If possible, park in the shade under the chestnut trees on Rue du Chemin Neuf in Aubais.
(S/E) At the Aubais signpost with the yellow hiking signs, follow the direction of Junas. To do this, go down to a small bridge, cross it and continue along this street, which turns right. Quickly turn left onto Rue du Pialat, then leave it by continuing straight ahead along a small grassy path that descends along a dry stone wall. Then join the road at Mas de Rieu and turn right for a short distance.
At the Chemin de Rieu sign, continue towards Bois de Dumas to reach the road called Chemin de Junas.
(1) Take this road opposite, then turn left onto the path marked in yellow. Ignore all the side roads until you reach a crossroads with a stone house.
(2) Turn right and you will come to a track, more or less tarmaced, which you take to the left until you reach two houses on your right.
(3) Between the two gates (nos. 589 and 593), turn right onto a path that leads to the entrance to Junas, opposite the clock. Continue to follow the yellow markings towards Les Carrières, via the Route d'Aujargues and then the Chemin de Poussel. You will then reach the water tower, a reminder of the jazz festival, and the entrance to the Bon Temps quarry.
(4) Cross Junas, following the directions given in the "During" section. Pass close to the water tower, turn left onto Rue des Carrières to reach a crossroads near the stone refreshment bar. Here you will find an old "Roulez au Pas" sign on the ground and a path through the woods leading to the circular Boucle des Carrières.
(5) Follow this yellow-marked trail, alternating between descents and ascents. At the top of the climb, you can go straight ahead and join a wider path, bearing the marks of stone carts in the ground. Turn left, then quickly turn left again to walk along the fence, which offers a view of the quarry, now in operation. Continue along this path until you reach a large block of stone topped with small cairns, then turn left, taking the path marked with a yellow pin. Continue to the road at the roundabout.
(6) Cross it and take the Chemin de la Roustagne uphill opposite, then very quickly turn right onto the Chemin du Moulin à Vent. At the crossroads, opposite a house, the Résidence de la Roustagnole, turn right and you will come to a remarkable majestic holm oak. Turn left, still following the yellow markings, along a shaded path that leads to the windmill on the right, hidden in the vegetation.
(7) When you leave the building, take the path on the left to return to the main path. Follow it to the right to reach the Moulin de Corbières.
(8) Head towards the Promenade signpost and follow the Chemin de Christin sign to continue your journey along the vineyards and meadows of Fond du Boulet until you reach the crossroads at Chemin de Christin.
(9) Turn left towards Le Pressoir and continue to follow the yellow markings to reach thefirst drystone shelter.
(10) Continue under the trees and enjoy the several drystone shelters located below. At the road, turn right to reach the place called Le Pressoi.
(11) Continue right, downhill, towards Pont des Combes, and arrive at the Maison de la Drystone Shelter, on the edge of a road. Cross this road to take the small path opposite, marked with a yellow sign on the electricity pole. A few steps further on, you will find a Y-shaped crossroads.
(12) Turn sharply left, cross the road leading to Mas Neuf, walk alongside the Chênes campsite, then join the Tuilerie Haute crossroads.
(13) Continue to the right to reach a forest path. Take it to the left, turn left again at Mas Bertrand to reach the Tour crossroads.
(14) Turn right, walking along the endless wall of this property. Join the road, turn left to return to the initial crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Turn right and retrace your steps to return to the Chemin Neuf car park in Aubais (S/E).
