Follow the signs to "Pierrefeu". It is not advisable to take the Ravin de Notre-Dame to reach the village, as there are regular rockfalls, and the path can only be used "at the hiker's own risk". Return to Moustiers via the Courchon path, which offers a great panoramic view of the lake Sainte-Croix.
