We started from signpost #191. Our summit was not mentioned, just St-Martin, Le Lac, Massoins etc. We descended to Vallon de Bairols with a dry riverbed. The start of the ascending trail had collapsed, and there were attempts to rebuild this with a heap of stones. Later the trail was mostly OK. We reached a paved road with restricted traffic at a place called St.-Martin (1071 m). The signpost #190 was here in a bend, not as on our map, 300 m further by the road.

We followed the paved road, climbing gradually. At a sharp bend (1183 m elev. on the map) we tried in vain to locate a forest path which went directly to the western flank of Mount Falourde. We therefore continued along the road to signpost #194 near an area named Le Lac. Here, we forked left (south) along a wide track towards Pointe de l’Adret.

We reached a picturesque clearing east of this peak. We continued east along  le Bau du Paradis (actually a ridge between the two summits), first along the same track then forked right and followed a partly ingrown path which undulated in the terrain. We had our goal in sight all the time. The incline increased just before the summit. Some easy scramble helped.

On the way back, we descended to signpost #194, walked past Le Lac (mountain holiday cottages to rent) and soon reached signpost #195, forked right and descended to St.-Martin. The last stretch was eroded and overgrown. From here, we used the same itinerary back to Bairols.
