Castillon-du-Gard walks

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Set off to explore the small villages of the Uzège, the sandstone and quartzite formations classified by André Malraux, the remains of Copper Age huts and a beautiful, well-restored Romanesque chapel.

Passing through garrigue, the shade of holm oaks and vineyards, this hike will allow you to discover an old restored windmill, Gallo-Roman ruins and an XIth century Romanesque chapel with, from time to time, a breathtaking 360° panorama...

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 beautiful hike that takes you to the drystone shelters, old huts built from dry stones in the heath. Beautiful landscapes and panoramic views of the Rhône.

Discovering Rochefort-du-Gard and its religious heritage, then diving into the green oak trees, which make up a large part of the surrounding vegetation, for some solitude.

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

A circuit around Uzès, discovering the Eure valley and its source that once fed the city of Nimes, then a loop through Gardoise scrubland to return to Uzès.

This is a fairly shaded hike, with one section offering a lovely view. The quarries are a fun and peaceful place for a picnic. The distance is not a problem as there is little elevation gain, making this a hike that is accessible to many, with the added bonus of a visit to Saint Quentin and its pottery workshops on the way back!

In Aramon, a village along the Rhone near Avignon, the capitelles trail takes you around a couple of these shelters created by the shepherds and farmers.

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...

Enjoy an easy stroll through the hills of Boulbon, passing by the Moulin Bonnet.

From the beautiful medieval village of Boulbon, you can reach the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Frigolet, dear to Père Gaucher, inventor of his famous liqueur, via the Montagnette. On the way back, you will pass the cross and the Romanesque chapel of Saint-Julien. And finally, the fully restored Moulin Bonnet and the feudal castle of Boulbon.Moderator's note: reviews of this hike indicate that it is useful to use a GPS or the Visorando app.

A very beautiful, mostly flat trail through holm oak trees, alternating between shaded passages and panoramic views of the surrounding plains and hills. A visit to Caesar's Camp will add a touch of history to the end of the trail.

A family walk around the Oppidum of Caesar Camp in Laudun.

Route on the Plateau de Lacau and in the two valleys that surround it: the Combe d'Enfer, very wild and mysterious, and the Combe Roubaud, less steep but just as lush.

A walk in the hills of La Montagnette, setting out from Saint Michel de Frigolet abbey.

A peaceful countryside walk, ideal for relaxation.
