The Gardon Gorges

A walk beginning above the Gardon Gorges and continuing down along Gardon River. Please note that part of the route crosses an area destroyed by fires in 2017.
L'Ermitage de Collias (Collias hermitage)

Family outing visiting the beautiful site of Collias Hermitage.
Pont du Gard

Easy hike where you can discover the Pont du Gard and its environment.
The Pont du Gard and the Roman aqueduct

One of the most beautiful hikes to discover the tunnel (where the water flowed from Uzès to Nîmes), the Pont du Gard, and the remains of the Roman aqueduct.
Les Capélans and la Grande Pallières
A long loop to climb to the summit of Capélans, which offers a fine view of the surrounding area, then to discover the dolmens on the Grande Pallières ridge and the Panissière dolmen further down. Return via the quiet districts of Anduze.
Le Bois des Coufines: a balcony overlooking the Gardon, with arches and caves

This hike is only permitted from 1 July to 14 January
This circuit, on the right bank of the Gardon, alternates between balcony paths overlooking the Gardon gorges with unobstructed views to the north, then descends to the river and climbs back up through a wild valley. On the heights, the cliffs offer arches and caves carved into the limestone rock.
Moderator's note Please note that some sections of the trail are in poor condition. See reviews
The tunnels and hills of Sernhac

Sernhac is located on the route of the Roman aqueduct, between the Pont du Gard and Nîmes.
In the middle of the nearby heath, two tunnels dug into the limestone rock are the remains of this aqueduct.
Continuing the walk, you will visit an old windmill. You will then climb Ferraud Hill, offering beautiful views of the lower Rhône Valley, the Alpilles, and more. Then, on Marduel Hill, overlooking Remoulin and the Gardon River at its end, the view extends all the way to Ventoux.
La Chapelle and Grotte de la Baume from Sanilhac-Sagriès

A beautiful walk through the Mediterranean forest to reach the Gardon and enjoy La Chapelle. Please note that the cave is closed from 1 May to 15 August and from 15 November to 15 March.
The descent is gentle, but the climb back up is steeper, though fairly short.
Alternatively, set off from Collias to enjoy the Gardon Gorges for longer
30/10/2023: I have reclassified this route as "medium difficulty" following several comments about the steep climb on the way back (+100m over 300m)
The Montagnac bee-hives from Montfrin

A picturesque walk that allows you to discover two villages (Montfrin and Théziers) as well as the largest bee wall in France.
Saint-Etienne-Vallée-Française (Lébou) - Mialet (Audibert)

Twelfth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may include significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. It passes through several valleys among the Gardon rivers.
The Gardon de Mialet valley
A circuit that goes upstream along the Gardon de Mialet from Mas Soubeyran and passing the beautiful village of Mialet. This itinerary allows you to follow the river closely, with its meadows and bridges, but also to explore the slopes of the valley and to discover the beautiful hamlet of Aïgladines.
Chemin de Stevenson (Robert Louis Stevenson Trail)

A 13-stage journey along the famous route described by Robert Louis Stevenson in his 1878 travel notes. This tour follows the complete route from le Puy-en-Velay to Alès.
Mialet (Audibert) - Alès

Thirteenth and final stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, as Stevenson actually stopped at Saint-Jean-du-Gard on his journey. This last stage therefore allows you to return to a town where there are more means of communication to the starting point of the journey, while discovering the last foothills of the Cévennes.
