Nissan-lez-Enserune walks

This route starts at the nine locks of Fonseranes and takes you on a journey of discovery through the riches of Béziers, along the Canal du Midi and the Orb river.

A stroll starting the Coursan community hall between the Aude River and Pech-Céleyran. Lovely views of the plains, the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees, from the peak. Passing by the Moulin du Pech mill.

A tranquil hike graded moderate for the distance and altitude gain. Most of the hike is on tarmac roads. Some nice views along all of the route, especially at the water tower where you can see Capestang, the lake and further away, Narbonne and the Pyrenean mountain range. Also Béziers, Puisserguier and further away, the Haut-Languedoc hills.

Walk on the outskirts of Béziers between nature and the city. Visit some of the city's remarkable points of interest. Always follow the water, in the shade if you choose the protected bank, passing through the locks (+ 2 footbridges) or along the Orb. The route is very easy as it mainly follows footpaths, with short sections shared with cars (be careful), and is accessible to children. It takes just over an hour at a brisk pace, or two hours at a leisurely pace.

Short loop in the Montagne de la Clape with a visit to the listed site of L'Œil Doux and the Domaine Municipal de l'Oustalet. This is the equestrian centre of the town of Fleury with a mini farm and an eco-museum.

Hike in the mountains of La Clape overlooking the Pyrenees, the Black Mountain and the Mediterranean. See the “Rossignol” (nightingale) mill of Armissan, and then enjoy views at the orientation table at Vinassan, and finally Marmorières Domaine’s chapel’s dovecot.

This two- to three-hour walk takes you to the Gailhousty site, where you can discover a number of structures of great architectural quality. Their function is linked to the danger of flooding from the River Aude, which has always been a threat. This part of the Canal de Jonction was built in the river's floodplain. The floods of 1999 prompted decision-makers to build the dykes that are part of the scenery along this route.

Set off on a hike through the heart of the Orb Delta vineyards to discover Sérignan and its Roman history. Along the route, you’ll enjoy views of the vineyards and the sea, as well as the town’s exceptional heritage, including its collegiate church, winegrowers’ houses and contemporary art museum.

The Oenorando will take you on a journey of discovery through the landscapes and the mosaic of grape varieties, within the Pays d’Oc and Coteaux de Béziers PGI areas, which benefit from maritime influences on terroirs of rounded pebbles caressed by the local breeze.

This hike follows paths and tracks that often cross heaths before reaching a pretty forest overlooking the Domaine de la Ricardelle. The route then runs parallel (via an uphill path) to the Chemin de la Couleuvre, allowing you to reach the antennas and enjoy a beautiful view. The return journey, which begins in the direction of the Domaine du Puech Redon, follows paths and tracks once again.This route is largely unmarked but well known to hikers as it follows a path that passes close to the cave, dominated by a statue of the Virgin of Cruque erected in 1915, and other routes in La Clape, fairly close to Notre-Dame-des-Auzils.

At the gates of Saint-Pierre-la-Mer, this hike leads to the Gouffre de l'Œil Doux via the small hamlet of Saint-Pierre. Heath, pine trees and vineyards form the backdrop to this circuit, which retains its wild character despite running along the edge of the seaside resort in its final section. The magnificent view of the sea, the Canigou and the Albères mountains will quickly make you forget how close you are.

This unique hike offers beautiful views through the heaths and at the foot of the La Clape cliffs in good weather. However, it does present a number of challenges: stony paths, rocky trails that sometimes tend to close in, two ditches to cross, a stone wall to climb at one point, then descend with caution, before returning to more pleasant paths and tracks at the end of the route. Finally, this is an unmarked route for which the use of the Visorando app or a GPS is recommended.

The main one for hikers is the magnificent view from the top of the cliffs over the village below and the Foncaude plateau. But there is also a church entirely decorated with frescoes.
