We often go to St Jeannet to run where we have several good Trails. Last weekend, I made a slight change to a Trail which circles around the Mouton d’Anou to extend it to the village of Le Broc. The result is a Trail 28.5 km with +1315 m of elevation gain, perfect for training.

Description: start in St Jeannet (430 m) or at L’Auberge des 4 chemin at La Gaude (+1km and +-100m). Cross the village of St Jeannet toward Notre Dame des Champs (church), descend to the rock climbing site of La Source, continue on the same trail then go up to the Ruine (690 m). After the ruin continue and take left on the GR 51 at the signpost. Continue on the same trail, pass the signpost 15. Then continue on the GR 51 up to the Gourbel (post 139, 140, 131). Continue on the trail and on a small road via the signpost 132, 133, 134, 135. Descend along a nice trail/dirt road to Le Broc (109, 108, 41, 42, 37). In the Le Broc follow the trail to Jas de Jausserand (38, 39, 13), then go back to St Jeannet (12).
