From the parking area, take the start of the trail from Mamelle de Petit-Bourg, which is the same as the Alizés trail (G.R. section). Turn left at the intersection. Keep going on the same path, taking advantage of the many openings onto some spectacular landscape. Early in the morning you can even hear the sounds of frogs and cicadas singing. At the top of Mamelle de Petit-Bourg, soak up the atmosphere of the high forest. Then turn around and take the same path to head back down. At the intersection near the end of the trail, take a right to return to the parking area.

Pay attention to cars on Route RD23, as it is a major road.
There are no litter bins on the route, so please be considerate and take your rubbish with you.
