Coming from Murviel-les-Béziers or Cazouls-les-Béziers, 2.5 km before Cessenon-sur-Orb, turn left towards Cazedarnes, Abbaye de Fontcaude and then immediately left again, then park before a barrier, at the Vailladou property.
(S/E) Start on the small tarmac road to the right of the barrier and follow it to the Pradasses crossroads.
(1) Continue along the vineyard path skirting the countryside until you reach a crossroads with several directions.
(2) Take the path on the right between the vineyards, cross the small road and continue between the vineyards to reach the D134E1.
(3) Cross with caution as there is a lot of traffic. Continue straight ahead on the road to reach Fontcaude Abbey.
(4) Continue and you will soon find theGR®787, which is shared with theGRP® Tours en Minervois Saint-Chinian et Faugères. Take it to the right and cross the D134E1 again with caution. Pass under a power line and you will come to a small stream.
(5) Take the path on the left and head towards the Fontaine Gaillarde, which is always full of water.
(6) Return in the opposite direction to the previous crossroads.
(5) Turn left onto theGR® trail and descend until you reach a crossroads at the Ruisseau de Rhonel stream, opposite a pond. To see the Fontaine Gaillarde fountain, return to the previous point and continue along the path to a small bridge.
(7) Turn left onto theGR®GRP® and continue to Cazedarnes le Bas.
(8) Turn right next to a pond and continue along theGR® trail until you reach the highest point, then descend to the Vallongue vineyards, where you will find a pretty drystone shelter.
(9) Walk along the right bank of the Vallongue stream. Further on, cross to the left bank and you will come to a three-way crossroads.
(10) Leave theGR® here and take the cement road on the right. At the next Y-shaped crossroads, take the dirt track on the left to cross the hamlet of Puech del Tros. You will reach a clearing.
(11) Continue to the right and you will arrive at a large field in the hamlet of Les Planels. Cross it to find the edge of a wood.
(12) Take the path on the right, continue into the woods, then walk alongside the vineyards to reach a disused road, parallel to the D14.
(13) Turn right onto this road and continue to the car park at the Vailladou barrier (S/E).
