Park along Chemin de Bouqueyran without obstructing traffic or access to nearby homes.
(S/E) Continue along Chemin de Bouqueyran in the direction of arrival.
(1) Turn left onto the stony path marked in yellow, which will take you along a large part of the walk: a gentle climb through canyon-like landscapes. Take the path on the right at the “Carrefour des Béziers” sign andcontinue up this gentle slope through the pine trees, following the yellow markings. You’ll reach an open area with a hut and various paths.
(2) Take the path furthest to the left to head back down. Follow a path with a hedge screening a tree plantation and arrive at the end of the field with an iron gate in front of you.
(3) Turn left to wander amongst the vines and olive trees. A steeper climb follows along a forest track.
(4) At the end of this climb, turn left. Follow an old BMX track along a wide dirt track and you’ll reach, on your left, the entrance to the sand caves (former quarry).
(5) Enter the galleries carefully to admire the sculptures and a surprise! On your way out, follow the small paths running alongside the main track to discover old buildings, ruins and a dangerous well: take care. Return to the track and climb gently up to a viewpoint overlooking the Rhône Valley.
(6) Behind you lies a beautiful ruin and magnificent scenery of partly burnt pine trees, as well as a stunning canyon below.
Head down the track towards the village until you reach the barrier marking the end of the path, then join a tarmac road (Montée des Béziers).
(7) Follow the road to the junction with Avenue Saint-Louis and turn left for about 150 m. Then turn left to follow Chemin de Bouqeyran back to where you parked (S/E).
