La colline de Montchamp
From Place Emile Lerat, cross the Riaille and continue along Grande Rue for 400 m. At the end, fork right onto chemin de la Curatte. At the bend in the road to the left, head up the path through the vines, passing under the power line and entering the woods. At the fork, take the left-hand path. Continue straight ahead on the track for 150 m. Take the right-hand path up through the holm oak woods. It skirts the Montchamp hill and reaches an intersection at the foot of the south-facing slope.
Alternative route: to avoid the rough path, go straight down to the track and follow the circuit in the opposite direction.
Climb the shoulder of the hill on the slightly uneven path to the right, between perriers and garrigue. At the collet (283 m), take the road to the right. It leads to Notre-Dame-de-Montchamp (360° panorama). Take the road back down (view of the Way of the Cross). Continue along the road for 250 m to a chicane.
Downhill option (6 km circuit): take the road down to Malataverne.
Go down the left-hand path for 180 m, then down the right-hand path (north-west). Take the path on the left to reach the southern foothills of the hill. Follow the track to the right. At Ferme Mayol, take the right-hand path up to Les Buissières. Ignore the forks and keep heading northeast before descending. Follow the road straight ahead, cross the footbridge over the Riaille and turn right to find the parking lot.
