Calvisson walks

A short walk to discover the capital of the Vaunage region and its mills at the top of Roc de Gachone, which offers a beautiful view from Pic-Saint-Loup to Mont Ventoux.

Magnificent view from the Roc de Gachone and the Tour de Guet (the Ventoux, the Pic Saint-Loup, the Hortus, the coastline).

Through the heath and pine forest, a lovely tour of the village to discover different viewpoints.

Not far from Nîmes, Roman and Gallo-Roman remains are legion (so to speak). Castellas, oppidums and Roman fountains line the Roque-de-Vif hill, surrounded by four charming villages in the Vaunage region: Saint-Dionisy to the north, Nages and Solorgues to the south, and Langlade to the east, with its pretty windmill.

A short hike starting from the village of Saint-Côme leads to the Mouressipe oppidum, offering a beautiful view of the Vaunage. This route through the heath will also take you past a few drystone shelters and along a beautiful winding path through a small valley.

This hike, starting from Langlade, will take you along forest trails and firebreaks to discover the drystone shelters and clapas, dry stone shelters and walls typical of the Gard heath.

A walk in scrubland from Langlade to the Gallo-Roman site of the Oppidum de Nages offering a view of the entire Vaunage with the Cevennes, the sea and Pic-Saint-Loup in the distance. It ends with a visit to the village of Langlade with its narrow streets, mill, its temple, its 2 squares... and its ancient houses.

This is a pleasant and easy hike, with no elevation gain, shaded and sheltered from the wind, with many points of interest: flowers in spring, quarries, mills, drystone shelters, as well as donkeys, horses and chickens. Follow the yellow markings, which makes this walk possible even without a GPS, and if you have the map, there are several shortcuts you can take if the children get tired. There are several good spots for a picnic.

Amid hills and valleys, a bull ranch (manade) under the pine trees, abandoned quarries, and quaint villages with narrow, shady lanes. A wonderful glimpse of the Gard.

A short walk in a rural setting alternating between undergrowth and viewpoints. You will discover its wild heath, which has always been used by man for food crops and sheep grazing, and oak wood for the production of charcoal and glassware.

A pleasant and easy hike through scrubland and vines with views of the plain of Congéniès. A remarkable site, the Chapelle Saint-Nazaire enshrined in scrubland.

A tour to discover the rich history of the Vidourle Valley: castles, old farmhouses, fountains and wash houses. A few sections on paved roads make this walk accessible to all.

This hike is inseparable from the history of the Vidourle, the river that has shaped the life and landscapes of the region. You will come across mills and cross ancient passes.

A pleasant, easy hike. Mostly on paths, sometimes on small roads. Landscapes of garrigue, vines and woods. Several mills line the route. You must make a short round trip to the Vidourle to admire them and enjoy the river's restful calm (on this day!!).

In the heart of the Milhaud heath, on this superb signposted trail, you will find typical drystone shelters with information panels. A short hike with some lovely surprises in store.

Mills, fords and wells punctuate this hike along the Vidourle, illustrating the importance of water and its use.

A beautiful 13 Km walk in the scrubland of Nîmes during which you will discover beautiful views of the Cevennes, magnificent capitelles and the Mediterranean vegetation: pines, cedars, fig trees, olive trees, strawberry trees, holm oaks, kermes oaks...

Hike from the small village of Vic-le-Fesc, which will take you to the Vidourle River via the picturesque site of Notre-Dame de Prime Combe with its giant statues, Stations of the Cross and open chapel.
