Les Pins
Despite the duality of chestnut trees and maritime pines, on this walk you will find everything that makes the charm of the Cévenol lanscape: low walls, well-maintained chestnut groves, typical Cévenol mas (isolated farms), panoramic views onto the valleys… and a shady path too.
Description
From the car park behind the church, walk uphill on the road, take the road on the left and then immediately the path on the right that climbs the hillside.
- Take the wider path on the right. This goes back down through a chestnut grove to a small road (please respect this private property)
- Turn right onto the road for 300m to the hamlet of La Blichère.
- As you enter the hamlet, take the path that goes uphill on the right (please respect this chestnut grove, which is farmed). Cross the Valat des Clots ravine and continue on the path which leads to a road. (Optional viewpoint : turn left and then right on the road, then retrace your steps)
- Take the track on the right that goes steadily uphill and continue straight ahead, ignoring a track on your right.
- When you arrive at the road, turn right onto it and walk for 180m.
- Take the path on the right and, at the crossroads, continue downhill on the left (careful: beehives on the right). Continue downhill, ignoring the tracks on your right.
- At the road, turn right to return to your starting-point (500m).
- Departure : St-Julien des Points (church)
- Arrival : St-Julien des Points (church)
- Towns crossed : Saint-Julien-des-Points, Le Collet-de-Dèze, and Sainte-Cécile-d'Andorge
