left up the steep hill...

Right at the roundabout - there's a cyclepath you can run on but caution is advised as the road is fairly busy

Great views here

Be careful its very steep!

Another short cut possibility - turn right along Chemin des Adrets.

The extended run turns left here along the canal. Obvious alternaives include turning right on the canal or going straight on

Turn right at the road and go down some more steep hill

Turn right by the post office and run past the Petanque court

Up the steps and over the railway on the footbridge

Now it's really steep up. Good for the final push ....

Left onto Chemin des Adrets

Striaght over the roundabout or add a little by going left.
