Departure from bowling alley, rue de Tracastel. La Nielle, Nigella, its little Latin name, takes place over 12 km with a slope of 8%. Close to the village, it borders the gardens. Along its course, erosion has formed an invasion of reed beds and cane of Provence. To contemplate without limits... (!) Following a rainy episode, the level of the Nielle is likely to vary: the path then risks being submerged, therefore impassable. Sign indicating the loops in front of the Town Hall.

1

Step 1

Continue on rue de Trascastel then rue d'En Jacou, rue de las Ieras, then turn left into rue de la Beurada. At the end of the street, go down along the Nielle by a balcony path, then in the bed of the river.

Step 2

Here, 2 options are available to you: either you follow the bed of the Nielle to the mill of the Turbine (continued in point 3), or you opt, on the left, for the bed of the creek d'en Janet (recommended in case of rain, see "variant").
3

Step 3

Here again, you will have two possibilities: either return to the previous point by the same path (allow 15 minutes for the round trip), or take the path on the left which passes above the turbine and climbs steeply before setting foot on the plan. Go along the agricultural land of Planal.

Step 4

Continue on the main path and reach the small road which returns to the left towards the village.

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!

The first part along the Nielle is the area I prefer, the return by tarred paths in the vineyards is of little interest but the walk is nice all the same.
