  • A visit to the picturesque village of Le Poil, clinging to the slopes of the rocky outcrop from which it derives its name "lou péu", "stake" in Provencal.

  • From the Les Blaches parking lot, turn left onto a steep slope that cuts through the yaw and walk about 700m to reach a well-maintained track on the left (parking for two cars possible). Sign "Saule Mort, Majastres le Poil". Follow the good track steeply upwards and, after a few hairpin bends, past the Gîte de Saule Mort, which can be seen on the right on a promontory, stay on the main track and continue to a junction and a bridge over the gorge. Leave the track on the right that leads to...
    From the Les Blaches parking lot, turn left onto a steep slope that cuts through the yaw and walk about 700m to reach a well-maintained track on the left (parking for two cars possible). Sign "Saule Mort, Majastres le Poil". Follow the good track steeply upwards and, after a few hairpin bends, past the Gîte de Saule Mort, which can be seen on the right on a promontory, stay on the main track and continue to a junction and a bridge over the gorge. Leave the track on the right that leads to Majastres and take the left-hand track that follows the Ravin du Village to the abandoned village known as "le Poil".
    To return, climb up to the ruined church currently being "renovated", then take the mule track in fairly good condition down behind the village to rejoin the track. Take the track downhill and stay on it, leaving all the paths and drailles to your left and right.
    After a long descent and several hairpin bends, leave a beautiful inhabited building on the right. Continuing downhill, the track again runs alongside the Clovion, but this time on its right bank. Cross the river on a cement embankment and continue to follow the track, which climbs steeply, leaving all tracks to the right, until it crosses the D17 road. Opposite, take a track which first descends and then climbs steeply, in very poor condition, with deep ruts and gullies. Return to the Les Blâches parking lot.
