We walked along the Moyenne Corniche a few hundred meters to signpost #645 where we forked left, passing several houses and signposts #646 and #647. Climbing quite steeply in places, we crossed the Grande Corniche at signpost #648.

We came to a crossroads at signpost #650 where we forked right and soon came to the paved road (#651) south of the fortress. La Maison de la Nature was opposite us. You never get tired of the panorama from here! 

After a break we headed east along the ex-military track with which followed the precipitous southern flank of la Simboula.

At a crossroads about 1 km from Maison de la Nature we forked left. There were new signposts showing nature trail options in the woods. We chose the one to la Simboula where we climbed to the small observation tower with a map.

The new nature trails turned out to be pleasant and easy to follow, and child-friendly. Families with small children can drive up to the parking west of the fortress (Parking du fort de la Revère).

We descended back to signpost #650 where we forked right, crossed the Grande Corniche (signpost #653) and followed a steep paved road with beautiful residences then a rocky trail before reaching narrow streets just before Èze.
