3. From Aspres-les-Corps to Les Barangeards

From La Grange de Brudour, return to Aspres-les-Cops, head downhill towards the N85 and turn left after the GAEC des Goudmarrous towards Les Riolles. The route continues along a flat track bordered by fields with a splendid view over the Faraut mountain, on the Pic Perroux side. As you enter the wood, at the Y-shaped fork, follow the path downhill on the right. Cross the Brudour mountain stream over an old engineering structure, the railway bridge ("Pont de la Voie Ferrée"). The bridge has walkway extensions. As you leave the bridge, take the uphill forest track on the left, still in woods. From here, PR waysigns (“Peite Randonnée - short-distance trails). At Cadeton, keep to the main path, ignoring the mountain biking (“VTT”) shortcut. The track flattens out and widens, offering a magnificent view over the Petit Chaillol mountain. Still following the PR waysigns, continue straight through the hamlet of La Broue. Head towards Sous La Roche along a gentle, flat and grassy track. As you approach Sous La Roche, note the sulphurous spring.

1. As soon as you enter the village, take the Château discovery path ("Sentier de Découverte") which rises uphill to the left of the red house and has a few narrow stretches. The path emerges onto a wide track looking onto the Petit Chaillol mountain. Turn left. At the road, you can turn right for a (there-and-back) detour to admire the view from the Château de St-Firmin. Continue along the La Broue road.
2. At Le Serre, take a narrow wooded uphill path on the left, still signposted towards the "Sentier de Découverte du Château". The path leads to La Villette, overlooked by the peaks of La Côte and Le Brasque. In Saint-Firmin, head downhill towards the bell tower and continue straight up as far as the cross (fire hydrant, dustbin, wash-house).
3. Here, head uphill on the left, pass the 1801 fountain, cross the D58 and, when you reach La Grange, head towards Le Villard along the grassy track on the right after the last house. At Le Ponteil, the tracks intersect: carry on straight ahead over level terrain. Cross the ford and the reservoir, continuing straight on. After the second ford crossing, follow the wall uphill until you reach Les Serres. At Les Serres, the GR50 joins the PR. Head downhill towards Le Villard following the GR50. Go straight through the hamlet of Le Villard and pass the chapel of Notre-Dame, still following the GR50 waysigns towards Moussuq. At Les Gardettes, stay on the GR50 heading towards Le Séchier along a fine gravel path that runs downhill into the forest.
4. When it emerges on the D985 Route de La Chapelle, follow its right-hand side and then cross the road and cross the canal, following the GR50 along a narrow path edged by tall vegetation which runs through the meadows below Les Champs de Roussi and which comes out at the Pont du Séchier. Cross the Séveraisse and continue along the road until you reach a wooden sign pointing along a grassy track leading to St Jacques-en- Valgodemar. Before heading up this track, take a moment to admire the view over the Peak des Souffles and the Pic Turbat!
5.  At the École Du Séchier, continue to follow the GR50/GRP (regional long-distance trail) to the left, towards Lachaup. At the signpost for "Séchier Village", follow the sign for the Canal des Herbeys which takes you on a road on the right leading uphill (GR50/GRP). As you leave the hamlet of Le Séchier, stay on the forest track (mountain biking route, “VTT”) along the canal-side (some narrow and rocky stretches). At Lachaup, stay on the track heading for Les Barangeards. At the ford crossing (not difficult) avoid the footbridge and then go down the track leading to the D16 in Cloragne.
