Cabrières walks

This hike is only permitted from 1 July to 14 January This circuit, on the right bank of the Gardon, alternates between balcony paths overlooking the Gardon gorges with unobstructed views to the north, then descends to the river and climbs back up through a wild valley. On the heights, the cliffs offer arches and caves carved into the limestone rock. Moderator's note Please note that some sections of the trail are in poor condition. See reviews

A short circular loop that passes through the Hermitage and climbs up the wild Hermitage valley along a small, cool, shaded path. After a small cultivated area, you return northwards along a track on the ridges overlooking the wild Fressinière valley. The end of the route offers superb views of the north of the valley, its villages, Mont Bouquet, Mont Ventoux and the Pont du Gard. Caution: avoid this route when the rock is wet as some sections are slippery.

Family outing visiting the beautiful site of Collias Hermitage.

A walk beginning above the Gardon Gorges and continuing down along Gardon River. Please note that part of the route crosses an area destroyed by fires in 2017.

A very pretty hike with no major difficulties. You will discover the Pont du Gard, of course, but also numerous remains of aqueducts and several aqueduct bridges in varying states of repair. A short detour along the left bank of the Gard allows you to visit the Grotte de la Balauzière, located in the ruins of an old village. Finally, on the plateau on the left bank, you can explore the very interesting Arboretum. During the walk, you can admire thousand-year-old olive trees and an arboretum. And why not take a dip in the Gard?

A breathtaking heritage walk leading to one of the most beautiful wonders in France, the Pont du Gard.

Easy hike where you can discover the Pont du Gard and its environment.

At Sernhac, south of Remoulins and Saint Bonnet du Gard, there are two tunnels that flank a small nice valley. The Perrotte and Cantarelles tunnels. Head through them to discover the chimneys by which men lowered equipment and raised the rubble during excavation. One can see traces of blows of pickaxes and holes for oil lamps. Today it is a quite popular place to find some shade and cool off for the villagers.

One of the most beautiful hikes to discover the tunnel (where the water flowed from Uzès to Nîmes), the Pont du Gard, and the remains of the Roman aqueduct.

Follow in the footsteps of the Roman aqueduct of Nîmes, between Sernhac and its tunnels and the Pont du Gard, passing through Saint-Bonnet-du-Gard and its fortified church.

A beautiful walk through the Mediterranean forest to reach the Gardon and enjoy La Chapelle. Please note that the cave is closed from 1 May to 15 August and from 15 November to 15 March. The descent is gentle, but the climb back up is steeper, though fairly short. Alternatively, set off from Collias to enjoy the Gardon Gorges for longer 30/10/2023: I have reclassified this route as "medium difficulty" following several comments about the steep climb on the way back (+100m over 300m)

Sernhac is located on the route of the Roman aqueduct, between the Pont du Gard and Nîmes. In the middle of the nearby heath, two tunnels dug into the limestone rock are the remains of this aqueduct. Continuing the walk, you will visit an old windmill. You will then climb Ferraud Hill, offering beautiful views of the lower Rhône Valley, the Alpilles, and more. Then, on Marduel Hill, overlooking Remoulin and the Gardon River at its end, the view extends all the way to Ventoux.

Discover the village wash-houses, the Pouzaranque de Plagnol, the capitelles to the North and the ruins of the Roman aqueduct.

Follow theGR®6 trailthrough the heath, then descend to a magnificent wood of huge pine trees on the banks of the Gardon. The view is exceptional! The trail then follows the banks of the Gardon, passing by its resurgences. You will then arrive at the Moulin de la Barque and the Hermitage of Saint-Vérédème. The Baume that follows crosses the wall and requires a torch, but is only open part of the year to protect the bats. A steep climb equipped with handholds allows you to return via theGR®6.

From the Pont Saint-Nicolas de Campagnac and its priory, a loop takes you through part of the Gorges du Gardon. You can admire the meandering Gardon, the Grotte de la Trône (an ancient prehistoric shelter with drawings of mammoths and a feline dating from the Upper Palaeolithic behind a closed iron door), the Baume Percée, seen from above and below, the climbing cliffs at Russan...

A picturesque walk that allows you to discover two villages (Montfrin and Théziers) as well as the largest bee wall in France.

Discover Blauzac, its Roman bridge and its "capitelles", dry-stone buildings used mainly as shelters for farmers.

Hike through the heart of the heath, along the cliffs overlooking the Gardon. The views of the Saint-Nicolas bridge and the river are magnificent.

A very beautiful route that allows you to visit the small village of Vic and get as close as possible to the Gardon river with the sublime viewpoint of Castellas. This hike is not recommended in the height of summer. Very little of the route is in the shade.

A route that starts in the heath and climbs up ancient paths to the heart of Uzès. Take a short tour of the town and descend via the pleasant green area around the Eure fountain. Then climb back up to "the Mountain" (as it is called), where you can enjoy a superb view of the bishopric of Uzès. The return journey through the woods and heath is dotted with drystone shelters.

This city walk allows you to discover numerous mansions, religious buildings and traces of the Roman Empire. A stroll through the Jardins de la Fontaine is a welcome break in this beautiful green setting.
