    Depart from Place St Martin, follow the road that borders the river towards Place de Nice (central square of the village). In a corner of the square, find a fountain and a street that goes into the village, take the street and continue on the left rue Lanteri. Follow it, pass under the porch on the right then turn left onto rue du Colonel Dullin. Follow the climb after the garages on the right. Pass the school and the cemetery by following the start of the trail at beacon 48, just next to a chapel. Follow the path through the woods, pass beacons 258 and 259. At the latter, carefully cross the track and continue on the path opposite, towards beacon 260 which passes under the summit of Pinet. Pass the beacon and the Linaire pass appears, large flat at the crossroads. Follow the flat track on the left, it is a forest track. Reach beacon 262.
