There are a few parking spaces at the Seynes town hall.
(S/E) Leaving the town hall car park, turn right onto the main road towards the D6. Pass the cemetery. Near the D6, follow an old road on the right and immediately turn right again onto a path closed by a barrier (yellow signpost and signpost). The path climbs steadily and the view of the Gard countryside changes with every bend. Pass the climbing site.
(1) At the crossroads, follow the signs along a path that branches off to the right. The climb is a little steeper, with Mont Bouquet and its telecommunications masts in sight. Stay on this path.
(2) The signposts indicate a path on the right which, after a few metres, leads to the paragliding launch site.
Follow the path across the landing area and, at the end, take a small path marked by a yellow sign on a clearly visible stone stele. The view is magnificent on both sides.
The trail gently climbs to the summit of Mont Bouquet. Pass a second paragliding launch site and head towards the antennas, the watchtower and the Madonna statue.
(3) Finally, you've reached the summit! The view stretches far and wide, and a small orientation table helps you find your bearings.
It's time to head back. Follow a well-marked trail that runs along the cliffs, then quickly take a trail on the right into the undergrowth. Follow it to the D607, then turn right towards a clearly visible track.
(4) Just before this, turn left onto a small, well-marked path. This stony path descends to a wide track on the left, which you take towards the ruins of a castle.
(5) Follow this track to the place called "Le Castellas" and its old castle. Pass to the right of the castle on a downhill track. Pass the hairpin bend on the right.
(6) Turn left onto a small, poorly marked path. Follow it until you cross the track again. Take it on the left and after a few metres, turn right again onto a second small, poorly marked path. Follow it, ignoring a first path that branches off to the left and a second one that branches off to the right. You will come to a Y-junction.
(7) Turn right and continue to a second fork. Turn right again and continue on this path, which widens. You will reach another Y-junction.
(8) Turn right. At the first intersection, turn left and then left again at the next intersection. The path will quickly pass through orchards.
(9) Enter the small village of Puech. Continue along the road for a few metres, take the first right and then, after an S-bend, take the road on the right again which passes in front of the town hall towards Seynes (D147A).
Follow it for quite a long time until you reach the DFCI D40 track.
(10) Follow this track to the left. Stay on it until you reach a crossroads. The track turns into a paved road.
(11) At the intersection, take a path that climbs to the right. Continue on this path until you reach a crossroads and continue straight ahead. The path quickly joins the D607.
(12) Take this road on the left. Leave a road that climbs towards Mont Bouquet on your right. Continue south. Reach the point where the road starts a steep slope on the left (elevation 387);
(13) Continue straight ahead on a wide path. Follow it to Seynes, where it becomes Rue du Château d'Eau. Continue to the end.
Turn right onto the main street to return to the Seynes Town Hall car park (A/D).
