The top of the St Jeannet Baou (805m) is about a 60-minute hike from the house. You can walk out of the house at the green gate and take the little path to the side, up to the road above the house. Then turn left and follow the road until it splits, then stay to the right heading up the steep road. It’s steep for about 150m – but it is really steep and will get your motor running.
The road will turn into a dirt path and then you just follow that all the way around toward the village until you come to the main trail which is marked and also has a car barrier. You can take the other part of this trail on your way down and go into the village.
From this point, head up to the Baou. It’s a good path, but there is a a bit of scrambling when you get to the top. Once on the top, head toward the helicopter pad and the orientation point at the edge of the cliffs.
There is nothing but nature up there, so pack water, snacks – even a picnic is great.
