return to Verdaches. In front of the church, turn right, pass in front of the town hall then go up an alley on the left. Join a road, follow it uphill on the right. At the agricultural shed, follow the path to the left then left again at the fork. The path crosses a pass then descends to a crossroads.
Flagustelle (1,170 m) - Continue straight ahead and go left a little further. The track ends in a meadow, go along it on the left and find a track. Follow it for 20 m then turn left again onto a path along the stream. Do not enter the meadow but go along it then the stream and climb a trail on the right. It quickly turns into a path that climbs into the forest and opens onto a pass. Turn right and continue climbing into the woods. Reach a meadow then the hamlet of La Sambue.
La Sambue (1,356 m) - Continue straight ahead to the fountain (non-drinking water). The path descends through pastures (close the fences securely) and passes close to a spring. Go down to the right into the valley and then into the forest. Join a stream and follow it downhill via a series of paths and tracks to the tarmac road. Continue straight ahead then turn left and enter the hamlet of "La Route".
