This two- to three-hour walk takes you to the Gailhousty site, where you can discover a number of structures of great architectural quality. Their function is linked to the danger of flooding from the River Aude, which has always been a threat. This part of the Canal de Jonction was built in the river's floodplain. The floods of 1999 prompted decision-makers to build the dykes that are part of the scenery along this route.

A discovery walk in the historic centre of Narbonne, with a stroll along the Canal de la Robine (a branch of the Canal du Midi), followed by a wander through the streets to discover the city's iconic monuments, such as the Archbishop's Palace, Saint-Juste and Saint-Pasteur Cathedral, the Pont des Marchands, the Maison des Trois Nourrices, not to mention the superb market halls.

Nissan-lez-Enserune, its mills, its Parazols bridge, located on the Roman road, then on the royal road. Walk in a site offering a vast panorama, stretching from the mountains (Caroux, Montagne Noire) to the Mediterranean Sea.

Short loop in the Montagne de la Clape with a visit to the listed site of L'Œil Doux and the Domaine Municipal de l'Oustalet. This is the equestrian centre of the town of Fleury with a mini farm and an eco-museum.

The route consists of two small circular loops: 1 - Discover the town of Narbonne by climbing up to the orientation table via a pretty path. You will descend via the spectacular little road, the "Chemin de la Couleuvre". 2 - At the start of the Combe Mâle, at the foot of the wild climbing cliffs (50 routes according to the FFME). After a steep climb through the vegetation, you will descend gently towards the magical Vierge de Cruque. You can climb up to discover the cave located under the statue.

In Occitan, “Plana” means flat; here it refers to the flat hill. This footpath allows you to explore Moussan and its hills, with the magnificent view from the Plana, which offers a vista over much of the region from Narbonne to Béziers, with the Montagne Noire and the Alaric in the background. It also allows you to discover the pre-Romanesque Chapel of Saint-Laurent.

This walk allows you to discover the flat part of Moussan and its surroundings, with the junction between the Aude river, the Cesse and the Robine canal (a branch of the Canal du Midi), as well as the circular streets of the village.

This hike follows paths and tracks that often cross heaths before reaching a pretty forest overlooking the Domaine de la Ricardelle. The route then runs parallel (via an uphill path) to the Chemin de la Couleuvre, allowing you to reach the antennas and enjoy a beautiful view. The return journey, which begins in the direction of the Domaine du Puech Redon, follows paths and tracks once again.This route is largely unmarked but well known to hikers as it follows a path that passes close to the cave, dominated by a statue of the Virgin of Cruque erected in 1915, and other routes in La Clape, fairly close to Notre-Dame-des-Auzils.

This hike, which starts from the road (Chemin de la Couleuvre), will allow you to discover the Massif de la Clape from a different angle, passing by springs, karstic caves and caves.

A tranquil hike graded moderate for the distance and altitude gain. Most of the hike is on tarmac roads. Some nice views along all of the route, especially at the water tower where you can see Capestang, the lake and further away, Narbonne and the Pyrenean mountain range. Also Béziers, Puisserguier and further away, the Haut-Languedoc hills.

This unique hike offers beautiful views through the heaths and at the foot of the La Clape cliffs in good weather. However, it does present a number of challenges: stony paths, rocky trails that sometimes tend to close in, two ditches to cross, a stone wall to climb at one point, then descend with caution, before returning to more pleasant paths and tracks at the end of the route. Finally, this is an unmarked route for which the use of the Visorando app or a GPS is recommended.

A half-day walk in the hills of Roches Grises in Narbonne to discover the forerunner of telecommunications, with a superb view of the Étang de Bages-Sigean.

You'll discover part of the Massif de Fontfroide between the Domaine de Jonquières and the Abbaye de Fontfroide (visit possible), thanks to the many DFCI trails closed to motor vehicle traffic. The demanding section of the Combe d'Enfer should be walked with care, or even avoided after rain. An alternative route, described in the practical information section, allows you to bypass this tricky section.
