District:
Park in the car park at the exit of the village of Villecun (on the left towards Lodève).
(S/E) From the car park, follow the road (D157) to Col de la Défriche.
(1) Turn left onto the well-marked path (beautiful views of Lac du Salagou), which winds its way up to the viewpoint at L'Escalette. Continue along this path, which passes under a power line three times and arrives near the antennas.
(2) Continue along the ridge, staying on the main path and ignoring the paths branching off on either side. Join the GR® crossroads.
(3) Stay on the main path to the left (GR®7). It continues along the ridge; ignore a path to the right and then a trail. You will come to a junction with a path on the left (this will be the return route).
(4) Climb up to the Saint-Amans chapel, visible in the distance, staying on the same path.
(5) Retrace your steps to the previous crossroads.
(4) Follow the winding path downhill to the right (partly cemented and partly stony), which joins the road down to Lavalette.
(6) Follow it to the hamlet, admiring the views of the castle as you descend.
After crossing the village and the bridge over the stream below, look for a path that climbs slightly to the left.
(7) Follow this good path which winds through oak and chestnut woods, staying on the main path until you reach the village of Villecun. Cross the village and head for the car park (S/E).
