Description

Intermediate circuit which culminates at the Les Chardons Bleus nature reserve



The circuit starts right in the centre of town, not far from the bridge spanning the Durance. Head due south towards the train station.

After passing the train station on your right and going under the railway bridge, follow the D423 towards the Fournel mines ("Mines du Fournel")
At the mine car park, carry on along the narrow road leading into the little valleyn
At a bridge, the Pont des Albrands, carry on along the forest track on the left-hand bank of the river
When you come to the terminal point of the forest track, turn back on yourself and go back along the path
Head right to cross the Fournel and reach Boujurian. Head towards the Pont d'Albrands and the Pont du Sapey
At the Pont du Sapey, stay on the right-hand bank of the Fournel and start the descent to the district of Plan Léothaud
At Plan Léothaud, go under the railway line. This brings you to the leisure centre and on to the end of the trail via the green route ("Voie Verte")
