Access
- Access by car to the Baisse de Peïrefique is via a rough road, narrow in places. It's best to take a slightly higher vehicle or a 4X4.
After passing through the hamlet of Casterino, the initially tarmac track becomes dirt and leads to the Potamou barrier, one of the "gateways" to the national park.
Turn right onto the track towards Baisse de Peyrefique. After 5km from Potamou, park your vehicle in the parking lot next to marker 371 and follow the signs for "Col du Sabion".
Parking: Baisse de Peïrefique.
