A walk in scrubland from Langlade to the Gallo-Roman site of the Oppidum de Nages offering a view of the entire Vaunage with the Cevennes, the sea and Pic-Saint-Loup in the distance. It ends with a visit to the village of Langlade with its narrow streets, mill, its temple, its 2 squares... and its ancient houses.

Not far from Nîmes, Roman and Gallo-Roman remains are legion (so to speak).

A beautiful hike between "two waters" in the heart of the Camargue. Ponds, marshes, the Rhône Canal in Sète, the Philippe Lamour Canal, horses, bulls... everything that makes up the Camargue is brought together on a magnificent circuit with no difficulty other than its length.

A tour to discover the rich history of the Vidourle Valley: castles, old farmhouses, fountains and wash houses. A few sections on paved roads make this walk accessible to all.

A pleasant, easy hike. Mostly on paths, sometimes on small roads. Landscapes of garrigue, vines and woods. Several mills line the route. You must make a short round trip to the Vidourle to admire them and enjoy the river's restful calm (on this day!!).

From the Pont Saint-Nicolas de Campagnac and its priory, a loop takes you through part of the Gorges du Gardon. You can admire the meandering Gardon, the Grotte de la Trône (an ancient prehistoric shelter with drawings of mammoths and a feline dating from the Upper Palaeolithic behind a closed iron door), the Baume Percée, seen from above and below, the climbing cliffs at Russan...

This hike is only permitted from 1 July to 14 January This circuit, on the right bank of the Gardon, alternates between balcony paths overlooking the Gardon gorges with unobstructed views to the north, then descends to the river and climbs back up through a wild valley. On the heights, the cliffs offer arches and caves carved into the limestone rock. Moderator's note Please note that some sections of the trail are in poor condition. See reviews

At Sernhac, south of Remoulins and Saint Bonnet du Gard, there are two tunnels that flank a small nice valley. The Perrotte and Cantarelles tunnels.
