Directions
Starting in the town of Pégomas, cross the Siagne Canal on the D109 road and soon after on the right, take the small road towards Tanneron (the D309). After a 3km climb, you will reach the edge of the Var department. Here turn right (DFCI track) to go down a small road to the hamlet of Sausserons. At the first of the houses, turn right down a steep tarmac path. The track narrows and becomes rougher with more of a stone surface. Here you will descend among the fields of mimosas; it is recommended not to deviate from the route to avoid any conflict with local producers.
At the hamlet Cabrol, you reach a small road that follows the right bank of the Siagne Canal. Bringing you back to the bridge over the Siagne, opposite the village of Pégomas.
