Tour of the vineyards at the Causse
Saint Mathieu-de-Tréviers
Pay attention to the breakthroughs of nature in the city, and leave the urban environment to stray further away...
Sainte-Croix-de-Quintillargues
From the vines to the pine trees: when nature reveals itself, it lets its secrets appear...
You walk along the hill of La Suque! At the bend in the road, you will discover the small heritages that it protects: lime kilns, shelters, charcoal kilns...
Saint-Bauzille-de-Montmel
Welcome to the foot of the Puech des Mourgues: a small mountain which contributes to the beauty of our landscapes, it takes its name from "nuns" in reference to the convent whose remains are hidden in the vegetation...
Fontanès
Village with 32 wells... How many will you see?
Leave the woods and thickets... to get back to the vines!
Aleyrac
A small hamlet full of surprises: between vineyards and the warmth of the sun, marvel at this chapel hidden in a haven of peace...
Causse Rock
Take a step up and reach the belvedere to contemplate the horizon which can be seen at 360°. You will overlook a territory, a land, but also 2200 years of history by not missing a crumb of the remains of habitats present on the site.
Ferrières-les-Verreries
On the Causse de l'Horthus, glassmaking has its own history. As early as 1280, glassmakers were blowing glass with wood, lime and quartz from pebbles taken from the Hérault. They travelled to Sommières by the Chemin des Verriers.
Between garrigues and vineyards, enjoy the alliance of glass and wine!
Notre-Dame-de-Londres
After passing a small pass, you will see the village with the Pic Saint Loup in the background. The Val de Londres welcomes you in all its beauty, bathed in sunshine, sometimes lacking shade in hot weather.
Mas-de-Londres
You will have enjoyed, during your crossing of the Val de Londres, a pleasant view of the crests of the Hortus. Continue your walk to gain some height along the way: a panorama awaits you, as well as the coolness of the holm oak forest.
Cazevieille
Famous village, being the starting point of the Pic-Saint-Loup ascent. Nothing to add, except to wish you a nice walk and many wonderful pictures!
The Chouette du Chai and the Clos des Reboussiers will give you the necessary fuel to climb the mountain of the Montpellierans. You will then go back down to Saint Mathieu-de-Tréviers.

The opportunity to hike in the vineyards of remarkable domains, the opportunity to get a change of scenery several times: vegetation and viewpoints change during your walk (Vallon de Londres, Puech des Mourgues, Colline de la Suque, Pic Saint-Loup...)
We won't tell you any more: you'll be in for some nice surprises!
A perfect hike for the autumn.
