1 - Take a right. Reach a first viewpoint and go down to the waterfront. Continue on the historic trail between the Verdon and the canal for 1.5km.
2 - at the gateway of the intersection called {Draille des vaches}, continue straight. Take on this route the two metal stairs, walk along the canal wall (be careful!) before using its entrance and reaching the shelter of the canal's guardsman (interpretation panels).
3 - Go through a long tunnel of 120metres and exit the canal by a metal staircase. Walk at the bottom of the Sainte-Maxime valley for about 1km, then take a left to reach the plateau.
4 - Go left towards the Sainte-Maxime chapel.
5 - From the chapel, coming back using the same route.
4 - Go straight, continue the path under the oaks and reach an ancient oratory. Take the path to the right, pass a ruin and continue on the left until the crossroads "Draille des vaches".
6 - Follow on the right, for 1km, the path passing through the plateau Mallasoque (unwooded route to be avoid during days of high heat!). Note: the route on the left {la Draille des vaches} descends directly to the gateway at the crossroads of the same name, this route of 300 steps which allows you to reach the trail along the Verdon again. After the plateau, turn left by the track and follow the trail cutting it. Lower down, regain the main track and then the road.
7 - Go left along the canal to reach further along the main road. Follow it, cross the bridge and come back to the starting point of the route taken to go.
