Manthes walks
From Manthes to the Château du Double
An easy walk, ideal in spring when the fruit trees are in bloom. Several points of interest for children.
On the way, you can see the priory of Manthes, visit an extraordinary garden created by a disciple of the facteur Cheval, tour the Château du Double and search for a riddle.
Walk in and around Manthes
Manthes is a beautiful village well worth a visit. The village is crossed by five watercourses, one of which, the Veuse, has its source here. There are ponds, a fish farm, a church and its 11th-century priory which once housed six monks, and a central square next to lovely stretches of water.
So, keep your eyes peeled and be curious, as this village has a long history, like so many others.

The slightly steep climb, alongside a field, will take you to the highest point of the route, where you can enjoy a superb view of the Galaure valley. The descent to Hauterives, through the woods, will give you a real thrill!
Walk in the land of Facteur Cheval
This varied walk first winds along the Galaure river before climbing up the hill. It meanders through the woods before returning to the village of Hauterives, in front of the Palais Idéal. Read the practical information before setting off. There is a ford to cross. If you wish, you can shorten the route and do only a 7 km circular route.

In the footsteps of Facteur Cheval
This route takes you across fields, but very often on small tarmac roads, allowing you to discover what the environment of Facteur Cheval might have been like. Perhaps some parts of the route were even part of his daily rounds!
