This path offers sweeping views over Vogüé before following dry-stone walled tracks through the garrigue. It ends in the woods, running alongside limestone rock formations.

A lovely short walk, mainly through the countryside just outside Vogüé. Stunning views of the village and the clapas (stone walls). Flower-filled scrubland. Rocky woodland.
