Thoiras walks

On the heights of the Doucette valley, discover a Camisarde cave, the Grotte de Pagès, then climb to the Roc de la Chapelle, a sheer drop overlooking the Boisseson valley, before descending to the banks of the Gardon de Saint-Jean.

An easy walk with few real difficulties offering stunning panoramic views of the valleys of the Gardon in Saint-Jean and Mialet. On the trip you can discover the concretions and gours of the Grotte de Valaurie (300m of underground galleries) if the entrance is still open.

A circuit that goes upstream along the Gardon de Mialet from Mas Soubeyran and passing the beautiful village of Mialet. This itinerary allows you to follow the river closely, with its meadows and bridges, but also to explore the slopes of the valley and to discover the beautiful hamlet of Aïgladines.

A varied walk consisting of a challenging climb to discover the heights of Mialet and a more leisurely walk along the Gardon de Mialet. Along the way, you will discover hilltop hamlets, a temple, a dolmen and the famous Pont des Camisards bridge.

A lovely loop through the woods with several viewpoints.

A short hike in shade to discover no less than five Neolithic dolmens, including the four dolmens of the Grande Pallières site.

In the heart of the Cévennes, a circuit along paved slanting streets and forest tracks, discovering the farmhouses and hamlets of the Camisards.

A long loop to climb to the summit of Capélans, which offers a fine view of the surrounding area, then to discover the dolmens on the Grande Pallières ridge and the Panissière dolmen further down. Return via the quiet districts of Anduze.

Loop starting from the car park at the spinning mill in Lasalle towards Sainte-Croix-de-Caldere and its magnificent chapel via the Col de l'Oursine. Return via Calviac and Saint-Bonnet-de-Salendrinque. Mainly in the woods, but you will still have plenty of magnificent views. Places to visit: Le Sollier and Le Castellas castles, the chapel of Sainte-Croix-de-Caldere, the Menhir à la Borie, the Salendrinque river and the spinning mills of Lasalle.

Stroll through the narrow streets of Les Puechs and Carnoulés, beautiful Cévennes hamlets, and discover panoramic views of the Cévennes with the scents of the heath, chestnut trees and green oak groves.. Be careful on rocky sections, which can be dangerous (3) and (6).

A walk to discover the hilltop hamlets of Saint-Sébastien-d'Aigrefeuille.

Thirteenth and final stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, as Stevenson actually stopped at Saint-Jean-du-Gard on his journey. This last stage therefore allows you to return to a town where there are more means of communication to the starting point of the journey, while discovering the last foothills of the Cévennes.

A beautiful circuit in the Gard countryside allowing you to discover the town of Anduze from the rock dominating it. Very pleasant circuit in the Gard countryside allowing you to discover this Mediterranean vegetation made of green oaks and chestnut trees. Here, the thyme is very prevalent, allowing you to breathe air much more perfumed than the one in our cities.

Set amid pastures and wooded hills covered with chestnut trees, this Cévennes getaway offers splendid views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

Located at an altitude of 600 m, in the foothills of the Cévennes, Colognac is a typical Cévennes village. The lush vegetation of the meadows, chestnut and oak trees contrasts with the arid heath. You are in the mountains. From the Col des Fosses (900 m), the views stretch north over the Borgne valley to the Barre des Cévennes, and south-west over the Viganais and beyond. At the start, the Mouleyrette mill is a little gem.

A beautiful loop in the Cévennes, 99% on trails. Varied terrain, diverse panoramas including the superb 360° view of Montcalm from the heights of Alès. For me, this is the most beautiful loop to do in less than 3 hours near Alès. There is only tarmac on the street where you park, and the terrain is very varied (pine and oak forests), with trails ranging from narrow, steep and technical to wide, open tracks, with fords, beautiful views and the most beautiful panorama in the area: it has everything!
