Step 1

From the starting panel on the square of the old town hall, leave the car park on your right and continue on the "rue de la Couverte". Then head towards the church, climb the beautiful staircase that leads to its forecourt and turn right into “rue du N” to catch up with rue du Cabaïrido below. Cross the small bridge and take the paved road on the right which follows the stream. At 150 m take the grassy path on the left which leads further on to a small road, it runs along the vines, we follow it for 600 m

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!
