Prieuré Saint-Nicolas de Campagnac (Sainte-Anastasie) walks

This is a long hike that takes you through part of the Gardon Gorges, with beautiful views of the river and the La Baume site.

Starting from Russan, this circular walk will take you through the upper section of the Gorges du Gardon within the municipality of Sainte-Anastasie. During the first section along DFCI tracks, you’ll pass through the charming village of Vic before descending to Saint-Nicolas, near the priory and the bridge of the same name. The climb then begins up to the plateau overlooking the Gardon via a path that is at times steep with sharp limestone pavements. Finally, a lovely track will take you to Castellas, where the viewpoint over a horseshoe-shaped bend in the Gardon is breathtaking. On your way back to the car park, you’ll have the chance to explore the surprising Grotte de la Trone.
