Hameaux de Verdaches

A peaceful trail through woods, farms and valleys. A diversion to the Saint-Domnin chapel is a must at the start of the trail.
This mainly woodland route will take you through some of the many hamlets in the commune of Verdaches.

Hiking car park (1 140 m) - Head back towards Verdaches. Turn right in front of the church, walk past the town hall and then up an alleyway on the left. Reach a road and follow it uphill to the right. At the agricultural shed, follow the path to the left and then left again at the crow's feet. The path crosses a collet and then descends to a crossroads.
Flagustelle (1 170 m) - Go straight ahead and then left a little further on. The track ends in a meadow, go along the meadow to the left and find a track. Follow it for 20 m and then turn left again onto a path alongside the stream. Do not enter the meadow, but walk alongside the meadow and then the stream and climb a track to the right. This soon becomes a path that climbs into the forest and leads to a collet. Turn right and continue up through the woods. Join a meadow and then the hamlet of La Sambue.
La Sambue (1 356 m) - Continue straight on to the fountain (non-drinking water). The path descends through pastureland (keep the fences closed) and passes close to a spring. Go right down into the valley and then into the forest. Join a stream and follow it downhill along a succession of paths and tracks until you reach a tarmac road. Go straight on, then turn left and enter the hamlet of "La Route".
At the fountain, turn right, then straight on at the road junction near a second fountain. Follow the tarmac road to the start car park.
