BEFORE SETTING OFF :

- Check the weather forecast before you set off, as itineraries can become dangerous in bad weather.

- Find out about the condition of the route before you leave: Buis-les-Baronnies Tourist Office (tel: 04 75 28 04 59)

- Take water, food, a small first-aid kit (double skin, strap and paracetamol), a survival blanket, a windbreaker, a whistle and use brightly-colored, reflective clothing for your safety.

- Whenever possible, don't travel alone: tell someone close to you about your itinerary and planned times, and recharge your phone battery to 100%.

- Be aware of the hunting season (generally from 01/09 to 28/02) and, if possible, inform yourself of the dates and locations of hunting drives.

- For nocturnal outings: avoid routes through grazing areas, and use headlamps suitable for outdoor use.


ON THE ROUTE :

- Respect natural and agricultural environments (no picking, etc.).

- Respect other users of the area (hunters, runners, shepherds, foresters).

- Remember that in the mountains, you are always in the home of someone who accepts you: respecting private property is a guarantee of permanent authorization for passage.

- Close gates after you've passed through, and don't cross fences.

- Stay on marked trails, don't cut laces

- All sections of the trail on public roads are subject to the Highway Code, so please respect it.
