La Tête de Cade

Trail marking color: pink
Head down toward the house. Just before the large cypress tree, take the trail on your right heading east, marked in pink. Cross the meadows below the house and continue along the trail.
At the white bastide (ruin), follow the trail to the left as it climbs toward the Vallon de l’Oure.
At the “bottom of the Vallon de l’Oure” intersection, take the winding trail to the right. Here, you’ll find traces of an old charcoal kiln, identifiable by its black soil. An uphill climb takes you to the Tarron Plateau along a trail through the undergrowth typical of Mediterranean forests, with a high density of holm oaks and kermes oaks. You may spot an old lime kiln on your right.
At the next intersection, take the path on the left that leads you to the four-way intersection. This spot is ideal for listening to one of the many bird species found on the site. 
At the four-way intersection, turn right toward the “La Tête de Cade” trail. When it rains, some of the water runs off the surface while the rest seeps into the thin layer of soil, penetrating the cracks in the limestone and widening them, resulting several thousand years later in the formation of karst and an underground world of tunnels, sinkholes, and caves. For your safety, be sure to stay on the marked trail.
This route continues along a trail that branches off to your left. Along this trail, you’ll discover an old dry-stone shelter, a cade oven, and several hunting blinds—all evidence of the hunting that takes place on the site, with the exception of the area surrounding the Maison de la Nature.
At the end of this trail, you’ll come to a rocky path. Turn right and head uphill toward the Tête de Cade. Once you reach the plateau, leave the trail and take the path on the left that leads into the woods, heading toward the four-way intersection.
After passing an old lime kiln and a wheat field (land sown with wheat by hunters to attract game), take the path on your left to return to the four-way intersection. At this point, take the trail on your right toward the “Hauts du Vallon de l’Oure.” 
A few meters further on, take the trail on your left that descends into the cool valley shaded by holm oaks.
Continue along this trail toward the Maison de la Nature. Stop at the site of the former hilltop craft workshops. The Quatre Frères site boasts a rich heritage of dry-stone structures, bearing witness to the activities of the people and the forest industries that thrived here until 1950. Take note of the old cade oil kilns used for producing cade oil, the lime kiln, and part of a reconstructed charcoal kiln that was used to make charcoal. Note the small charcoal burner’s shelter next to it. 
Then, continue along the trail that leads you back to the Maison de la Nature, your starting point.
