Description of the route
Start from Lillianes and reach the village and the chapel of Vers-Rouby, consecrated to Our Lady of the Carmes. Go up the slope on the left bank crossing various villages and visiting the chapel of the Suc-Dessus until you reach the locality called Le Molinier with its oratory. Begin to descend to Les Granges and continue on level ground to the oratory dedicated to Saint-Défendent, the ancient patron of the parish, placed on a balcony from which it is possible to admire the panorama over the whole village of Lillianes and the lower Lys valley. During the return, along the path, we can note the chapels of Santa Margherita and Le Mattet, Les Sales and La Barbiat and some architectural particularities: rascard and mauson de gra. The road takes you back to the village, near the church in the historic center, and by crossing the four-arched bridge you reach the parish church of Lillianes.
