Saint-Jean-et-Saint-Paul walks

A beautiful hike on the Causse du Larzac to admire the Cirque du Brias, commonly known as the Cirque de Tournemire. It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful cliffs on the western edge of the Larzac, from the top of which you can enjoy a vast panorama. The best time to visit is May/June to admire all the flowers on the causse. Continue towards Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux with its magnificent restored hospital tower.

Through a coniferous forest, we discover the Russian Orthodox Chapel nestled in the heart of the woods, in an idyllic green setting. Time to pause and meditate on this magical place. Superb views. The trail is mainly woodland, which is pleasant in hot weather.

Pleasant walk starting from the centre of Camarès (you can also start from the leisure centre car park) along the Dourdou river, passing through Camarès "Ville haute" (upper town), the ruins of the old fortified town, the castle currently being restored, the rose garden, and enjoy the panoramic view from the old bell tower.

A loop passing by the Creissels waterfalls, with return trips to enjoy the heights of the Causse du Larzac and the viewpoint overlooking the Millau Viaduct and the Cirque du Boundoulaou.

Starting from Larzac, crossing the Domaine de la Maison des Forestiers and visiting a prehistoric shelter, you will descend to the source of the Durzon, then climb back up through the Pas de la Mule forest.

A beautiful and very varied hike. The route includes three caves, including the "illuminated" cave, a sinkhole, a beautiful natural arch and the famous canals (or canoles).

This hike starts in Roqueredonde and takes you to the Orb river and the Tibetan Buddhist temple Lerab Ling, where you can take a short meditation break. The route then enters the Escandorgue National Forest, where the charm of the forest paths contrasts with the chaotic dolomitic landscape of the Causse. Finally, the route follows ancient paths worn by passing flocks of sheep.

In the shade of the pink sandstone collegiate church and the surrounding woods, a peaceful escape on bushy paths, mills and hamlets, forest trails wind their way along the river Rance. Yellow markings and a ford on the Rance. ⚠️To be avoided in periods of heavy rain, otherwise one passes at ease by taking off one's shoes.

This is a very interesting route, particularly around the Canalettes site. These are two canoles, faults carved into the limestone of the causses by erosion. These fractures are particularly deep at this point. This hike also reveals the source of the Durzon, which appears as a resurgence. Similarly, the steep passage of the Pas de la Mule, although short, is another special feature of this loop.

This walk was created by the Pays de la Muse et des Raspes Tourist Office. A very pleasant walk, even in summer, as it is often in the shade. During the season, admire the splendid rosebushes in the streets of Saint-Beauzély.

Starting from the charming village of La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, this hike first leads to the remarkable Roquesaltes rock formations, highlighted by a discovery trail dotted with informative and fun signs suitable even for the youngest hikers. After exploring the magnificent Causse farm of the same name, the circuit continues on the Causse Noir and leads to the site of Montméjean, dominated by the ruins of its castle. A beautiful trail leads back to the village, where you can stop to discover the 12th-century Sainte-Marguerite d'Antobe Church before descending via a beautiful paved slanting street to the banks of the Dourbie, where a swim in the summer months is a refreshing and pleasant way to end the circuit.

This circuit is very elegant and very sporty, going around the valley formed by the Provères stream. For most of the route, you will enjoy distant views in almost every direction. At the end of the route, the gorges formed by the Bouissescure stream are very wild and have exuberant vegetation.

A beautiful walk, without major difficulty and well marked, that takes you through scrubland and forests, cliffs and limestone plateaus.

In a limestone circus setting, this circuit climbs to the foot of the cliffs, offering views of the Lodève countryside. After a refreshing stop in the hamlet of Labeil and its converted cave, it continues on the plateau, enters a dark forest, then crosses the limestone plateau amid a chaotic rock formation.

In a remote and uncrowded area, you will pass through valleys and ridges in the heart of the Monts-d'Orb national forest, renowned for its plantations of Laricio pines native to Corsica.

This sublime spot we recommend is located on the Causse Noir.First, take a look at the bucolic priory of Saint-Jean des-Balmes.Next, the Bartasserie will reveal the charm of the Causse buildings.Finally, the cliffs that line the tip of Causse Méjean, the legendary vases of Sèvre and China, the Francbouteille rock and Capluc.In short, a breathtaking panorama with a reasonable elevation gain and distance. A family outing.

A fantastic hike among old stones (Saint-Jean des Balmes priory, Saint-Michel Hermitage), magnificent panoramas, amazing ruiniform rocks and a nature reserve (Cirque de Madasse). The hike from Saint-Jean des Balmes avoids a significant elevation gain, allowing you to extend your hike to the Point Sublime at the top of the Corniche du Causse Noir.
