Description of the walk

Park near the town hall in Alignan-du-Vent.

(S/E) Starting from the town hall, take Rue Pierre Vidal, which runs alongside the café on the square, then continue along Rue des Tioulets as far as the cemetery and past it.

(1) On leaving the village, carry on straight ahead along the tarmac road that continues from Rue des Tioulets for about 900 m. Walk alongside the vineyards. The road curves first to the left then to the right, and passes a junction about 50 m further on.

(2) Turn left onto the path that runs alongside a vineyard on your right. Follow this main path, which takes two right-hand turns, then one left-hand turn, before reaching Le Travers.

(3) The Travers fitness trail and viewpoint. Enjoy the scenery, then retrace your steps along the same route to return to Place de la Mairie (S/E).

Hello

Much to my despair, I haven’t been able to go hiking as I don’t have a car😭.
However, I’d like to go. Is there a carpooling forum? I live in Béziers.
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards.

A rather uninspiring route, with little of interest apart from the orientation board at the finish.
