Description of the walk

Park in the recommended car park, south of the village, on the D533.

(S/E) Return to the village. Find theGR®®65, at the grassy area with picnic tables and the metal cow. Turn right, leaving the botanical garden on your right. Soon, the path becomes a trail.

(1) At the crossroads, marked Sous l'église, go straight ahead and join the D987 road. At the top, note the old sanatorium (Belle Époque, converted into a tourist facility) and, set back on its right, a statue of the Virgin Mary. Cross carefully and go to the left, to the Fontaine-croix de Regimbal.

(2) Retrace your steps to the Sous l'église signpost crossroads.

(1) Take a detour to the left along a beautiful path, the Chemin des Montagne, which leads to the road.

(3) Return to the Sous l'église signpost crossroads.

(1) Continue straight ahead towards the Tour des Anglais (built to protect against the English). Join the D987 road; in the village, turn left, then left again, going around the Tour des Anglais to visit the church or priory.

(4) Go back up the road and turn left, then left again (fountains) to join the D533 road, and follow it to the right to return to the car park (S/E).

Very short walk
. We encountered a large number of walkers going in the other direction, but that was because we were on the GR 65 pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
