Departure from Saint-Maurice-Navacelles (Hérault)
A fairly conventional circuit that lets walkers admire the Cirque de Navacelles and hike in the gorges of La Vis. The ruins of the Moulins de la Foux are the ultimate goal of the hike, with beautiful explanations of these water mills and on the underground portion of the screw, not yet fully explored.

Departure from Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (Hérault)
First part of a two-day circular route from Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert to the southern Larzac.
Ascent via the Cirque de l'Infernet to reach Mont Saint-Baudille and arrive on the plateau.
Following a fire on 5 April 2023 on the heights of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and Saint-Jean-de-Fos, the route remains passable but the Fenestrettes PR® is affected, as is the Arles route (GR®653). Please check with the Saint-Guilhem – Vallée de l'Hérault Tourist Office for information on the passability of the route.
