Notes

There are picnic tables near the Cammaous Bridge.

Worth a visit

Pont des Cammaous: this bridge spans the Brestalou, a small tributary of the Vidourle, at an altitude of 95 metres, in the commune of Vacquières, in the Hérault department but a stone's throw from the Gard department. It is nearly a thousand years old, as it probably dates from the late 11th/early 12th century. It is a pointed arch bridge about thirty metres long, consisting of three arches of different sizes, standing in a peaceful and charming location.

A pleasant, flat route with no difficulties.
However, a few more markers in certain places would make it easier to find your way.
The joy of wandering through vineyards, watching sheep grazing, seeing winegrowers at work... Just the sort of walk we love.

Thank you for this hike, which is easy and suitable for families. No difficulty at all, completely flat. A little muddy in the wooded section, but we can't complain given the weather the day before.

A very easy walk with very little shade, a bit flat in every sense of the word.
Fortunately, the vineyards are pleasant and the Roman bridge is a nice bonus.
I combined it with the superb "Coutach Forest from Corconnes" hike to finish on a high note.

A short, easy hike, partly through vineyards. Between points 7 and 8, the edges of the trail are dotted with wild irises in large numbers. Beautiful view of the Corconne cliffs. Sheep and ewes clean the rows of vines (the winegrowers of La Gravette practise ecology). The Pont des Cammaous bridge is an ideal place to stop for a break.

This is an easy hike as there are no steep slopes.
When leaving the car park, turn left immediately onto the small road and not onto the main road.
The paths are still not marked, which can cause some hesitation. With the route on your phone, you'll be fine.

At the start, there is an error in the directions: you must turn LEFT when leaving the cooperative winery car park, not right!
The route is then signposted almost all the way, but you need to stay alert as there are several different routes on offer. Make sure you find the right one by following the description and GPS track.
Otherwise, it's a lovely, very pleasant walk. The Vère mill and the Commaous bridge, then on the way back, the view of Corconne, the plateau and the chapel at the top are well worth seeing.
Thank you for this track.
