Chemin du Facteur is the main and most direct access to Girolata. This is also the path that Guy Ceccaldi took every day until 2006 to bring their mail to the inhabitants of the hamlet. Indeed, in the absence of passable tracks, the postman walked 7 kilometers every day to carry out his duty. Admirable!

Guy Ceccaldi covered the 7 km to Girolata 6 days a week in 40 minutes to deliver letters and packages to the residents there (normal time: 1.5 hours). Only on days when there were particularly many packages did he get help in the form of his donkey Tschou Tschou. Since Guy Ceccaldi retired in 2006, the mail to Girolata has been delivered by boat. It's impressive when you walk this route yourself with this knowledge.
