One starts from Belgentier, places Edouard-Granet, while
going up by the street of Rayol, then by the ruesdes
Mûriers, of the Fountain, Chateauroux; one leaves the
street of the court on the left, one penetrates surune
placette, where is a small false well, out of metal. It
is to 4 or 5 meters with beyond starts the red layout.
(the distance covered by all these streets and places
hardly exceeds 200 meters.) Threshold of this Touge
layout, opposite oneself, in full West, is drawn up, of
almost vertical aspect, in any case terribly tilted, the
hard dolomitic wall which supports Valbelle.Heureusement
these are not these excessive slopes that it will be
necessary to cross: the general direction will support on
the extreme-left of this wall, by a spur which will be
welded there not far
red traced faite.Le, initially horizontal, goes down then
slowly, in Western direction, towards the fonddu ravine,
then crosses the very small river, often dry, of which it
goes up right bank A 15 min. of Belgentier a first post,
marked " VALBELLE ", announces a junction. One
is there in the small valley known as: " Wine Bottom
".
After this junction the path reassembles in laces a spur,
on the left, to the top which, 15 new away minutes from
the first, a second signpost ance of the first, a second
signpost " VALBELLE ", but loosened and laid
down on the ground, marks new and abrupt change of
direction, of South in South-west, with abandonment on
the left of the path followed up to now.
10 min. after, the red path attacks the large spur going
up to South-west (left) to go to join the left of the
large frontal wall. It rises in laces along the
flancgauche this spur, in rather strong rise but very
réguliére; reached, then exceeds lepoteau indicating
" Balsam-Obscure " cave, located a little low
and on the right of the ravindont one goes up the left
slope (left and right getting along: ascending
direction). This cave is rather difficult access and can
be visited only during the dry season, says Mr.
HENSELING(Zigzags in the VAr, April 1935).
They is a few moments later than takes place the welding
of the spur to the " wall of Escavallins " the
laces of the path are moulted there in laces of cornice,
in the unit stretched enough on the line, notammment
upwards, narrow but always excellently traced. The last
reach finally the " No Belgentier " where is
crossed the line of made to reach at once a horizontal
plane, threshold of haunts valley of Valbelle, broad and
Alpine, framed of two dolomitic links: that of Moriére
(7öm.) on the left, that of Valbelle (709-778 m.) on the
right. The farm of valbelle alt. 617 Mr.), ruined partly
only (it remains still one 1st livable stage and a well
of excellent water (requires cord from 5 to 6 m.) is
dissimulated to 5 min. from there, on the line; in the
first large coppices, with height of a post-recall of the
Service of National Forestry Commission against the
