Description
Hiking trail colour : yellow.
---
Start the climb from the Conservatoire du Littoral information panel and follow the yellow way-markers. After a climb of approximately 570m, go along the fence (on the right-hand side) to reach the viewpoint (260m there and back) over Terre-de-Haut, Terre-de-Bas and Basse-Terre.
Come back along the same path to continue the climb. Carry on to a crossroads and turn right to reach the ruins of La Batterie Caroline (from the fortified platform there is a spectacular view over Dominique, Marie-Galante and, lower down, Pompierre beach).
Go back along the path, as far as the last junction. Begin the descent to the left, by the hairpin bends; go between the houses, taking the metalled road. When you reach the road (Pompierre beach is on the left), take the right turn to return to the starting point.
Be careful ! Be sure to follow the way-markers (there are several other trails along that 'trace')
