A short walk in Saint-Jeannet : Les Baous de la Gaude and St-Jeannet

From the bus stop or parking lot at the entrance to the village, take the stairs to rue du Vallon, then left into place Sainte Barbe.
Go straight through the village (beacon) and at the washhouse, go up to Place du Verger, and take Rue du Baou, then Chemin du Baou GR®51 (beacon).
On the chemin du Baou, 100 m after the junction with the Baou de Saint-Jeannet (beacon), turn right onto the path leading to the summit of the Baou de la Gaude (beacon).
Here you'll find the Gros Chêne, several hundred years old and measuring 6.7 m in circumference, a former sheepfold and a castellaras (follow the yellow markers to discover the northern wall).
Retrace your steps (beacon) and head due north towards Jas Jausserand (beacon). At Clos de l'Evêque, admire the workmanship of the dry-stone walls and turn left in a hairpin bend, heading south down the Vallon de Parriau. At the signpost, take the path that climbs to the right, heading north-west towards Baou de Saint-Jeannet.
Once on the plateau, turn left due south as far as Baou de Saint-Jeannet, on rocky slabs.
The summit is on the left at the end of the path, where you'll find an orientation table and bench. Enjoy the 360° panorama of the Mediterranean coast and the Mercantour massif.
To return, retrace your steps to marker 85.
Turn left towards the GR®51 (north-west) and follow the yellow markings. The path wanders over a plateau with undergrowth passages, passes to the right of a capitelle (dry-stone hut) and comes out on the GR®51 (signpost).
Take the GR®51 to the right, out of the undergrowth, and follow it to the village of St-Jeannet. Return to your starting point.
