Conqueyrac walks

Hike in the foothills of the Cévennes in a heath landscape with beautiful views of two characteristic hills: the Rouquette and Saint-Chamant peaks. The difficulty can be adjusted: each summit can be climbed on a short round trip. I recommend taking a break for a snack at the summit of Saint-Chamant.

A journey through both geological time and history, exploring the medieval village of Sauve and the chaos of the Mer des Rochers.

Hike along the Mer de Rochers trail, discover the old village and climb up to a limestone plateau dotted with rocky outcrops and covered with heath-type vegetation, which offers some beautiful views. On the outskirts of the village of Sauve, men once cultivated plots of land and a legend was born.

A beautiful hike through the Coutach Forest, among lush vegetation and mossy rocks that create an atmosphere of coolness and mystery. After a short detour to the chapel overlooking the rocky chaos, you then reach the ridge where you can enjoy the views stretching as far as the eye can see, before beginning the descent to the old Corconnes path. See the practical information for a medium-difficulty alternative route.

Circular mountain bike route from Quissac to admire some of the restored structures on the greenway from Quissac to Sumène. Tunnels and viaduct between Sumène and Ganges and the Saint-Hyppolite-du-Fort viaduct. Note the beautiful structure with its segmental arch at the entrance to Sumène.

This hike crosses the Corconne vineyards. The name of this vineyard is Gravette de Corconne. The hike is not particularly difficult. On the way, you pass near the medieval Cammaous Bridge.

Mont Haut, isolated between the Alzon valley and the Pompignan plain, offers breathtaking views of the entire Cévennes region as far as the Aigoual massif. Hidden away in its holm oak woods is a hermitage, a true haven of peace.

This hike takes you from Claret to Corconne via the plain, then back along the ridges with beautiful views of the surrounding area. From the Notre-Dame du Château chapel, there is a beautiful view of the Corconne vineyards and, on a clear day, the ponds and, further away, the sea.

Situated at an altitude of 600 m, on the foothills of the Cévennes, Colognac is a village with typical Cévennes character. The lush vegetation of the meadows, chestnut trees and oaks contrasts sharply with the arid heath. We are in the mountains. From the Col des Fosses (900 m), the views stretch northwards over the Borgne valley as far as the Barre des Cévennes, and south-westwards over the Viganais and beyond. At the start, the Mouleyrette mill is a little gem.

A short hike in shade to discover no less than five Neolithic dolmens, including the four dolmens of the Grande Pallières site.

A beautiful walk for the whole family that leads to a spring through the heath.

Departure from Mas Baume, where the Asphodèles trail begins.

A circular loop following only GR® trails. We start on the GR®63 to reach Colognac. Then we take the GR®6 and 67 to the Col de l’Asclier, with superb views all along this gradual climb, before taking the GR®61 and then the GR®63 again to Lasalle. Camp Barrat (13) is a perfect spot for a picnic; situated at an altitude of 920 m, it offers views stretching from the sea to the Monts de Lozère. The 270° view from the summit of the Col du Fageas is superb too. However, it is a demanding route, with a significant elevation gain, even if it is gradual and without any particular difficulty. The steep descents are even more challenging, with numerous stones requiring constant attention, particularly after the Col du Fageas on the way to the Col de l’Asclier, though this section can be avoided. Another demanding descent follows the Col de la Mortière.

A circular route starting from the car park at the spinning mill in Lasalle, heading towards Sainte-Croix-de-Caderle and its magnificent chapel via the Col de l’Oursine. Return via Calviac and Saint-Bonnet-de-Salendrinque. Mainly through woodland, you’ll still enjoy plenty of magnificent views. Places to see: Le Sollier and Le Castellas castles, the chapel of Sainte-Croix-de-Cadelre, the Menhir at a drystone shelter, the Salendrinque river and the spinning mills of Lasalle.

Between vineyards and olive groves, a few beautiful farmhouses and villages. Different landscape on the banks of the Gardon, with meadows. All that remains of the château are the walls and a view. A passage also high up on the heath.
