Departure from Dio-et-Valquières (Hérault)
This route runs entirely within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park. Setting off from Dio, you look out over the Orb valley before rejoining the river at Lamalou-les-Bains after crossing its tributary, the Mare, via the Pont du Diable. At the foot of the Monts d’Orb, you can see the Montagne de l’Espinouse and the cliffs of the Caroux Plateau. The views of Dio Castle, the walk through purple-coloured rock formations and a visit to the medieval village of Boussagues make this walk a delight.
