Walk up through Calenzana from the gîte d’étape and campsite, passing the Spar shop at 255m (835ft). Follow the road up through the village to reach Le GR20 bar restaurant. It’s possible to turn right and short-cut up the backstreet of A Torra to reach the Place Saint Antoine. However, stay on the main road to continue past the Bar Picciu Glacier and Pizzeria Prince Pierre to reach the Hôtel Bel Horizon and the Église St Blaise in the middle of the village, to follow the ‘official’ route.

Turn right along a narrow street signposted as the GR20, which soon climbs a broad flight of steps into a palm-shaded car park. Turn right beside the town hall, or Hôtel de Ville, down another flight of steps. Pass between the post office and Proxi grocery, climbing another flight of steps, as signposted for the GR20 and L’ Atelier du Village. A narrow, winding path rises to a junction. Turn right at the Place Commune, then turn left to continue through the Place Saint Antoine along paved streets.

Pass the Oratoire St Antoine de Padoue and, as you do, offer a little prayer to the patron saint of lost things that you remembered to pack everything you needed for the trek! Pass a signpost beside a stone-built well and follow a cobbled path up from the village. This runs through a deep groove overhung by trees, passing through a small gate. The path rises from the trees and reaches an area of bare granite at Lavupargu, turning right to follow a low drystone wall further uphill.
