2-    Do not take the tarmacked road, but cycle onto the path that follows the contour line and runs to the farm of the Mas de Gély. Go around the farm to the right.

3-     You will see a cross at the top of a law dry stone wall; carry on along this route towards the hamlet of la Batisse.

4-    Go around the side of the sheepfold and head westward, then cycle up the 1.5 km path which leads to the top of the hill, rising to 730 m.

5-    When you arrive at the pass, cycle onto the track which is between the lines of box trees (called a bouissière) that runs towards Vareilles.

6-     At the base of two high fir trees, ride up the gentle slope to the right.

7-    Take the left turn, and 100 m further follow on the path that runs down to Saint-Félix going through the hamlet of Saint-Caprazy on the way. This hamlet is a former Commandery and the origin of the existing village.
