Circular Séguret

A pleasant, easy hike. Climb up to the castle (superb view) via the botanical trail, then descend along the ramparts towards the llamas, who will be very curious to see you. You will enjoy the forest, which is very pleasant in summer. Return via the very pretty village of Séguret.

Description of the walk

Park in car park P3 if possible.

(S/E) Walk up towards the village and pass under the fortified gate that serves as the entrance to Séguret.

(1) At the town hall, turn sharply left towards the castle and follow the signs. After the reservoirs, take the small path on the right with the botanical signs to climb up to the castle.

(2) Enjoy the view and then keep to the right. Descend to a crossroads near some houses, continue straight ahead and you will reach the corner of a vineyard. Turn right and continue straight ahead until you reach a crossroads at a place called Le Goulet.

(3) Turn left and find a small path on the right before the reservoir.

(4) Follow it to a cross-track.

(5) Turn left. Keep left at the three-way junction and continue to the hunters' hut.

(6) Turn left towards the vineyards. Ignore a path on the right.

(7) Turn left at the fork onto the path that descends to Le Goulet.

(3) Take the small road on the right and continue straight on to the entrance to the village.

(8) Turn right to cross it.

(1) Once you reach the town hall, continue straight ahead, go through the fortified gate and head for the car park (S/E).

The hike was poorly described on paper, and since I didn't have my GPS, we foolishly followed the directions.
With a good description, this hike could be very interesting.

A magnificent little loop with lovely views of the plain and the Dentelles mountains, well shaded, which is essential on this scorching morning. Three small slopes, perfect for keeping in shape! And Séguret remains a magnificent starting point. Not to be missed

The data is correct in terms of distance. A slightly technical descent between points 2 and 3.
A beautiful view of Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail.
Most of the hike is in the shade.
A nice surprise to come across some llamas in an enclosure.

Unfortunately, we took the wrong turn at the castle ruins and turned left, going back down to the entrance of the village where we started (which made for a very short route!!!).
We think the sign should say to turn right at the castle ruins and not straight ahead. (2) We hesitated... Otherwise, the start was very well marked!
Then we got caught in the pouring rain, so we'll have to try again another time!
The little we did was very pleasant and it must be a very shady walk in summer!
The magnificent village of Séguret is a must-see!

A lovely walk offering spectacular views of the wine-growing region. Of course, the old village of Séguret is an added bonus.

Very beautiful hike... vineyards, Dentelles de Montmirail, little paths.
Quite surprised by the comment saying there's nothing to see...
Note that there are a few short steep sections...
But overall, a very nice hike...

Uninteresting hike. Although it starts in Séguret, which is a very beautiful village, the circular is uninteresting. Most of the hike is in heath with no views.

Beautiful view of the valley from the castle. Beautiful view of Ventoux and Saint Amand before point 3. Return and cross the charming village to enjoy a drink on the bar terrace.

A very pleasant and peaceful hike. Use the GPS on the Visorando app, so you don't have to worry about the route. With the sign for "la cabane des chasseurs" (the hunters' hut), I was a little reluctant to do it, but on that day there were no orange caps in sight.
Thank you for this hike.
