From St-Jean-d’Alcas to the Mascourbe plateau

Saint-Jean-d’Alcas Fort, a Cistercian jewel is the starting point for a trip back in time and an exploration of the Mascourbe plateau, along dolmens and evidences of agro-pastoralism. From St-Jean d’Alcas fort, walk along the protective wall heading to the West, then carry on along the road. At the first intersection walk downhill to the left and keep walking on the small road. In a left curve, let a road marker indicating the direction of Mascourbe via the Puech and 50 m after take a “bouissière” (box hedges). After approximately 1 km, cross the road that links Saint-Jean- d’Alcas to Saint-Félix de Sorgues and continue through the “bouissière”. The track leads to a field, walk around it to the right, then tread across it up to a trail. Carry on along that trail to the right. After approximately 450 m, leave the trail on the left to make a short 100 m round trip to the dolmen des Places. At the next intersection of trails take the one that runs down to the left. After 350 m, get through the door of the stock grid, walk along the fence up to a sheepfold. Go through the gate (close it properly) and carry on to the right of the fence. The path continues Southward. At the signpost of a path intersection, turn right towards Mascourbe. Go through another stock grid, then continue to the right towards Mascourbe via the 2 km long "buissière" which is the ancient path linking the chartreuse de Nonenque with Mascourbe. At the exit of the "buissière", turn to the right on the trail. At the junction with the road take it to the right, walk past the Borie du Commandeur, and shortly after take for 200m the small ascending road to the left. At the marker to your right, head towards Saint-Jean d’Alcas. The path runs alternately through a typical caussenard landscape and cultivated areas to reach the two dolmens in Mascourbe. You will enjoy some beautiful panoramas towards the Larzac, the Combalou and the Levézou. As you walk down to St-Jean d’Alcas, you pass close to the beautiful Ramondenc farm. As you get close to St-Jean d’Alcas you will notice on the left side a well preserved cazelle. The circuit ends by retracing your steps by the small road you took at the start. © Laurent PRIVAT - Asso des Amis de St-Félix

De St-Jean-d'Alcas à Sylvanès

This hike which provides some amazing contrasts joins up with the Mascourbe agro-pastoral plateau, then runs down into the pleasant Sorgues valley and eventually ascends the forested mountain towards Sylvanès. Walk along the St Jean d’Alcas fort by heading west. At the first intersection take left a small descending road. The road then runs uphill. Leave the right road and in a left hand curve take opposite the first bouissière in the direction of Mascourbe via the dolmens. Soon you will make out on your right a cazelle in good condition. A bit further on, the path runs across a cultivated field and nearby, the beautiful building of Ramondenc is worth seeing. The path rises on the Causses and reaches the 2 dolmens of Mascourbes.    Enjoy the beautiful view over the Lévezou, the Larzac, the Escandorgue, and the Montagne Noire. As you reach a small road, take it on your left to walk past the Borie which is an ancient farm of the Hospitaller Commandery in St Félix. At the signboard indicating Mascourbe, just before the first house, take left into the bouissière which leads to the plateau. At the junction with a trail, take the trail to the right. 500 m further on the trail reaches a power line, fork to the left to come up to the stone cross of Mascourbe which overlooks the Sorgues valley. Walk by the main trail down to the bottom of the Cantillergues dale. Just before entering the village of St Félix, the trail turns into a sunken path that runs to the centre of the village. St Félix is an ancient Hospitaller Commandery and has kept evidences of its past: fountain, washing place, St Jean gate, battlements, covered passages, heritage house and 13th century Old bridge. From the ancient inn, take the calade (road paved with cobblestone) that runs down to gardens and the Sorgues river. Cross the bridge over the river and take the small road to the right towards St Caprazy for approximately 700 m, then in a left curve take right the path that leads to St Caprazy (ancient medieval hamlet). The path crosses a first trail, then a second one just before joining the Vareilhes farm. Before reaching Vareilhes take left into the splendid bouissière that goes up to the Loubière.

Before the small car park, take a track which starting point is not clearly visible and which runs down after a curve on the left side of the road, throughout a field first, then along a hedge. Ford the Vernhes brook. Reach the Combalou hamlet, walk downhill to the right to join the D540. After the bridge take the road to the left, pass through the hamlet of Rigal before reaching Sylvanès

Canoles Trail via the forest house
40 km

Canoles Trail via the forest house

In the forest, all the fantasy of the karst relief unfolds along the way: rock shelters, stone arches, caves… right up to the canoles, rocky notches barely wider than a backpack! Annual closure of access to Canoles from October 1st to November 30th in accordance with the municipal decree of September 25, 2025 n° AR-ADM-2025-17. From the parking area, follow the track towards Canalettes for approximately 2.5 km (crossing two cattle grids). Leave the track to the left and take a path through the woods. After about 170 m, on the right, you'll find a cavity with a hole in the ceiling called "La grotte éclairée" (the illuminated cave). Continue along the marked path until you reach the track. Follow it to the left for 200 m to reach the Canalettes forest house. Go through the gate just past the house. 100 m further on, make a short out-and-back detour to the left through the ONF (National Forestry Office) arboretum to see the lavogne (a traditional water tank). Then continue to the left; the path descends slightly. 150 m further on, follow the signs for "Abri des Canalettes" (Canalettes Shelter), pass the Mousterian shelter, and continue on a small path that climbs gently and then veers left. At the intersection with another path, turn right and continue for approximately 600 m. The path turns south and the ground becomes sandy; a rocky chaos comes into view on the right. The path is well-defined and leads to a stone arch. Pass under it and immediately turn right. Go past a large, pyramid-shaped rock, then head left to pass Le Crâne du Géant (the Giant's Skull). Continue straight ahead, leaving a cave with a built section on your right. The path climbs slightly to reach "Le sanctuaire de l'homme mort" (the Sanctuary of the Dead Man) on the left. Continue along the rocks sculpted by water and erosion to arrive at "La Grotte de la Sorcière" (the Witch's Cave). Leave the cave to your right and continue along the path. At the crossroads, turn right onto the path through the forest. Further on, the ground becomes sandy and stony, leading to the entrance of the first canole. Take the small path to the right that descends between two cairns (piles of stones erected by hikers to mark a location) to visit the canole. At the back, there is a cave with a sinkhole (bring a flashlight). Retrace your steps to the cairns and descend to the right. 50 meters further on, take the path on the right that leads to the second canole. Make the round trip. At the exit of the canole, continue straight ahead on the path through the forest. It opens onto a clearing. Cross it and then continue straight ahead through the woods to reach a second clearing. Turn left to visit the Sébillère cave. Retrace your steps and continue straight ahead on a wide path to reach the track at the cattle grid. Cross the fence and turn right to return to the starting point.
