Castans, village of the Montagne Noire, is perched at the top of the Clamoux valley, where it spreads out in hamlets clinging to its flanks. As its name suggests, it is the land of the chestnut tree.

Further on, in the steepest parts, on the cool banks of streams, there is still the chestnut tree, an important source of income for the inhabitants in the past. Old sheepfolds recall that there was also a considerable pastoral activity. Signs: Yellow markings Departure  Place de l'Eglise. Cross the bridge over the Clamoux. Turn right and then immediately left on the "Chemin de Brescou". The path climbs between two walls and then crosses terraces with some fruit trees. Pass next to a “capitella” drystone hut. After the scrubland, go past holm oaks and pass by the old sheepfold of "Costo Granie". Climb up to the crest of the Cocaillère pass. Go down slightly and turn left along the fence.
