Description

The variety of new discoveries is what makes this short walk so rich. So many curiosities to be discovered with the family!

From the car park, turn right. Follow the road-side and turn left towards Les Baumes.

Go under the Les Eygas bridge, and then follow the path on the left heading towards Rabioux. From the path, join a track and continue past the houses. At the next crossroads at « Serre des Gayes », go right towards « Le Rabioux ». When you reach the fields lower down, follow the path leading uphill. Continue to head towards Rabioux and go past the interpretation trail ("sentier d'interprétation"). As you emerge from the forest, where the track reaches the fields turn left at the intersection.
After a few metres, take the road on the right. From here, head towards Le Rabioux.
Go along the road-side and then, at the Herbonne plateau, take the track on the left and carry on towards the chapel of Saint James.  Just before this, follow the path running downhill to the left towards Le Rabioux. For the return stretch, go across the Pont de Eygas.
