Road access (From Nyons to the 13km parking lot).
From Nyons, take the D94 towards Rémuzat, following the meanders of the Eygues. After 7km, turn left onto the D70 towards Condorcet and St-Ferréol-Trente-Pas. 1.5km after St-Ferréol, park on the left on a median strip just before a low wall, at the level of a farm track which descends to the left below the road (3 cars max). If there's no more space, park 500m ahead on the left at the "Le Pilat" campsite.

Approach (from parking lot to foot of cliffs: 30min)
Follow the farm track to the two brooks, which you ford, to set foot on the other bank at the edge of a lavender field. Follow the field to the right (north) until you reach its northern end, where a small path rises to the left (above the field). This faint path joins a track which rises to the right (north) and which you follow for about 5 minutes. Leave the path to take a good path which returns to the left (south) through undergrowth of croaker pine. After about 5mn of slightly uphill walking, the path turns right, facing the slope, and becomes much steeper in oak undergrowth. After a 10-minute walk, and after encountering a small scree, you come to a fork under a small rocky base of sloping slabs. The path to the right leads in 5 minutes to the two lower sectors ("random erection" right and left). The left-hand path takes 5 minutes to reach the upper sectors ("Dévers" and "Jérusalem-Est").
