    Go towards the fountain. 1Turn right. Walk past the Saint-Pancrace collegiate church, go up avenue Gabriel Péri and then rue du Marché. Pass at the foot of the Clock Tower, continue along rue des Aires and exit the ramparts through the gate of les Aires. Cross the road at the crosswalk on the left, then turn right and take allée Jean Moulin between the middle school and the elementary school. Turn right onto chemin de la Trinité. Be careful going uphill - you'll need to keep your breath! At the first bend, follow the ‘’Sentier des grottes’’ sign and leave the road. Continue along the path. Pass under the Trinity chapel and continue to the first caves in Aups. Follow until you reach the Sainte-Madeleine chapel, nestled in the cave. Then take the path on the left under the holm oaks. Turn right at the crossroads. Follow the low stone wall - Be careful, this section is slippery! Continue until you reach the road. Follow the road down past the oil mill and join the D77 road between Aups and Tourtour. Go back to the village by turning right onto allée Charles Boyer.
