Park at the car park by Saint-André Church in Vérargues.
(S/E) From the car park, follow Rue du Château d’Eau, passing the town hall and the clinic. At the roundabout, turn left onto Route de Saturargues.
(1) At the cross, turn right onto the farm track then continue straight on southwards through the vineyards. You will reach a tarmac road which is an ancient Roman road.
(2) Turn right onto this road, which is also the Way of St James via theGR® 653.
(3) In front of the Landseer dog breeding kennels, turn right then immediately left. Go round the Bois de la Devéze and you will soon reach the castle of the same name.
(4) Go round the estate on the left and pass in front of the wine cellar. From the cellar, continue straight ahead along the vineyard and, at the end, turn left onto a service track.
(5) Cross the road (D 110) with care, and head along the Muscat de Lunel cooperative winery. You are now in the heart of the Muscat vineyards, the finest in Europe, according to Rousseau. The Muscat de Lunel AOC covers Lunel, Lunel-Viel, Saturargues and Vérargues. After the sewage treatment plant, veer left and continue along the vineyards.
(6) At the three-way junction, keep right and continue round the vineyards. In the woods, take the path on the right under the pine trees, keeping the vineyard on your right.
(7) Follow the farm track to the right, then turn left towards the romantic Château de Pouget.
(8) Walk past the château on the right. Continue through the vineyards to reach the Route de Saint-Christol (D110 E2).
(9) Turn right and, as you near the end of the walk, admire an old wash house on a plane-tree-lined avenue; ahead of you, you’ll find the Château de Vérargues and the car park (S/E).
